Denim is no more “work wear’’ in the present era. More than a need, it is a fashion commodity for every age group, specifically for youth. Garments with multiple permutations and combinations of denim fabric variables like fibers, yarns, and Lycra % and weaving techniques are available with differing garment design statements, but the comfort aspect is slightly ignored. To cater for the masses living in hot and humid areas, a denim fabric is being projected with varying garment constructional parameters. Regenerated cellulose-based fibers/yarns are considered as ecofriendly, cool, soft, fairly strong, and durable among other man-made and natural fiber-based yarns. The present study is an attempt to develop comfortable denim clothing using regenerated cellulose fiber derivatives, maintaining its traditional rustic look for tropical regions. Fabric performance evaluation methods were used to ascertain the performance of the newly developed clothing.

Certain investigations on the thermophysiological and tactile comfort properties of silk/lyocell blended fabrics have been carried out. A series of yarns were produced as 100% silk (S 100), 75% silk and 25% lyocell (S/L 75:25), 50% silk and 50% lyocell (S/L 50:50), 25% silk and 75% lyocell (S/L 25:75) and 100% lyocell (L 100) and converted to woven fabrics keeping the same fabric set. FTIR study on silk, lyocell and silk/lyocell blended fabrics show the characteristic functional groups for the respective fabrics. The effects of blend compositions on thermophysiological and tactile comfort properties were examined and the results show that thermal resistance of the fabrics containing silk has a higher value in comparison with lyocell-rich blends. Water vapour permeability, absorbency and wickability for lyocell and lyocell-rich blends are found to be superior as compared to 100% silk fabrics. With respect to drape, bending length and crease recovery the lyocell rich fabrics are good in comparison with 100% silk fabrics. The results are discussed using one way ANOVA with 5% significant level.

“…Parameters that affect the comfort characteristics of fabrics have been studied by many researchers. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The clothing comfort depending on these parameters is evaluated within the clothing physiology. [10][11][12] The aim of the science of clothing physiology is to create rules for clothing design and production which will not affect the comfort and working efficiency of the person negatively and even contribute to the healing, taking into consideration the fashion and sales parameters.…”

The aim of this study is to reach closer results to the actual measurements by using artificial neural networks in evaluating the properties of single and double layer woven fabrics that affect the end user. The variation of the most important parameters such as breaking strength, weight, thickness, tearing strength properties to meet the end user's needs depending on the yarn count and the weaving type was investigated. In the fabrics produced in this study, cotton yarn was used as weft yarn in three different numbers and 90 denier polyester yarns were used as warp yarn. Plain, twill, panama, warp rips and satin were used as weaving type. Fabrics were weaved in three different weft frequencies. Evaluations using artificial neural networks were found to give closer results to the actual measurements.Citation: Turker E, Turan NY.
