Tunic Weaving Process

Marking my second project on a rigid heddle loom, I finally got around to finishing my not-a-cosplay-I-swear tunic to be linked (heh) in the future.

(Edit: Final product here!)

This tunic splits the difference between the original reference image here, and the comic pages. The only noticeable factors are that the hem's curve is somewhat shallow, and that the sleeve details are three parts (as versus five).

The tunic shaping is also modified to be more... Tunic-y. That is to say, made of rectangles and straight seams—so no set-in sleeves, and a bit of a wider shape to account for the woven fabric type.

It will be accompanied by a linen under-tunic and hemp-amber necklace. Made because they all look nice together, but also separately.

[ALL IDs IN ALT TEXT]

Starting out, I calculated how much yarn would be needed for the body (incorrectly), and set up all of my warp threads.

After my first project's hiccups, the warp threads were individually tied so as to minimize risk of uneven tension.

For whatever reason, I decided to curve the hem as part of the piece, rather than enforcing, trimming, and hemming to a curve. (This was also incorrect—or at least a bad move.)

The full, finished back piece is pictured above, and is a little more loosely woven than the front panel, but is still absolutely warm enough to justify material costs.

The neckline for the front was made in two parts starting at the split. The widest part of the neckline was essentially cut away. All fringe was woven in on the neckline (and the hem), and the shoulder seams were bound together with this method as well. Side seams were just back-stitched.

The neckline was crocheted with a lighter yarn as a border, and a faux closure was attached to match the reference.

As mentioned, the smart move would have been to curve the bottom of the tunic through enforcement, trimming, and hemming, so to make the front more even with the back, this is what I ended up doing, despite that it was... Already curved.

The sleeves deserved a gusset, especially because those aid a place that would normally be a weak point on regular fabric, and would be extra prone to pulling on something handwoven like this.

Finally, sleeve decorations were chain-stitched in the accent color to match the neckline.

It took several months of intermittent work to finish, but could have probably been less had the tall task of weaving in several hundred loose threads not daunted me so much.

It was made from alpaca, which I justify via my intention to wear this as it gets colder in the northern hemisphere, but also because I could not get my hands on hemp yarn (which would have made more sense in the context of the setting).

Slow Fashion in Vietnam: A Movement Gaining Momentum

Slow fashion is not just a trend; it's a shift in mindset. It's about valuing quality over quantity, investing in timeless pieces, and supporting sustainable practices. In recent years, the slow fashion movement in Vietnam has been steadily gaining momentum as consumers become more conscious of the environmental and social impacts of the traditional fast fashion industry. Fueled by a growing awareness of sustainable practices and a desire to support local artisans, Vietnamese brands and designers are embracing the principles of slow fashion and offering thoughtful, ethically-produced alternatives to the mass-produced garments that have long dominated the market.

Embracing Sustainable Practices

One shining example of the slow fashion ethos in Vietnam is Kilomet109, a Hanoi-based brand that showcases the country's rich textile heritage. Founded by designer Vu Thao, Kilomet109 meticulously crafts each garment, utilizing eco-friendly materials and traditional techniques (Ngo Quynh,2022). Their dedication to sustainability extends beyond the production process, as they actively promote environmental awareness and encourage responsible consumption habits among their customers.

Another notable brand, Fashion4Freedom, shows the desire to use fashion to liberate and develop. Each F4F product is a true work of art thanks to its uniqueness in concept and processing. Dragon Shoes is an example. The sole of the shoe "takes advantage" of jackfruit wood purchased from local families, intricately carved. F4F also has many impressive products such as patterned costumes of the Ta Oi people, jewelry collections from phones and computers. and broken tablets, wooden jewelry... When looking at products from F4F, we have the right to be proud of a carving culture coming from traditional craft villages (Nhi Nguyen, 2022).

Environmental Benefits and Cultural Preservation

The environmental benefits of slow fashion in Vietnam are undeniable. Slow fashion brands typically utilize natural, organic materials like organic cotton, hemp, and Tencel. These materials require less water, energy, and harmful chemicals compared to conventional fast-fashion fabrics. Additionally, slow fashion emphasizes smaller production batches, minimizing textile waste, a significant environmental concern in the global fashion industry.

Furthermore, slow fashion in Vietnam celebrates and revitalizes traditional craftsmanship techniques. Many brands collaborate with local artisans who possess skills in weaving, dyeing, and embroidery passed down through generations. This not only preserves cultural heritage but also empowers local communities by providing sustainable livelihoods for artisans. Brands like Gia Studio, which uses natural dyes and handwoven fabrics to create traditional Vietnamese clothing, are examples of this cultural preservation (Pameyla Cambe,2024)

A promising for future

The slow fashion movement in Vietnam is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to make a significant impact on the global fashion industry. As more and more Vietnamese consumers embrace slow fashion principles, the industry is poised to play a significant role in reducing the fashion industry's environmental impact and promoting ethical labor practices.

