Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Leather clothing makers use leather materials to manufacture garments such as jackets, coats, pants, etc. They handle everything from cutting to sewing and finishing, creating products that combine design and functionality.
Description
Leather clothing makers cut leather based on product designs or patterns and sew it using sewing machines or by hand. They also attach linings, apply interlinings, install accessories such as buttons and zippers, perform final finishing processes and inspections, and manufacture high-quality clothing. In the production of luxury brand items or made-to-order products, precision and beauty in details are particularly required.
Future Outlook
While domestic demand for leather products remains stable, centered on high-value-added items, there is a shift toward overseas production. Domestically, demand is expected for small-batch, multi-variety made-to-order manufacturing and the high-end fashion market, and the skills of skilled craftsmen will continue to be valued.
