WeaveTech, formally known as Johnson-Ware is a military and security apparel company entering into the high-end performance clothing market. Before the acquisition by CVX Partners, WeaveTech which was formed in 1905, relied exclusively on the military (70%) and security (30%) customer base. The need to change the company’s customer base from military and security to high-end performance clothing market apparently arose from the allure of the later market segment and the dwindling growth of the military and security market (Beer & Swiercz, 2015). The departure of Jack Davidson, a retired US Navy Rear Admiral, and WeaveTech CEO from 1983 to 2012 in addition to the conclusion of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars meant that the traditional market was losing its reliability. Due to the unreliability, there was a need to redesign the customer base and to take advantage of the high-end market segment.

Everything you do is reflective of the Army, directly or indirectly and by being unprofessional – you are compromising the trust the organization has put in you. It is important to remain cognizant of the fact that regardless of who we are with or where we are – we bear the burden of being an ambassador of the Army and each of its values.
The Civil War, a defining time in the development of ready made clothing, brought about standardized sizes for men, and what drove this trend was the demand for uniforms. Each side in this war had tailors who would make them, but that was time consuming; therefore, a mass production of uniforms was needed. The author stated in paragraph one: “As the war continued […] manufacturers started to build factories that could quickly and efficiently meet the growing demands of the military.” And so, the people’s NEED for clothing that fit decently, was sturdy, and was available fairly quickly caused a demand for clothing production on a mass scale. This example of the relationship between supply and demand proves that what the people need has a direct influence on what kind of clothing is created, and HOW it is created.
