In 1745, an ordinance was issued stating that 'if doshin (police constable) find townspeople wearing clothes like noshime (a kind of kimono for samurai), they should arrest them and confiscate the clothes on the spot, as townspeople are not allowed materials other than silk, tsumugi, cotton, and hemp.'
延享2年（1745年）にも「町人が絹・紬・木綿・麻以外の物を着てはならず、熨斗目などの衣装を着ているものがいれば、同心は捕えてその場で衣装を没収すべきである」と言う指示が出されている。
