“…We reviewed the literature and found that there is a lack of in-depth studies on the visual perception of fabric textures. There are studies on predicting the subjective feel of fabrics and the perception of fabric softness [27,28], a study on the subjective feel of leather in automobiles [29], and a study on the expression and verbalization of tactile feelings [30].…”

The texture of a fabric can be perceived by the haptic and visual senses. Visual texture can be defined as a visual quality of a surface. It is an important phenomenon because it can be significant in many fields, such as textile design and e-commerce. At the same time, when we consider the semantics of the word, it is important to take into account that there are a variety of manifestations of fabrics (e.g., woven, knitted, etc.). The mechanism of visual texture perception of fabrics was investigated by measuring visual evaluation values. In our experiment, 12 textile samples with different surface textures are evaluated using thirty-four adjectives (Kansei words). For each visual texture, the adjectives with the highest mean ratings are extracted and analyzed. By using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), we aimed to discover and determine preferences for the visual texture of fabrics. The result is a semantic explanation of fabric texture with the adjectives proposed, which can help customers to evaluate the quality of the textile.

“…For example, a protective coating can be added to the leather to prevent it from fading or becoming discolored over time. Additionally, some steering wheels may feature a perforated design that improves breathability and helps prevent moisture buildup, which can also extend the leather's lifespan [5][6][7].…”

The steering wheel is among the important components of a vehicle, through it having full control over its direction. It is made of a metal base covered with a polymeric material. To improve the look and feel of a steering wheel, usually it is covered by leather. Choosing the material for covering the steering wheel must be done responsibly, because depending on the material, it can generate a certain type of comfort when using the steering wheel. Thus, the current work aims to evaluate the durability and wear resistance of different types of leather coatings used in automotive steering wheels. A series of tests were performed on leather samples before and after exposing them to special conditions (high\low temperature, humidity, UV) like tensile strength and elongation, tear strength, tear load, surface softness, color fastness and flex resistance. All the tests were performed according to actual standards in ICPI accredited laboratory. The results of the experiment showed that the durability and wear resistance of the leather varied significantly depending on the type of coating. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the characteristics of different types of leather and can help future research involved in developing more durable and long-lasting steering wheel cover leathers.

“…After seeing a garment, sense of touch becomes equally important, and numerous studies on predicting the subjective feel of fabrics and the perception of fabric softness have been conducted, and they have shown that fabric feel and softness can be related to the compression and/ or smoothness and flexibility of fabrics, depending on the fabrics being handled and their end-uses [11][12][13][14].…”

All senses elicit emotional responses to goods, services, and the environment. They also play an important role in the process of fashion design and its evaluation. This research is a continuation of several preliminary studies we conducted online to define three attractive and three unattractive colors, textures, smells, sounds, and tastes. In the present study, a sample of textile engineering and fashion design students and experts (N = 54) assessed four groups of 6 fabric samples (sensory evaluators) selected based on the results of the preliminary studies. Each group of fabrics was assessed in one of four sensory modalities (except taste). Two semantic differentials were used to assess each sensory modality: attractive/unattractive and boring/interesting in the case of color, insensitive/sensitive in the case of texture, disturbing/calming in the case of sound, and cheap/luxurious in the case of smell. We found that among the fabrics in six different colors, the pink fabric was the most attractive. Of the six textures presented, the knitted rib texture was found to be the most attractive to touch. The scent of lemon essential oil was perceived as the most attractive among the six scents used, and the friction sound of suede leather was perceived as the most attractive among the six friction sounds of fabrics. Cluster analysis showed that the attractiveness of scents and colors of six fabric samples was highly differentiated and (almost) each sample was perceived as unique, while the attractiveness of the texture and sound of different samples was less differentiated and the samples were divided into only two groups. This suggests that discrimination of fabric attractiveness may be better in some sensory evaluators/modalities than in others. The results of this study will be useful for further research on the integration of different sensory modalities in fabric perception and garment preferences.
