Mohair is a fabric, OK, that goes in sweaters and stuff. All right.

Before and during the Korean War. We knew that American soldiers were going to be fighting in very cold territory. And we wanted to make sure there was enough wool and mohair for their uniforms.

What was the pushback like? They pushed back on it. And in fact, the subsidy came back. Of course. A couple of years later, it came back in a lesser form, but it did come back. To Elaine, nothing felt easy to get rid of.
