ABOUT THE BOOK

Knitted Clothing Technology is an essential, highly technical resource that serves as a core blueprint for the manufacturing and structural engineering of knitwear. The core philosophy of this text centers on mapping the precise mechanical differences between handling fluid, elastic weft-knitted fabrics versus rigid woven materials. Rather than operating as a basic design or home-knitting guide, the book functions as an industrial manual that focuses heavily on the technical conversion of raw knitted yardage into high-quality, commercially viable garments. The text provides deep, structured analyses of advanced pattern cutting, edge-finishing parameters, automated shaping, and construction mechanics. By matching specific yarn behavior and fabric properties with the structural tolerances of specialized assembly machinery, the volume offers fashion designers, textile engineers, and manufacturing professionals a reliable framework to maximize garment integrity and minimize material waste.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Terry Brackenbury is a widely respected academic, clothing technologist, and expert in textile sciences whose work bridged the gap between raw material engineering and the fashion manufacturing sector. Writing with the precise, methodical mind of an industrial engineer, his authorial voice avoids shallow design terminology in favor of objective, technical, and process-oriented instruction. Brackenbury designed the curriculum and text layers specifically to equip university students, apparel technicians, and industrial professionals with a systematic method to evaluate fabric handling. His practical industry insights allow readers to successfully predict how knitted fabrics will stretch, distort, and respond under stress on a commercial production line.
