Found at the Saints Unscripted episode, "The sacred clothing of Latter-day Saint temples, and why it's significant"
"Unlike today, clothing in ancient times was very costly and difficult to make. The hand spinning and looming process could take possibly hundreds of hours for a single piece of clothing. Thus, the giving of clothing, especially ceremonial clothing, represented a significant bestowing of authority and power."
("The Laver and the Washing and Anointing of Priests", Oct 2019, Daniel Smith)
