HISTORY OF GARMENT INDUSTRY IN INDIA &n &ndia, the readymade industry is considered as off shot of own the industry, while dates back to the middle of the 1: th century with the introduction of )ewing machines by sewals this was no readymade garments industry worth the name till the down of independence. *ven though this particular industry had call for no e"traordinary skills of high relation to what might be e"pected in the content of the raw materials for that industry. After the >irst =orld =ar mans cloths was showed a curious reversion not to @ictorians but to *dwardian moves A lighter trousers, coat with buttoned higherB. #here was a passing cra2e for fancy waist coats, slacks. )ports shirts and 'ackets resulting battle dress together with a variety of sweaters became ordinary wear for many young men. &n the evening the coat almost entirely disappeared but the dinner 'ackets maintained the popularity. #he growth of readymade mens wear business in &ndia was very slow till the early 1:8Cs. #he main reason for this was that &ndia men were used to buying cloth and getting their outfits tailored mainly through local tailoring shops from the unorgani2ed segment. /onse!uently, there were no national level brands in this category for a long period. 9y the mid 1:8Cs however customer mindset seemed to have started changing gradually along with increasing urbani2ation, and changes in the social and economic status and lifestyle. Drowth of garment industry & terms of technology adoption, $>rom pedalE operated machines in the 6Cs, the industry moved on to power operated machines and steam presses in the midEs 8Cs and then entered the phase of using computeri2ed machines%. #he industry saw a rapid change with the introduction of computeri2ation in the garment industry. #he industry has to make radical improvements in t he areas of productivity, service and !uality to be able to e"ploit this potential. &t has to
convert its strengths into competitive edge, a growth oriented fiscal, policy, broadening of the ta" net, overall reduction of e"cise duty and establishment of /*-@A# throughout the value addition chain. T&$ H")tor' o% J$*n) .eans can be defined as any trousers or pants made from the denim fabric that came from -imes in >rance. 1;t& C$nt r' #he denim fabric was first made in /hieri, a small town near &taly, when it was made from a mi"ture of other material. #hese were first designed for the navy forces of Denoa, an independent republic and a naval power then, who re!uired multi purpose pants that could be easily fit into dry or wet and comfortably pulled up for smooth working on the decks of the ship and could be easily bleached with the sea water, overall becoming a complete utility. 1>t& C$nt r' At first, 'ean cloth was made from a mi"ture of things. <owever, in the 18th century as trade, slave labor, and cotton plantations increased, 'ean cloth was made completely from cotton. =orkers wore it because the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. &t was usually dyed with indigo, a dye taken from plants in the Americas and &ndia, which made 'ean cloth a dark blue color. 1?t& C$nt r' 18384 gold was found in /alifornia and the famous Dold Fush began. #he gold miners wanted clothes that were strong and did not tear easily.
185(4 a man named 0eob )trauss left his home in -ew Gork and moved to )an >rancisco, where he started a wholesale business, supplying clothes. )trauss later changed his name from 0eob to 0evi. A big problem with the minersH clothes were the pockets, which easily tore away from the 'eans. A man called .acob 1avis had the idea of using metal rives to hold the pockets and the 'eans together so that they wouldnHt tear. 1avis wanted to patent his idea, but he didnHt have enough money.
18724 1avis wrote to 0evi and offered )trauss a deal if he would pay for the patent. )trauss accepted, and he started making copperEriveted Iwaist overallsI as 'eans were called then. 187(4 #he first riveted clothing was made and sold 18864 0evi sewed a leather label on their 'eans. #he label showed a picture of a pair of 'eans that were being pulled between two horses. #his was to advertise how strong 0evi 'eans were4 even two horses could not tear them apart. 18:14 0evi )trauss J /o.Hs patent for riveted clothing goes public and do2ens of companies begin to use the idea. 1@t& C$nt r' 1:(CHs4 <ollywood made lots of western movies. cowboys, who often wore 'eans in the movies, became very popular. Many Americans who lived in the
1C
eastern states went for vacations on Idude ranchesI and took paris of denim Iwaist overallsI back east with them when they went home. 1:3CHs4 >ewer 'eans were made during the time of =orld =ar &&, but Iwaist overallsI were introduced to the world by American soldiers, who sometimes wore them when they were off duty. After the war, 0evi began to see their clothes outside the American =est. Fival companies, like =rangler and 0ee, began to compete with 0evi for a share of this new market. 1:5CHs4 1enim became popular with many young people. &t was the symbol of the teenage rebel in #@ programs and movies Alike .ames 1ean in the 1:55 movie Febel =ithout a /auseB. )ome schools in the ,)A banned students from wearing denim. #eenagers called the waist overalls I'ean pantsI and the name stayed. 1:6CHs4 Many university and college students wore 'eans. 1ifferent styles of 'eans were made, to match the 6CHs fashions Aembroidered 'eans, painted 'eans, psychedelic 'eansB. &n many nonEwestern countries, 'eans became a symbol of I=estern decadenceI and were very hard to get. ,) companies said that they often received letters from people all around the world asking them to send the writer a pair of 'eans. 1:7CHs4 As regulations on world trade became more rela"ed in the late 7CHs, 'eans started to be made more and more in sweatshops in countries in the )outh. 9ecause the workers were paid very little, 'eans became cheaper. More people in the countries of the )outh started wearing 'eans. 1:8CHs4 .eans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of 'eans, with their own labels on them. )ales of 'eans went up and up.
