Comfortable garment

A true test of custom fit should be a direct correlation between the 3D body, the pattern geometry and the fabric parameters. Better fitting comfortable garments, which enhance well-being and self-esteem, will improve recovery times. 

Another example of a comfortable garment is made from microencapsulated PCMs, packed into a space between two fabric layers in order to produce a garment with passive, regenerative thermal protection. The garment offers improved comfort due to not only enhanced thermal control but also by enabling the transport of humidity through the PCM layer and away from the body. 

Raw materials of chemical fibers are from both namral sources like cellulose and protein, and from coal, gas, and fossil oil. With deepening understanding of the nature of fiber, people need some new fibers to meet their requirement of high-quality and comfortable garments and clothes then so-called high Kansei fibers come to the new stage, and the Shin-Gosen play an important role. 

Comfort. In the past, the evaluation of fabric or garment comfort has been a subjective process influenced by such variables as temperature, insulating efficiency, moisture absorption, drying speed, softness, bulk, fabric constmction, and air permeability. Human factors must also be considered. 

In recent years, the use of cotton in garments has witnessed a revival. The higher comfort level of cotton fabric as compared to man-made fibers tilts the balance of customer favor towards cotton as the basic fiber in clothes. After many wash cycles, however, both the appearance and the soft feel of the cotton fabric are lost the surface appears bland and the fabric touch has turned rough. This roughness stems at least in part from loose ends of cotton fibers which have separated from the bulk fabric and stick out on the surface. To combat this phenomenon termed pilling, cellulases have been developed to preserve both the appearance and feel of cotton fabric during washing. 

Stretchable garments usually contain no more than 20% to 25% spandex.The elastic fiber can be blended with many other fibers, including cotton, wool, silk, or synthetics to produce the final fabric. Spandex continues to find new uses, including door panels for automobiles, upholstered furniture, and more comfortable leather shoes. 

Thermal comfort exists if the human body is in thermal equilibrium with its environment, implying a constant temperature of the body. Comfort is mainly determined by the construction of a garment, in particular by its thermal insulation and by moisture transfer. 

Other fabric properties that are enhanced by soil-release finishes include protection from soil redeposition during laundering and absorbency or transport of liquid water. Fabrics with increased absorbency provide garments that feel more comfortable under hot, humid conditions, thus leading the name comfort finish that has often been applied to fabrics treated with soil-release agents. 

Gives all water-repelled garments that "Soft as Silk" feeling of comfort. 

Wearing comfort is another area where nitrile-water interactions are of utmost importance. Wearing comfort requires — among other things — easy wetting of, and good moisture transport within, the fabric or knit used for the manufacture of a garment. Body moisture should be absorbed rapidly and steadily, and transported... 

As was typical of the crypts in which the medieval French nobility were laid to rest, Amegunde s tomb was lavishly furnished with precious objects. Gold coins, rich jewellery, and costly garments were all interred with the dead to guarantee that they would enjoy as comfortable a life in the next world as that from which their souls had just departed. 

In case of personal protective fabrics, the bulk of ACF-based garments often results in thermal discomfort and physiological burden to the wearer. Therefore, it is necessary to create less bulky ACFs for enhanced physical comfort in chemical protective suits (Wilusz 2007). In order to achieve maximum protection and reasonable comfort, novel fabric ensembles with or without ACFs are necessary (Wilusz 2007 Gurudatt et al. 1997). An alternative approach to the use of ACFs for chemical protection is the use of functionalized selectively permeable membranes (Wilusz 2007). 

SPMs can now be found in commercial markets and specialty clothing due to their lightweight structure, liquid and aerosol repellent properties, and facilitation of moisture vapor transport. However, for military use, SPMs have limitations (Wilusz 2007). SPMs may act as liquid-repellents but may allow vapors to pass and therefore need an activated carbon layer to add extra protection capabilities. Moreover, military garments experience tremendous stress on a day-to-day basis. SPM-based ensembles are more susceptible to tearing as compared to activated carbon-based textile fabrics (Wilusz 2007). Optimizing the permselectivity of the membrane by surface modification or other such techniques is necessary to achieve a balance between comfort (e.g., moisture vapor transmission) and chemical vapor barrier properties. Furthermore, SPMs or membrane-carbon ensembles must possess acceptable mechanical strength to sustain daily military operations.
