Redesign of the Uniform of the Municipal Guard of Londrina

This study is the result of an outreach project between the Civil Municipal Guard of Londrina (GCML) and the Fashion Design undergraduate program UTFPR-AP. The project was created after GCML asked the Fashion Design program to help improve the current uniform model, which has countless wearability, fit, pattern, comfort, and usability problems. To propose a new uniform model, the project team encompassing agents, professors, and students developed various actions over 2 years, especially developing an anthropometric table adequate to the municipal guard agents, studying textile material adequate for the uniform; ergonomic analysis of uniform wearer’s needs; developing datasheets adequate to the production of the uniforms; proposing adjustments in the uniform patterns; developing a technical design specifically for uniform production; suggesting models to update the current uniform of agents of the Municipal of Londrina; training agents to identify problems in the future uniforms acquired for the Guard. Hence, the article presents the uniform pattern created in the project, which is only one of the countless actions carried out in the project.
