>> In the days of yore in Sweden new linen shirts were given to the low-level workers to wear to 'break them in'. <<
How would the master ensure that the worker wouldn't either rip or tear it, while wearing it; and/or get some kind of non-removable stain on it?
One assumes that the worker took pains to take good care of the shirt. Also, the master or his representative would presumably not choose the wrong sort of worker to improve the shirt's qualities.
Ron who is still breaking in a linen shirt bought new - having no underlings to do it for me.
