Warm Garment is one of the basic need of all human beings, serving the purpose of warm in cold weather and also give the skin protection from a lot of disease which occurred due to the harsh cold . Also the conditions of environment are not the same for people living around globe, varying from extreme cold regions and hot areas. One type of Garment can’t serve the purpose of protection from every climate, keeping in view the comfort of wearer. Garment for hot climates is normally loose and light weight, allowing evaporation of sweat easily. While the Garment of cold weather is normally bulky and used in more than one layer But we made that bulky Garment light weight and which give the excellent thermal insulation and protection against wind …show more content…
For example, either the physical work is continuous or intermittent; the activity rate is low or high, etc. and ecological conditions like temperature, humidity, wind conditions, rain or snow fall expected, etc. The following material characteristics should be considered while determining the garment adequacy for any cold weather:
a) Thermal

The insulation value is mainly depends on thickness of material, the ability of garment to trap air and how dry the material is. The trapped air acts as a heat insulator.
1 Clo = 0.155 K-m²/W
b) Evaporative Resistance:
Moisture iº produced on skin by sweating. In hot climatic conditions, the sweat is evaporated releasing heat of body and causing a cooling effect. The heat loss due to evaporation is not required in cold; the key thing is to transfer the sweat from skin to outside through Garment. The condensed sweat is absorbed by the hydrophilic fibers in the material and transferred to the Garment surface where it evaporates. The permeability of garment expresses its ability to allow the passage of vaporized moisture through the material. The thermal insulation of clothing decreases by 30-50% if moisture transfer is not facilitated through the material.
c) Water Resistance: It refers to the ability of outer clothing shell to resist the liquid moisture from outer climate to enter the material. As discussed earlier, a decreased water entry in the garment will help to maintain the insulation value and ultimately the comfort of
Different chemistries and production methods of these fibers give them certain advantages. as viscose’s ability to combine with other fibers to create new fabrics easily) and disadvantages. such as nylon’s quickly weakening fibers or natural silk’s difficulty of production. other that make them more or less suitable for certain purposes. For this reason, when? considering silk and artificial silk, it is illogical to pick one fiber that is superior to the others.
On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.
The attire of the period had variants sometimes when it came to age, social class, economic position, and even job placement. These factors made a difference in style of clothing, style of sleeves, choice of fabric, and amount of fabric used in a garment. A rich woman might buy very expensive brocade for her dress where a poorer woman might simply buy a singular colored wool or cotton. When the war arrived, cotton and silk increased, making it harder to obtain (Mitchell 4). It was these fabrics; wool, silk, muslin, linen, etc., that made the weight of the whole outfit so heavy and awkward.
I have noticed that the clothing worn in Canada during the winter and summer season is similar to the apparel worn in China. Canadians wear down coats, insulated boots, gloves, mitts, scarves, and toques throughout the winter season. I know for a fact Canada has very cold winters which is why people wear many layers and down jackets. China also wears similar clothing in order to keep themselves warm, although it is common to see padded jackets instead of down coats. Summer clothing of both cultures are alike because they both wear clothing that
The strengths of the book come from its’ accessibility. The book is easy to follow and provides readers with a great deal of information about the production of mass-manufactured clothing. As well as brings awareness to its’ many issues which we inadvertently take part in when we purchase such products. The book is well written and thoroughly researched but does have its’ share of weaknesses.
The demand changes from country to country and from society to society. There are different demands in clothes for people living in Atlanta as compared to people living in New Jersey.

Bulletproof clothing is the most interesting thing I have ever seen in my life. There is not really a problem of bulletproof clothing besides it is very expensive to make it. It is very expensive just because of the materials. The materials are spider-silk, vectran and Kevlar. The history of bulletproof has been worn for thousands of years. Even the medieval Europe worn body armor. By the 1500’s, they changed the development of cannons and guns. Bulletproof in the encyclopedia means the protection of bullets, knives and puncture wounds. They have made antiballistic protective clothing. The material of it is single layer or multilayer package. The bulletproof clothing basically looks like a very strong net.
The textile manufacturing industry is one of the biggest industries in the world that is currently worth nearly three thousand trillion dollars. The industry is constantly growing with the wants from consumers around the world. In order to meet and satisfy these wants from customer, “Development in the textile and clothing industry has focused on technological and cost aspects. Emphasis has been placed on keeping the price of the final product low and increasing efficiency in production.” (Niinimaki & Hassi, 2010, p. 1876) At the same time, with this expansion of the textile manufacturing industry and its consumption, pollution, climate change, fossil fuel and raw material depletion, and water pollution and shortage are constantly occurring
Fur is the oldest form of clothing and it has been worn by humans for varies of reasons through out history. Fur has been used by human as clothing since the ancient times to protect their themselves from climatic conditions.

Fast fashion is a term used by fashion retailers to express that designs move from runway quickly in order to capture current fashion trends. Fast fashion clothing collections are based on the most recent fashion trends from both fall and spring fashion week. This fast fashion strategy is currently used by well-known brands such as H&M, Zara, Top shop and many other brands. Fast fashion allows consumers to take advantage of current clothing styles at a lower price because fast fashion trends are designed and manufactured quickly and cheaply. However convenient aspect of fast fashion has been leading to promote consumerism since clothing had become unfashionable and not wearable quickly. Also a lot of these garments are made of unsustainable fabrics, which is a huge threat to our ecosystem. Solution for problems in fast fashion is needed.
Textile industry plays a very important role in fulfilling human needs. The industry contributes to produce garments and apparels that human used in their everyday lives. Different types of textiles are used widely by humans in their activities. They used it to cover their bodies, cover their food or ripe plants from animals and weather, to coat their furnitures, and sometimes also used to assists them in sports.
