Analysis of Cold Protective Clothing’s Design and Market - Functional & Structural Design

Abstract:

Relationships of cold protective clothing design and market were explored for apparel function and structure, and cold protective clothing company product to successful meet market demand. People require a large number of outdoor cold protective clothing that makes a chain of market, designer, consumer and manufacturer. They are not only focus on apparel functional comfort but also garment style preference structural design. Sophisticated new technologies are available to the apparel industry to create automated custom-fitted clothing, using 3-D body scanning and software designed to automate patternmaking to effectively improve productivity [1]. Currently, the quantification of fit is complex and ambiguous and objective methods. The purpose of this study was to explore the cold protective clothing manufacturer should have the necessary conditions on function and structure for the market demand.
