Tender Touch Of Apparels

So far it can be said that comfort of apparels has not been objectively expressed, although it can be recognised through experiences of a person. Comfort is purely a subjective criterion. However, it can be quantified in an objective manner in terms of the properties of non-sensorial comfort characteristics. Satisfactory thermal equilibrium and efficient moisture management are the two most important comfort criteria in the apparel of twenty first century. Both the sensorial and non-sensorial fabric comfort depends on various factors including the type of the material, method of construction of textile substrate, feeling of the wearer, impacts due to climatic condition of the environment and its variation. Comfort can also be imparted depending on the end use of the apparel by appropriate finishing treatments to the fabric. As the evaluation of comfort depends on the handling of fabrics which is a frictional phenomenon, lot of research and studies are currently carrying out on the surface properties of fibers, yarns and fabrics.
