Research of improving the method of designing ergonomic clothing for special purpose, taken into account of the construction of the “armholesleeve” unit

Abstract

This research focuses on the scientific exploration and development of ergonomic clothing tailored for specific military purposes, with a particular emphasis on addressing limitations imposed by the conventional "sleeve-armhole" design element in shoulder clothing products. The study involves a meticulous modification of the original shapes and sizes of foundational components, including the back, front, and sleeves, based on a mesh framework while striving to preserve the volumesilhouette and stylistic elements. The key enhancement involves a significant deepening of the armhole, a two-seam sleeve with an elbow seam, and the incorporation of a one-piece gusset in the optimized unit area, situated in the lower part of the collar. This innovative design solution not only allows for dynamic compliance with the functional conditions but also ensures optimal comfort and mobility for military personnel. The methodology employed in this development builds upon existing frameworks, emphasizing the seamless integration of modified components to enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The proposed design presents a promising advancement in military clothing technology, addressing critical challenges associated with upper extremity movement limitations and providing a foundation for further advancements in the field.
