Implementation of Weaving Techniques in Products Fashion Men’s Ready To Wear

Abstract

Woven crafts are a form of creativity in creating various kinds of products. Weaving techniques not only use materials from nature such as rattan, bamboo, pandan leaves, but can also use non-natural materials, one of which is textile fabric that can be applied to ready-made men's fashion products. Given the high market demand for men's fashion products that require a new touch to be more dynamic and keep up with the times but still include a little local content by applying weaving techniques to certain parts. The Anyaman technique is also a basic technique used in making a piece of cloth, but the process of making the cloth is assisted by a tool called a non-machine loom or ATBM and Gedog manually. Therefore, the focus of this research is to find out the opportunities for the application of weaving techniques in ready-to-wear menswear products. This research was conducted using qualitative methods and analyzed through literature study and indirect observation. This research produced a design concept and explored weaving techniques using fabric materials applied to ready-to-wear menswear products that have cultural, functional, aesthetic and marketable values.
