Tensile and elastic properties
Tensile and elastic properties of shell fabrics affect the properties of stabilized garment parts as well as their compatibility with the interlining.
Bending
Shell fabric and interlining with the right bending properties will guarantee the correct appearance and fall of stabilized garment parts.
Shearing and surface properties
As one of the first things a buyer does when purchasing a garment, he or she touches the fabric to evaluate how the fabric will perform. The characteristics of textile surfaces, either determined visually or by subjective estimation of a handle, determine the quality of fused garment parts. Wearers expect comfortable and smooth surfaces, especially in the collar, cuffs, and wristband points where they touch their skin. Physical attributes like thickness, surface friction, compressibility, and stiffness of the shell fabric and its interlining are important and influence comfort levels.
Fabric handle and drape of the garment
Fabric handles like softness, plainness, or rigidity affect the psychological perception of a fabric's character. Textiles have different mechanical properties depending on how they are constructed. The fabric's mechanical and physical properties are necessary to define it, and it is measurable.