The rise of slow fashion in Vietnam signals a promising shift towards more sustainable and socially responsible consumption. As this movement grows, it not only brings environmental and economic benefits but also strengthens the cultural fabric of Vietnamese society, weaving a future where fashion respects both people and the planet.

[shinsengumi-archives]

Hello there,

I had a question about the Shinsengumi uniform and I thought you may be able to help me. I have recently been thinking of recreating their light-blue haori and wondered if you might know the proper fabric that should be used for it and how one adds the white mountain patterns at the cuffs. Do they need to be part of the fabric itself or can they be sewed on or embroidered? These might sound like silly questions but I can't seem to find the proper answer anywhere.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for asking!

Part 2 from this post would be useful. According to Nagakura's diary, the Shinsengumi uniform was made by the Daimaru store. They've recently created a reproduction using handwoven linen and natural dyes (probably using light indigo to get asagi blue). It's also possible that the uniform was made from coarse hemp due to financial constraints in the Shinsengumi at that time.

I haven't found anything about how the Shinsengumi originally added the patterns to the cuffs, but from the close-up photos of Daimaru's reproduction, they're part of the fabric itself using a resist-dyeing technique, where the rest of the uniform blue is dyed blue and the patterns on the cuffs are left white along with the “誠” (sincerity) character on the back.

Let me know if you need any more help. Would be cool to see how it turns out 😊

Sustainable Style: Redefining Fashion With Handwoven Textiles

Introduction to Sustainable Style

In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the fashion industry towards sustainability. Consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental and social impact of their clothing choices, leading to a growing demand for sustainable fashion alternatives. One such alternative gaining traction is handwoven textiles, which not only showcase exquisite craftsmanship but also promote eco-friendly practices. In this blog, we will explore how handwoven textiles are redefining fashion by integrating sustainability into every thread.

The Rise of Handwoven Textiles

Handwoven textiles have a rich history dating back centuries, embodying cultural heritage and artisanal skills. These textiles are crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations, ensuring the preservation of indigenous craftsmanship. Unlike mass-produced fabrics, handwoven textiles prioritize quality over quantity, resulting in unique and timeless pieces that stand the test of time.

Embracing Sustainable Materials

Central to the ethos of handwoven textiles is the use of sustainable materials. Natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and hemp are preferred for their biodegradability and low environmental impact. Additionally, artisans are exploring innovative materials like bamboo and recycled yarns to further reduce their ecological footprint. By prioritizing sustainable materials, handwoven textiles offer a guilt-free alternative to conventional fashion.

Integrating Traditional Techniques

At the heart of handwoven textiles are the intricate weaving techniques passed down through generations. Artisans employ traditional looms and methods to create intricate patterns and designs, infusing each piece with cultural significance and artistic expression. By preserving these age-old techniques, handwoven textiles celebrate heritage while embracing modern sustainability practices.

The Art of Slow Fashion

In contrast to fast fashion's disposable mentality, handwoven textiles embody the principles of slow fashion. Each garment is carefully crafted with attention to detail, resulting in garments that are made to last. By investing in timeless pieces, consumers can cultivate a more conscious wardrobe that transcends fleeting trends and promotes sustainability.

Collaborating with Artisans

Handwoven textiles foster meaningful collaborations between designers and artisans, bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. By partnering with skilled weavers, designers can create unique collections that showcase the beauty of handwoven textiles while supporting local communities. These collaborations not only preserve cultural heritage but also empower artisans economically.

Exploring Versatile Designs

Handwoven textiles offer endless possibilities for creative expression, with designs ranging from intricate patterns to minimalist textures. Whether used in clothing, accessories, or home decor, these textiles add a touch of authenticity and sophistication to any setting. From vibrant ikat to delicate jacquard, handwoven textiles inspire designers to explore new avenues of creativity while promoting sustainable style.

Reducing Environmental Impact

In an era of climate change and environmental degradation, the fashion industry faces increasing scrutiny for its ecological footprint. Handwoven textiles offer a sustainable solution by prioritizing natural materials, reducing water consumption, and minimizing waste. By embracing eco-friendly practices, artisans and designers can mitigate the environmental impact of fashion production while promoting a greener future.

Supporting Ethical Practices

Beyond environmental concerns, handwoven textiles prioritize ethical practices throughout the supply chain. By supporting fair trade principles and empowering local artisans, these textiles promote social responsibility and economic empowerment. Consumers can feel confident knowing that their purchases support ethical labor practices and contribute to the well-being of communities worldwide.

Crafting Timeless Elegance

In a world obsessed with fast-paced trends, handwoven textiles offer a refreshing alternative rooted in timeless elegance. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition, transcending fleeting fashion fads. From hand-dyed silks to intricately woven wool, these textiles exude an aura of sophistication that never goes out of style.
