THE ANALYSIS CONSTRUCTION PREPARATION OF WOMEN’S PANTS AND PROPERTIES WOVEN FABRIC IMPORTANT FOR COMFORT OF CLOTHES

Abstract

In this paper was analysed the tasks of construction preparation in the production of women’s pants and the properties of woven fabrics, which affect the thermophysiological and ergonomic comfort. Five different models were observed, which have different cutting lines at the front and back of the sock, different pockets and other details. The duration of construction preparation work in the conventional method and application of CAD system OptiTex were analysed. The ergonomic comfort of the tested models was subjectively evaluated in six differnt body positions, and the results were presented as mean with a number on a scale of 1 to 5. Seven woven fabric samples were used of same composition cotton 67 % and polyester 33 %, the same weave of canvas-rips. The correlatio of structural parameters was analysed: woven fabric density, warp and weft density, with material characteristics that are essential for thermophysiological comfort - air permeability and power of water absorption. It was noticed an increase air permeability, with a decrease in the density of the woven fabric, in most of the samples tested. This is explained by the existence of larger chamber in the structure of the lower density woven fabrics. With decreasing woven fabric density there is a tendency to slightly increase the power of water absorption.
