I believe the missing part is that it takes a lot of work to create that social network. Without a driving economic reason or lots of time and regional interest (ie generations) it would be difficult to redevelop. Much of this social capital requires lots of folks being interested in something since they were young and "playing" at it. Play is an important way to learn and understand it. Also I believe social capital requires adults to respect and take interest in the item, as children often take their cues from that. That said, I wonder if industrial clothing manufacturing requires that much social infrastructure? That industry seems to move very couple of decades to a new country with the cheapest labor.
