The increasing concern about the environment has enhanced the utilization of sustainable products in every field of life, from common household items to fabrics. Although cotton is a plant-based fiber, its cultivation requires large amounts of water and pesticides. Therefore, the future of product development demands environmental friendliness. To overcome the problems of cotton related to the environment, a novel sustainable fabric was developed by using Tencel and jute fiber for the apparel industry to reduce the usage of cotton. In this current study, six blended yarns of two counts (10 & 20 Ne) of Tencel and jute (90:10, 80:20, and 70:30) were developed by ring spinning to weave fabric in two weave designs (Plain & Twill). These developed fabrics were assessed for mechanical, comfort, and hand properties. The results revealed that the blended fabric with a high content of Tencel is good in terms of mechanical, comfort, and hand properties, except for stiffness, pilling resistance, resilience, and drapeability. Additionally, fabric woven with a fine yarn count is also good in the above-stated properties, except for stiffness, resilience, and wrinkle recovery. However, fabrics woven with a twill weave design have good comfort and hand properties, except for smoothness and drapability. On the other hand, fabric with a plain weave design is good in terms of mechanical properties, except for tear strength. The comparison of TJ blended fabric with PC blended fabric shows that the tensile strength, air permeability and OMMC of JT blended fabric is 8.31%, 96%, and 29.46% higher than PC blended fabric but tear strength is 99% less. Furthermore, statistical analysis was performed to check the effect of the input variables on the response factors, and it was found that the effect of yarn count on all output responses is statistically the most significant.

“…Some papers report the effect of protective clothing on wear comfort [12,13]. They are emphasis on improving the protective fabric`s resistance with better comfort properties [14] such us permeability, moisture management and thermal resistance. Thermal comfort is one of the essential components of motorcyclist wear.…”

In recent years motorcycling becomes more and more popular. It is known that even in relatively warm weather, moving air is cooler and constant exposure to wind when riding may cause a chilling effect that leads to hypothermia. Motorcyclists may lose the ability to concentrate and react on changing traffic conditions when they have hypothermia. We propose the use of electric heating elements in the jacket so that motorcyclist comforts increase. This element receives the energy from the worked engine of the motorcycle. It is located between the two fabrics layers (top and lining) and is made of nichrome wire. The heating is carried out by connecting this element with the power supply system of the motorcycle. In research, we use two types of packages that differ by top fabrics and two connection circuits. The studies were carried out in three different environmental conditions (air temperature, wind speed, and air humidity). Standard test methods were used for performance testing. The effectiveness of electric heating elements used in underwear space for increasing the thermal properties of motorcyclist clothing is proven. It was established that the use of an electric heating element is effective only with a thermocontroller in the electrical circuit. The results of our investigation confirmed the effectiveness of electric heating elements being used in motorcyclist jackets.
