Polish term or phrase: sukiennik
Czy można to przetłumaczyć jako "cloth manufacturer"?

cloth oznacza sukno (w dawnym ogólnym znaczeniu wyrobu włókienniczego)

sukiennice - cloth hall

Dziękuję za sugestie.

Explanation:
Wydaje mi się, że "maker" będzie tu lepsze - patrz też link poniżej - książka:
"A translation guide to 19th-century Polish-language civil-registration documents"

Swoją drogą super, że Google udostepnia takie rzeczy

Notes to answerer
Asker: Dziękuję! Link jest na prawdę świetny! Chyba jednak zdecyduję się na "cloth manufacturer" bo chodzi bardziej o fabrykanta niż zwykłego robotnika. Dziękuję!
