An account of the day to day essentials that people brought with them when migrating to New Zealand in the early 1800s. There are some great details in here about clothing, housing and food.

From the list of suggested clothing items in a Handbooks for Intending Emigrants  - 12 calico chemises for ladies and 6 pairs of Worsted stockings for men. Not to mention - waistcoats, jackets and caps. What you brought and how you dressed varied according to your standing in society. So 'gentlemen' were advised to bring with them 72 Calico shirts with Dress fronts whilst ladies would need 12 pairs of white kid gloves. Of course, it's easy to have a chuckle at these things, but life was tough back then - and this book makes that quite clear.  Interesting stuff. 

Hardback with dust jacket in good condition. Published in 1967

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
