“…yarns with larger twist are characterized by the higher bending stiffness, less bulkiness, less compressibility, less fiber mobility, and lower surface friction than similar fabrics produced from yarns with the lower twist value [6]. Moreover, research proved that the plied yarns made of two or more single yarns twisted together are stiffer in comparison to the single yarns [12].…”

“…Another factor affecting the fabric handle is their finishing treatment [6,12,22]. High-speed scouring and milling create a fibrous surface and, at the same time, it changes the other properties of the fabric, particularly the shear rigidity and volume.…”

“…The values of 2HG and 2HG5 mean the hysteresis of shear force at 0.5° and 5°. The existence of shear hysteresis loop means that the deformed fabric cannot resume its original geometrical state [6]. Therefore, it is more advantageous that the value of 2HG and 2HG5 are lower.…”

The main purpose of this study is the selection of a proper fabric for the reference clothing for ergonomic tests of protective clothing. For research, seven fabric of different raw material content and different structure were chosen. We studied the handle of fabrics produced from blend of polyester/cotton and polyester/Tencel, which were designated by letters from A to G. The assessment of handle of the fabric was performed based on the mechanical properties of fabrics using Kawabata evaluation system (KES-system). It was proven that one of the tested fabrics (F) made of polyester and cotton fibers (85% PES / 15% cotton) with the reinforced twill weave is characterized by the highest total hand value (THV).The high THV results from the low value of koshi (stiffness) and the highest value of numeri (smoothness) and fukurami (fullness). However, in terms of physiological comfort, the lower value of fukurami is more preferred. It turned out that the fabric with the higher value of fukurami (including fabric F) is characterized by the lower air permeability and higher water vapor resistance. At the end, we decided that the reference clothing will be made of cotton/polyester fabric G with the lowest mass per square meter because of the very good physiological comfort parameters and the satisfactory sensorial comfort parameters.
