An experimental study of comfort properties about polyester/wool woven fabrics with KES-F system

Clothing comfort simply means that feeling comfortable within the clothes also being not affected phychologically and physically by the clothes under any circumstances.The factors that determine the comfort and aesthetics properties of a textile product are the physical and mechanical features of the fabrics. In the fact of that these comfort properties should be measured objectively, repeatable and should be given numerically. As a result of this, the relationship between the physical and sensory properties of the fabric should be measurable and be based on numerical values. For achieving this purpose various measurement methods have been developed and one of the most important and detailed method is Kawabata Fabric Evaluatíon (KES-F) System.In this study, first the details of Kawabata Evoluation System devices described, then with the Kawabata Evaluation System test methods, different densities of comfort properties of leno weaved fabrics, Poliester (PES)/Wool /WO) blend fabrics analyzed and finally this test results evaluated.Key Words: Clothing Comfort, Kawabata, Woven fabric, Poliester, Wool
