Description

Clothing comfort is one of the most important attributes of textile materials. This book starts with an introduction to clothing comfort discussing comfort and the wearer’s attitude, and human–clothing interactions. Chapters go on to discuss related aspects including psychology and comfort, neurophysiological processes in clothing comfort, tactile aspects, thermal and moisture transmission, and garment fit. Science in clothing comfort is an essential reference for fibre, fabric and clothing manufacturers alike.