11
1::CHs4 &n the world wide recession of the 1::CHs, the sale of 'eans stopped growing. #he Gouth market wasnHt particularly interested in 5C1s and other traditional 'eans styles, mainly because their parents4 the generation born in IblueI were still busy s!uee2ing their aging bodies into them. )ince no teenager would be caught dead in anything their parents were wearing, the latest generation of rebellions youth turned to other fabrics and styles. #hey still wore denim, but it had to be in different finishes, new cuts, shapes, styles, or forms. .eans were named the Isingle most potent symbol of American style on planet earthI. In #o# .*r ! .t r$ /opper rivets for reinforcing pockets are a characteristic feature of blue 'eans .eans Aknown as dungarees by thenB, along with lightEblue stenciled cambric shirts, became part of the official working uniform of the ,nited )tates -avy in the 2Cth century prior to being replaced by the coveralls, utilities and, more recently, the blue and gray digitalEcamouflaged navy working uniform. #he midE2Cth century the trousers became 9ootEcut style to permit ventilation in the shipHs hotter working environments. #he same type of uniform consisting of 'eans and chambray tops was Aand still isB issued as prison uniforms in some correctional facilities mainly because of the durability and lowEmaintenance of denim.A popular e"ample of the use of denim as prison wear can be seen in the film Cool Hand Luke. =earing 'eans by teenagers and young adults became a symbol of youth rebellion during the 1:5Cs. 9ecause of this, they were sometimes banned in theaters, restaurants and schools.K5L
12
1uring the 1:6Cs the wearing of 'eans became more acceptable. 9y the 1:7Cs had become a general fashion in the ,nited )tates, at least for casual wear. -otably, in the midE1:7Cs the denim and te"tiles industry was revolutioni2ed by the introduction of the stoneEwashing techni!ue by D=D ADreat =estern Darment /o.B.. 1enim suddenly became an attractive product for all age groups.

25
Among the lower level brands, it would not be incorrect to say that commoditi2ation is gradually setting in. =ith shirts available in simple, solid shades O and not much of a difference in the !uality of the fabric O these brands ac!uire an air of sameness in the eyes of the consumer. <owever, as one scales up the price chain, differentiation kicks in O in the form of the !uality of fabric used, the kind of fit the garment provides or the sheer emphasis on the design of the garment itself. At price points in e"cess of Fs 1,5CC, the &ndian consumer has access to a garment that is truly international in styling, yet priced lower than its comparable international counterpart. =ith a surfeit of players staking a claim to a share of the consumerHs wallet, the industry has also seen brands being taken over by companies intending to offer a comprehensive range of garments to the consumer, straddling multiple price points. &ndian Fayon took over the brands of Madura /oats in &ndia a few years back, while Faymond stitched a deal with /olor ;lus. 0ikewise, 9ombay 1yeing and ;roline entered into a strategic agreement. As takeover provides the advantages of an established brand and an e"isting distribution network straightaway, companies looking at strengthening their position in the market would continue to look at takeovers to ac!uire brands that have a complementary fit with their e"isting offerings and to drive top line growth. +outon,s has around 1,3CC stores. &n the last one year , it has added aaaaat least 185 family stores .At last half of those stores were earlier smaller,1CCC s!. >t stores, but were e"panded into family stores of 3,CCC s!. >t each. #he company also shut down at least 185 unviable stores in the last fiscal. >or the !uarter ended 1ecember , +outon announce a net profit of Fs 1( /rores. &t has yet to announce its results for the financial year ended March .
