The Study on Comprehensive Comfort Property of Knit Underwear
Comfort is one of the most important attributes demanded by modern clothing consumers. It reflects the psychological feeling of a wearer, featured by three latent independent sensory factors: thermal comfort, tactile comfort, and psychological comfort. This paper presents a detailed discussion of the mechanisms influencing different variables on the basis of the comprehensive comfort properties of 12 commercial types of underwear materials collected from different sources with various fiber content, blend composition, fabric weave at 21±2 and ℃ humidity,65±3％. The relationships between thermal, moisture and tightness were also discussed in this paper. Results generated include thermal conductivity, air permeability and moisture permeability since it is well established that the movement of heat, moisture and air through a fabric are the major factors governing clothing comprehensive comfort. The initiated research is intended to enable a quantitative analysis of the comfort properties of underwear fabrics currently in use. A predictable model of overall comfort was developed using mainly sensory factors. The results will help establish comfort levels for a wide range of fabric types and assist in fabric selection during underwear product development.
