Abstract
Nowadays people’s requirement about garment comfort is improved. Pressure comfort has been an important part of garment comfort. The structure and performance of knitting fabrics are changed after they are made into clothes with different pressure. The measurement of garment pressure is difficult, but the measurement of fabric performance is easier. So the relationship between fabric performance and pressure comfort is studied in this paper. 8 kinds of knitting fabrics are selected to measure mechanical performance of fabric, such as flexible performance, cut performance, bend performance, compress performance and interface performance. Fabric pressure simulation apparatus is used to simulate fabric pressure variation on elbow and knee. And the pressure is measured and recorded during the deformation of fabric. Same eight kinds of knitting fabrics are used to make basic-style knitwear. The pressure is measured by mannequin pressure testing system
