High Quality Fabrics for Garments

Abstract Explains the origins of the development of the handle method, and lists the three criteria for predicting fabric quality. Shows how fabric handle evaluation is used, for example, handle analysis expresses characteristics and quality. Goes on to explain hand value and total hand value with the aid of equations and charts. Concludes that the textile technology must apply today's technologies to the production of higher grade fabrics – i.e. ideal fabrics.
