Yes, sulfuric acid is used in clothing manufacture. This acid finds use in the making of dyes for fabrics, and it is used directly to make rayon and some other synthetic materials used to weave fabric which is used to make clothing. Sulfuric acid finds its largest use in manufacturing agricultural fertilizers, but H2SO4 is produced by the tank car load on a daily basis in industrialized countries around the world. And phosphate detergents are manufactured by the ton using this industrial chemical. That means that those clothes that might not be directly touched by products from the acid during manufacture will be swimming with the products of the acid on the flip side.

Can ninety two percent sulfuric acid prepared by adding liquid SO3 to eighty four percent sulfuric acid?

Yes, BUT... Liquid SO3 is HIGHLY reactive and not readily available. Pure SO3 reacts readily (and violently) with water or sulfuric acid. To manufacture sulfuric acid, dilute gaseous SO3 is absorbed in sulfuric acid to increase the concentration of the acid. 100% sulfuric acid can still absorb more SO3. When extra SO3 is dissolved in 100% H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) the solution is called oleum or fuming sulfuric acid. In general, oleum is used when free SO3 is required.
