That's later 19th century miner's costume, if you buy a copy of the Castleton book (subtle hint) then you'll get a good copy of a picture of what the late 18th/early19th century was wearing, and Daniel Defoe described the late 17th century miners as wearing leather clothes.

As the SUSS Librarian I am making it my aim to procure one somehow but I can never get the chance - I entered the raffle at the Oxlow/Giant's 50th Event but didn't manage to win the copy that was going!

As the SUSS Librarian you probably have access to a lot of interesting stuff I've been trying to find for ages. So in return for a donated copy of the book for the SUSS library, how about a shufty through the archives?

The Library is currently in a disorganised transit - in August I'll be organising the whole thing ready for display in my house. People are welcome to come and have a look at it - I'm not sure what kind of thing you're looking for but if you let me know I'll see if I can dig it out of the boxed-up stuff.
