In England, cloth merchants might be members of one of the important Trade Guilds , such as the Worshipful Company Of Drapers . An alternative name is a clothier, but that tends to refer more to some one who organised the Production and sale of cloth, whereas a cloth merchant would be more concerned with distribution, including overseas trade. The largely obsolete term merchant tailor also describes a business person who trades in textiles. In England, the term is best known in the context of the Worshipful Company Of Merchant Taylors , a Livery Company of the City Of London which is also a charitable institution known for its Merchant Taylors' schools. (The Company preserves the antiquarian spelling "taylor".) NOTABLE CLOTH MERCHANTS |
