Abstract

Mamluk costumes are one of the essential topics in the history of Arab-Islamic costumes and constitute an essential element of material heritage. There is a scarcity of Mamluk clothes preserved in museums and their limitation to scraps of those clothes. There is a scarcity of sources that deal with methods of preserving and maintaining Mamluk clothing, as well as methods for displaying it in museums and realistic pictures of Mamluk clothing for researchers and makers of historical dramas. The research follows the historical approach through historical references. The applied approach is through drawing the designs found in the manuscripts, drawing a three-dimensional and tangible picture of Mamluk clothing by extrapolating and deducing their shapes from illustrated historical sources such as manuscripts, using three-dimensional programs. The research tools that were used were a questionnaire form to judge the designs and the three-dimensional fashion design program CLO. The most important results were that the best simulation models implemented in military clothing models in achieving simulation of the general shape, technical analysis, and historical aspect are Model No. 5 Statistically significant differences were found between the specialists’ evaluation of the simulation models implemented in military clothing models in achieving simulation of the general shape, while the most miniature simulation models. Implemented in military clothing models to achieve the general shape and technical analysis of the models and the historical aspect is model number 8 among specialists’ evaluation of the simulation models implemented in military clothing models to achieve technical analysis of the models
