The cutting process for outdoor clothing made from PU coated fabric takes into account the layering potential to ensure that garments can accommodate multiple layers while maintaining comfort, mobility, and performance in various weather conditions. Layering is essential in outdoor clothing to provide insulation, moisture management, and protection against the elements. Here's how the cutting process addresses the layering potential:
Design Considerations:
Designers consider the intended use and climate conditions for the outdoor clothing to determine the layering potential. For example, garments designed for cold or wet conditions may require more room for layering compared to those intended for milder climates.
The design of the garment takes into account the thickness and bulkiness of potential base layers, mid layers, and outer layers to ensure that the outermost layer made from PU coated fabric can comfortably accommodate them without constriction.
Pattern Development:
Patterns are developed with layering in mind, allowing for additional ease and room in key areas such as the chest, shoulders, and sleeves. This ensures that the garment can accommodate thicker layers without feeling tight or restrictive.
Seam allowances are adjusted to allow for the bulk of layered fabrics, ensuring that seams do not become strained or uncomfortable when multiple layers are worn together.
Sizing and Fit:
Sizing charts and fit models are used to determine the appropriate fit for outdoor clothing made from PU coated fabric, considering the layering potential. Garments are sized to accommodate base layers and mid layers without compromising mobility or comfort.
For outer layers such as jackets or parkas, the fit may be slightly more relaxed to allow for layering underneath while still maintaining a streamlined silhouette.
Testing and Prototyping:
Prototypes of outdoor clothing are tested in real-world conditions to assess their layering potential. Testers wear the garments with various combinations of base layers, mid layers, and outer layers to evaluate comfort, mobility, and overall performance.
Feedback from testers is used to refine the fit and design of the garments, ensuring that they can effectively accommodate layering without sacrificing functionality or style.
Adjustable Features:
Garments may incorporate adjustable features such as drawstrings, Velcro tabs, or elasticated cuffs to allow for customization of fit and layering options. These features enable wearers to adjust the fit of the garment based on the number and thickness of layers worn underneath.
Compatibility with Other Materials:
PU coated fabric is selected and cut in a way that ensures compatibility with other materials commonly used in outdoor clothing, such as moisture-wicking fabrics for base layers and insulating materials for mid layers. Compatibility ensures that the layers work together effectively to provide insulation, moisture management, and weather protection.
