Clothing may be oversized; conventionally this means too large, but it may also be intentional for reasons of fashion or personal preference.
Wood and metal are sometimes used as clothing materials, for example in clogs or protective clothing, and in fasteners and stiffeners.

In Roman times, wool, linen and leather clothed the European population: the cotton of India was a curiosity that only naturalists had heard of, and silk, imported along the Silk Road from China, was an extravagant luxury.
Raw wool was baled and shipped from North Sea ports to the textile cities of Flanders, notably Ypres and Ghent, where it was dyed and worked up as cloth.
In each of the centers of the textile trade, the manufacturing process came to be subdivided into a collection of trades, overseen by an entrepreneur in the system English call the "putting-out" system, or "cottage industry" and the Germans term Verlagssystem.
