“…Comparing the subjective ratings of itchiness obtained from wear trials with the mechanical properties measured objectively, Li (1988) [220] observed that perception of itchiness correlated with fiber diameter, fabric thickness at low and high pressures, and fabric surface roughness. [221] studied the stiffness of woven and non-woven fabrics by using both subjective assessment and objective measurements. Magnitude estimation was used to obtain the subjective responses.…”

“…For example, Elder (1984) used 20 students and staff from a university psychology department, Peak (1979) employed 6 people who was not specified background. Kawabata (1989) used 12 experts, but unconsciously or perhaps based on an assumption that experts should have a stable judgment on handling a fabric.…”

In this paper, the author applies the principle of information theory to probe the role that experience plays in the process of fabric hand evaluation. 8 experts and 8 non-experts, two group judges assessed 8 medium-weight worsted fabrics for men’s suiting. The results have been analysed. The data show that the expert group has the higher ability of handling instinct attributes of a fabric than the non-expert group do. In other words, the experts seem to be more sensitive to the change of fabric physical and mechanical properties than the non-experts. And when a expert assesses a fabric by hand, he introduces few subjective factors, that is to say, the result of the evaluation of touch quality of a fabric by a expert has higher objectivity or reliability. This may provide a fundamental or a train of thought for the objective assessment of fabric hand in textile science and technology.

“…Elder et al found that the drape coefficient could be used as a fabric handle parameter/index as it (DC) was correlated strongly with bending length and flexural rigidity which were considered as handle properties [88].…”
