Abstract
An objective screening technique for fabric handle is presented. This method is based on the use of a simple device fitted to a tensile testing machine, and measures the force generated while passing a fabric specimen through a ring. The method proved capable of detecting differences in fabric handle between comparable fabrics, as illustrated by studies on shirting fabrics, and on fabrics with functional finishes. The results were validated by comparison with measurements of fabric mechanical properties obtained from the KESF (Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics). The handle force measurement gives a summed single value result for fabric handle.
