The idiom "cut from the same cloth" originates from the world of tailoring and textiles, where clothes cut from the same cloth are expected to share similar features or characteristics. Dating back centuries, the phrase is tied to the process of making clothes. When used to create multiple garments, a single piece of cloth ensured that the garments shared similar patterns, textures, and qualities. Over time, this literal usage evolved into a more metaphorical one, signifying individuals who share similar qualities, values, or characteristics.
