Random information on the term “SLOP”:
In 16th to 19th century Europe and North America, the slop trade was the manufacture and sale of slop, cheap ready-made clothing that was made by slop-workers and sold in slop-shops by slop-sellers.
The name “slop” was originally naval slang for the cheap ready-made clothing that a naval rating would purchase in lieu of an official uniform (which ratings in the British Royal Navy, at least, did not have until 1857) sometimes from a “slop chest” maintained on board ship by the purser.
The trade originated in government purchases of uniforms for soldiers and sailors; said uniforms being standardized and mass-produced rather than tailored to individuals, made to official specifications with rules about materials and shapes.The rise in the slop trade was particularly spurred on by wartime orders for military clothing, such as during the Nine Years War and the War of the Spanish Succession.
The slop trade was flourishing by the 18th century, as slop-sellers realized that they could sell to the general public as well as to the army and navy, and also received a boost from the Napoleonic Wars.Slop work became organized into a system of large clothing warehouses subcontracting out to small workshops or individuals.In the 19th century, however, “slop” was to gain a negative connotation, because of an economic conflict with the older bespoke tailoring industry.
