(Taken from:A Family History, by Donovan Faust)

Like his father and grandfather, William REYNOLDS was engaged in trade. This required him to make repeated trips to England, during one of which, in February 1668, he died at about age 62. His business probably required that he dress better than the average colonial of the time who wore mostly rough, homemade breeches and long linen shirt along with a loose woolen coat in winter. William, on the other hand, most likely could purchase tailored garments of smooth cloth while in England. He may have worn breeches fastened at the knees with bows or silver buckles, linen shirt with ruffles at the neck and wrists, a brightly colored waistcoat and knee-length coat with several rows of fancy buttons.
