Description

A41H encompasses appliances, devices, and methods for manufacturing, altering, or constructing clothing and garments that do not fall within other specialized tailoring or apparel-making classifications. This includes tools, machines, and techniques used in dress-making, tailoring, and general garment assembly, such as pattern-making equipment, fitting devices, and garment construction aids. The classification serves as a residual category for dress-making and tailoring technologies not specifically covered by other A41 subclasses dedicated to particular garment types or specialized manufacturing processes.
