Adequate Clothing Supplies Foreseen Despite Shortages
A Iowa State College extension summary notes civilian demand for fabrics is 20 to 30 percent above average while shortages linger. Cotton prints and underwear output lag, wool supplies are ample but processing manpower limits usage. Aralac blends with wool and rayon. rayon remains scarce. labels help buyers identify rayon content. Synthetic rubber released but processing bottlenecks restrict foundation garments and elastic.
