Figure 1. Measuring unit on a piece of fabric [11] To carry out this evaluation, some parameters of 100% wool worsted mens suitings were measured objectively and subjective tests were performed by using the same fabrics. Besides roughness measurements, tensile and shearing properties were measured by using Instron Tensile Tester. Extracting from a nozzle tests were also performed by Instron. Fabric bending properties, fabric thickness and also fabric unit weight were also measured. An
expert panel assessed stiffness, thickness, roughness and total handle of fabrics for the subjective part and a total handle value was calculated by using these data. Spearman correlation analyses were carried out to examine the relations between subjective and objective roughness test results, and to select the most associated roughness parameters with subjective tests. Among other objective parameters, these selected roughness characteristics were used to predict fabric handle. Consequently, some regression equations were obtained that may be a practical solution for fabric handle predictions. Keywords: fabric handle, fabric roughness, suitings. References [1] Kawabata, S.
