Most of these northern textile producers had been sending the bulk of their exports as price-takers', in the form of cheap, coarse, light, undifferentiated textiles, to the Mediterranean, where warm climates, mass urban markets, and -- during the 12th and 13th centuries -- low transaction costs had made such exports from north-west Europe profitable.
For reasons explored elsewhere, by the 1340s, some Flemish and Brabantine towns had adjusted to this crisis by shifting production, as `price-makers', to very high-priced highly differentiated luxury woollens, which could better bear these rising transaction costs.
From the 1360s, English cloth manufacturers pursued this same route, while enjoying a virtual monopoly on very high quality wools, and the protection of high export taxes on those wools to overseas competitors producing luxury woollens.
