Mechanical indexes, including tension, shearing, bending, compression, and surface friction characteristics, for the two super-fine-sheep wool gabardine fabrics which are treated by calendering finish or not in a low stress were obtained by using Kawabata’s Evaluation System (KES-FB-AUTO-A). Results showed that different fabrics have their own style characteristics. Calendering finish can endow a thin wool gabardine fabric high count fabric with a better style characteristic. However, it will also affect the sewability of fabric when it is made to be a garment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
