PROFILE OF THE
ORGANIZATION AND
RESPONDENTS
INDUSTRY PROFILE:
In the early Stone Age period people felt the need to protect themselves
from the heat and cold. So they wove leaves and grass together to cover
themselves. Later on they began to use the skin of animals and the fine barks of
trees to make garments for them selves. The grew found of wearing skin and
bark because they could colour them and draw figures on them with the help.
There fore it is seen that man has been keen to dress up fashionably.
The 2nd world war and its after math was mainly responsible for souring
the seeds of an industry for manufacture of ready-made garments thus it is the
12th century when present form of garment industry really got set up and mass
tailoring of garment was executed. In a course of time a number of small-scale
units came to be set up all over the country many such units were started with
just 5 or 6 machines in individual homes. Job workers (skilled labourers) are the
product of the last quarter of 12th century. The large number of job worker with
master jobbers comes in to operation particularly in the North and Eastern part of
India. Master men collected orders from various clients and supplied the fabric
and trimming to the various job workers under their control these workers either
need to work at a centralised location of a master jobber are taken home the
fabric for trimming and return the finished product to master jobbers and a
predetermined date in western and southern part of the country with some
structural changes in operation of the units, the production system was made
export oriented.
The Indian garment industry has seen many ups and down in the 40’s
during 2nd world war, to meet the defence needs of mainly U.K. a set batch was
experienced by the industry after the war since demand dropped. The industry
could not utilise its full capacity the industry received in the 60’s.

'Serge de Nîmes'
But we do know that the phrase denim jeans is thought to derive from
several sources. No one is totally certain where the words come from. A majority
of source books suggest that denim derives from the English translation of the
South of France French phrase 'serge de Nîmes'. Denim fashion history is thus
associated with Serge de Nimes.
It may well be that the fabric which was made in France also had a version
made locally in England and was called by the same name of denim in the same
way that Cheddar cheese is called cheddar all over the world. The Serge de
Nîmes was originally a wool silk mix, twill weave. Certainly by the 19 th century in
England denim had a white warp and a navy woof (weft). Denim was considered
a hard wearing sturdy fabric, ideal for heavy labouring.
Genoese
It is also thought the name ' jeans ' comes from 'Genoese' the name for
Italian sailors of Genoa who when at sea dressed in blue fustian fabric
composed of a cotton and wool or linen blend. Genoese fabric was imported into
Britain as far back as the 16th century.
Thomas Hardy used the word fustian to describe basic clothes of a skilled
countryman in 'The Mayor Of Casterbridge.' He mentions a fustian waistcoat,
breeches and a jacket all the type of garments often made up in jeans material
today. In Pickwick Papers fustian is described by Dickens as 'common fustian'
which firmly puts it in the everyday category. In the 19th century American
weavers made hardwearing cotton duck, denim and jeans fabrics to satisfy a
home market. At some time some manufacturers must have replaced the yarns
with the locally produced, more readily available cotton making the fabrics all
cotton.
About 20 years later a solvent Levi Strauss and a Nevada tailor joined
forces to patent an idea the tailor had for putting rivets on stress points of
workman's waist high overalls commonly known as jeans. Levi Strauss chose to
use the stronger denim fabric and cotton duck, putting his own name on the
product. Later the duck fabric was dropped as consumers found denim more
comfortable, particularly after washing creating the faded bloom on the indigo
blue dyeing that we all love. Eventually in the 1950s people asked for denim
jeans or just as often - Levi's jeans rather than waist overalls. Other
manufacturers began to produce jeans and other brand names such as Lee
Coopers and Wranglers also became famous. Each brand is renowned for
having a particular cut.
Jeans fashion history was truly made in the 1950s when film stars wore it
in movies that the teenagers of the day followed with avid interest. For many
years jeans were only used as work wear clothes, but by the 1940s they were
considered leisure wear in America. Once pop and film stars like Elvis Presley,
James Dean, and Marlon Brando sported them they became desirable
internationally in the 1950s and are associated with rock and roll and pop music.
Later in the 1960s, jean brands old and new were worn universally in the western
world.
Levi 501s
The most famous jeans are still probably those produced by Levi as Levi
501s. Pre shrunk jeans had been introduced in the 1960s. 501s traditional button
fly jeans designed in the Victorian era need to be shrunk to fit. They were a huge
hit again in the 1980s when reintroduced to a new generation.
In a television advertisement Nick Kamen removed his jeans and stripped
to his underpants at a launderette. He proceeded to launder the jeans making
them 'shrink to fit' to the music of Marvin Gaye's 'I heard it through the grapevine'.
Kamen helped make them into a new fashion item for a new generation with the
link to sexual allure.
Designer Jeans
By the 1980s ripped, frayed and torn jeans were a normal sight. Coloured
jeans from white through to pastels were also popular as were stonewashed blue
jeans. In the 80s, designer jeans with names like Gloria Vanderbilt, Calvin Klein
and Armani among so many fashion designers, became the designer label jeans
to be seen in. Stone washed jeans became a must. By the 1990s black jeans
were very popular for a while and jeans in general were seen a lot in the early
1990s. But shades of blue are always loved and sometimes the darkest shade is
high fashion and sometimes the most washed out faded pairs become the
hottest. Coloured jean of all shades made an appearance.
In 2000 designers were crystal beading and silver or gold spraying jeans
amid tears, frayed slashes, fur and feather decoration. Denim was hot yet again
and used to make everything from footwear, jackets, bags, basque corsets to
jewelled cuffs.
Lycra in Jeans
The 1990s saw some changes such as denim with an added percentage
of Lycra to enhance fit and comfort. Jeans most definitely here to stay, as 50% of
us under 60 like to wear them, easily prefer them to combat trousers, which are
now considered very passé. Jeans with Lycra are so much more comfortable.
They fit and cling around the buttocks in a way that accommodates less than
perfect figures.

SUMMARY
Conclusion: -
To under go the research work, the researcher has reviewed the following literature
5. Web site.
The study has helped us to understand the consumers, who are brand
specific and those who are not and attitudes of respondents towards Jeans.
This study shows us that only 45% of respondents are brand specific,
more then 50% of market consists of frequent brand shifters, there is competition
in between the brands to attract new consumers towards the brands. This shows
that Quality, Price, consumer responsiveness, creativity, advertisements,
distribution channels, sales promotions etc are having there own impact on
attracting consumers towards brands, so it is very important to the marketer to
consider all these factors before introducing the product in to the market
With this study it is known that nearly 50% of consumers prefer quality of
the product followed by Price, comfort, brand image, look, fabric etc this tells us
that every consumer will have his own expectations in the products so to became
a success full brand in the competitive market the product should balance with all
these factors to satisfy the needs of various segments of the market.
SUGGESTIONS: -
Some of the brands are not easily available at all the places
required by consumers so it may be required to increase the outlets.
