| Utility Scarf found in Blackpool |
The Utility Clothing Scheme was introduced by the government in 1941. Clothes came in a limited range of fabrics and styles, reducing the amount of material required to make garments. I found this scarf for 20p at The Salvation Army charity shop in Blackpool many years ago. Discovering it sparked my interest in 1940s utility clothing and the CC41 label.
