ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at the objective evaluation system of fabric hand. There are two types of clothing fabric performance. One type is utility performance, such as strength, color durability and shrinkage resistance. The second factor of fabric quality-type performance factors is related to the idea of “better fit” to the human body and is also an essential requirement in clothing material. Worsted fabrics are traditionally a major material used in suits due to a preference for wool from the standpoint of suit quality. The hand of a suit is traditionally based on the hand of worsted fabrics, and precise criteria have been derived from the worsted-base fabrics. Surface geometrical smoothness and frictional smoothness are measured. The rough surface of the fingerprint shape is sensitive to fabric surface roughness. For the geometrical smoothness sensor, a single wire of the same diameter is used to measure geometry more accurately.
