리틀·주니어 야구복 상의 기준패턴 개발

Abstract

Amidst the recent increase of little & junior baseball population, this study aims at developing the size specification and prototype pattern of baseball jerseys considering the body type characteristics of Korean children & teenagers and the athletic characteristics of baseball. The target range of research for little & junior baseball uniforms design was set at 7~15 year old boys in Korea. With 11 years as the prototype age when physical changes suddenly begin, the direct measuring instrument of 5th Size Korea was used to develop the size specification considering little & junior body types, and the grading increment based. Currently, the 1st research pattern appropriate for the prototype size has been manufactured through comparative analysis of the business pattern for 11 year olds from 3 local producer of little & junior baseball uniforms. The 1st research pattern was developed with extra chest size 21cm and garment length 67.2cm based on the sleeve type of open-type set. Using the 3-dimensional human model, the 1st Virtual Fitting Simulation was created and fitting test was conducted by 5 experts. Accordingly, the final prototype pattern was designed, and the 2nd Virtual Fitting Simulation was conducted. According to its results, the final prototype pattern that set the extra chest size as 16cm was developed. Hence, the size specification and prototype pattern of baseball jerseys for little & junior developed in this study shall be provided to baseball uniform manufacturers of limited market size where small scale businesses are concentrated in establishing the foundation for technological basis in local little & junior baseball uniform market.
