In 1884, Lewis Tomalin opened a clothing store in London, named Dr Jaeger's Sanitary Woollen System. Gustav Jäger (1832 1917) was a German naturalist and health expert. He advocated using simple wool textiles next to the skin, rather than plant fibres, as being better for health by allowing for easier evaporation of sweat. In this important sense he was one of the originators of health clothing, the early precursor of Gortex . One copy on OCLC. Seller Inventory # soasejk05
