Research on Professional Garment Pattern Design and Process Innovation

Against the backdrop of simultaneously increasing demands from workplace populations for comfort, functionality, and aesthetics in professional garments, traditional professional garment design faces three core contradictions: "structural rigidity vs. mobility needs," "formality vs. casualization," and "standardization vs. personalization." Based on the technical practices of a leading company in the industry, this paper systematically analyzes its pattern design concepts and process innovations across categories including men's wear, women's wear, trousers, jackets (workwear), suits, overcoats, and shirts. The research shows that "lightweight" structural design, cross-border process integration, three-dimensional cutting technology, and digital intelligent manufacturing are four key directions for professional garment technological upgrading. The company'soriginal core technologies such as "accordion pleat," "compound bow shoulder," "seahorse back," "extreme hourglass," "leg-of-mutton sleeve," "warp-weft unhindered desk-work" and other core technologies, as well as the cross-border integration of Zhongshan collar style, Chinese standing collar craftsmanship, and men's suit sleeve style in the jacket category, provide replicable and scalable technical models for the professional garment industry.
