Ministry sells black clothes at factory prices to public

BANGKOK: -- The Ministry of Industry has joined with 60 clothing producers to manufacture and sell black shirts for the general public at factory prices to supplement demands for black shirts during the mourning period for His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

In light of the huge demand for black shirts during the mourning period in which demand is outstripping supplies, the Ministry of Industry had joined with 60 SMEs, OTOP (One Tambon, One Product) and other clothing factories to produce black shirts at factory prices for the public.

The joint cooperation has been launched under the ‘Factory Shirts for the Public’ sponsored by the Ministry of Industry.

The event will last until tomorrow and will greatly help lower the financial burden of many in the public as these clothing will be sold at factory prices.

Critically, attendees to the event will also be given demonstrations on how to dye clothing.

Alongside this, the ministry had also provided free dyeing service where the public can have their clothing sent to the Thailand Textile Institute to be dyed black.
