Abstract

Conventional fabrics, in general had limitations in fulfilling the comfort characteristics of a sportswear; hence an attempt has been made and developed a three layered fabrics, which possess enhanced comfort characteristics suitable for the sportswear. The Wickability, Air Permeability, Water Vapour Permeability, Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Resistance characteristics which influences the comfort characteristics have been tested and critically analysed. Three layered fabrics were developed using the three different warp layers such as Lyocell as Inner layer, Cotton as middle layer and Polyester as outer layer and three varieties of three layered fabrics were developed by using cotton, polyester and Elastane as weft materials and keeping warp layers same for all the fabrics. These developed three varieties of the three layered fabrics were coded and their comfort characteristics were tested and analysed in details.
