for this project we must make one full outfit, my initial proposed ideas of what garments this outfit will be made up of are as follows :
merino wool trousers
-to be worn as a baselayer or can be worn on their own
-simple in design, close fitting to the leg
-adjustable ankle cuffs to fit into boots easier
-black in colour
breathable over trousers
-goretex/teflon/tactel finish
-must be windproof, waterproof, breathable
-likely a laminate fabric
-many pockets
-knee reinforcement through repeated lines of tucks (see motorcycle trousers post)
-will connect to the wool trousers at waistband so they are easily worn together
-idea is that both worn together during the day enables wearer to just take off over trousers and sleep in the wool ones
-tabs around ankles to allow them to be tightened
bamboo pants
-womenswear
-designed to combat smell primarily
-bamboo is naturally antibacterial and smell/stain repellent
yoga top/womens top baselayer
-simple high neck tight fitting design
-likely bamboo, same fabric as pants
hooded hemp spandex baselayer
-loose fitting (not tight)
-long sleeves with tighter cuffs for warmth
-high base of hood so that when the hood is down it gathers to create a poler neck, and when worn up the hood covers more of the face, better for warmth, will also have a drawstring around the neck which can be tightened
-3 piece hood
-printed patch with invisible zip for pocket
-black in colour - possibility of using acid dyeing to create terracotta colour
loose fitting t shirt
-simple design
-wide neck
-longline
-made to layer over the long sleeve hooded baselayer
-naturally dyed
softshell fleece with zip off waterproof over-coat
-nanotec membrane fleece/similar fabric that has a fleecy pile on one side and jersey on the other
-design of fleece quite 'patagonia-esque' with centrally opening long front zip
-inside and outside pockets
-attachable waterproof coat which connects to fleece
-not hooded but tall collar on fleece
