@Oeconomist Not paper, I don't think I've seen anything to indicate the level of industrialization needed just to reduce the cloth back into loose fibers, and doing it by hand is more trouble than it's worth. Most likely the old clothes would be turned into lower quality "new" clothes, miscellaneous rags, and patches for clothing or furniture.
