Calico Acts
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico%20Acts
The English East India Company introduced Britain to cheap calico and chintz cloth after the restoration of the monarchy in the 1660s. Initially imported as a novelty side line, from its spice trading posts in Asia, the cheap colourful cloth proved popular and overtook the EIC's spice trade by value in the late 17th century. The EIC embraced the demand, particularly for calico, by expanding its factories in Asia and producing and importing cloth in bulk, creating competition for domestic woollen and linen textile producers. The impacted weavers, spinners, dyers, shepherds and farmers objected, with parliament petitioned, the EIC offices stormed by a mob, the fashion conscious assaulted for wearing imported cloth, making the calico question one of the major issues of National politics between the 1680s and the 1730s. Parliament began to see a decline in domestic textile sales, and an increase in imported textiles from places like China and India. Seeing the East India Company and their textile importation as a threat to domestic textile businesses, Parliament passed the 1700 Calico Act, blocking the importation of cotton cloth

Calico Acts
When the English East India Company introduced Britain to cheap calico and chintz cloth, the Parliament noted how a decline in domestic textile sales, and an increase in imported textiles from places like China and India, could be seen. Identifying the East India Company and their textile importation as a threat to domestic textile businesses, Parliament passed the Calico Act in 1700, which banned the import of most cotton clothing. A stricter 2nd Calico Act was passed in 1721, prohibiting the sale of most cottons, imported and domestic. Nonetheless, both acts were finally repealed in 1774, triggering a wave of investment in mill based cotton spinning and production, doubling the demand for raw cotton within a couple of years, and doubling it again every decade, till the 1840s.
