Comparative of clothing comfort: A PhD thesis worth to read:
Functional Clothing Layers
Functional Clothing Layers
We recommend using 3 Layers model for wearing functional clothes: 
- First-Base-Layer is the most important. It transports moisture from skin to external layers so the body remains dry.
- Second-Mid-Layer is designed to be used on top of the base layer garment. The Second-Layer insulates the warmth and will continue the moist transportation from the base layer to the Third-Layer.
- Third-Layer transmits air, protects from wind and external dampness.

Dressing with Ease, Style and Comfort for patients
Dressing with Ease, Style and Comfort
"Dressing and undressing are often challenging task among people with limited mobility. While buttons and zippers are frustrating for some folks, others may find reaching arms through armholes of putting legs through leg holes tedious chores. Besides the obstacles people face for dressing independently, it is not always easy for their assistants. Wearing accessible clothes and selecting attire to meet individual needs will make dressing easier, sparing unnecessary aggravation and fatigue" .....

Abstract
"Fabrics are often subject to repeated creasing and bending deformations, such as elbow movements, and the resilience of crease recovery is an important property that affects fabric’s serviceability. In this research, nine types of woven fabrics were examined on an automated crease recovery tester repetitively to investigate the crease recovery behaviors, and possible factors affecting the creasing resilience. Each specimen was pressed and its recovery process was recorded by sequential images, which allowed the recovery angle to be calculated in real-time. This process was repeated 30 times for the same specimen. The parameters, such as initial angular velocity, instant recovery time and angle, stable recovery time and angle, were extracted from the recovery curve of each cycle, and calculate the differences between different cycles to characterize the changes of crease recovery in repeated tests. The experimental results show that the more the circulating test conducts, the earlier the instant and stable recovery time appear. The stable recovery angles decrease rapidly in the first few cycles, fall more slowly when the testing cycle increases, and finally become stable at a cycle near the 25th cycle. Cotton fabrics take fewer cycles to reach steady than wool fabrics. The high elasticity of polyester fibers affects the resilience remarkably."Wednesday, 19 November 2014

The Six Basic Factors
The Six Basic Factors
"The most commonly used indicator of thermal comfort is air temperature – it is easy to use and most people can relate to it. But although it is an important indicator to take into account, air temperature alone is neither a valid nor an accurate indicator of thermal comfort or thermal stress. Air temperature should always be considered in relation to other environmental and personal factors.
The six factors affecting thermal comfort are both environmental and personal. These factors may be independent of each other, but together contribute to a worker’s thermal comfort."The Six Basic Factors

Optimization of fast-fashion apparel transshipment among retailers

Abstract
"This paper studies the fast-fashion apparel transshipment problem (FATP) among allied retailers. The FATP belongs to the category of practical many–to–many transportation models and has distinct features: the flow out of and the flow into a retailer are restricted by the estimated sales volume in the next time period, the shortage of stock and excess stock for fast-fashion apparel sales all yield penalty costs and the alliance aims to maximize the profit for the retailers as a whole. Therefore, developing an optimal transshipment solution method is important for the alliance. This paper devises mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models for the FATP. The stock levels, the estimated distribution of sales for the next decision period, the unit penalty costs for a shortage of stock or excess stock and the unit cost of transshipment are parameters that control the flows among retailers. A decision-support system (DSS) was designed based on the model for transshipment management. Experiments were performed to demonstrate the transshipment solutions and reveal the effects of parameters on the solutions for a real-world case. Some tuning methods are designed to assist the decisions of the retailer alliance. The FATP is addressed for fast-fashion apparel sales in the context of an alliance for alleviating the risk of dead stock; the FATP is also a new transportation problem with uncertain supply and demand. The proposed method is a theoretical basis for designing a practical DSS for allied fast-fashion apparel retailers."http://trj.sagepub.com/content/84/20/2127.abstract

THE MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF CLOTHING COMFORT: A CASE STUDY FOR TURKEY
A book having much information about clothing comfort
ABSTRACT
"Consumers prefer garments that not only look good but also feel good especially during the last years because of their increased consciousness about a better life. Therefore, there have been many studies about subjective evaluation techniques such as subjective wear trials and consumer research techniques to understand how consumers perceive clothing and formulate their comfort perceptions at any specific moment. In this study, the meaning and importance of clothing comfort and main comfort problems according to a group of Turkish consumers having different properties were determined by a questionnaire survey study. Analysis of the results indicated that, garment fit and comfort were the most important criteria for the investigated group during purchase decisions and nearly all of the respondents considered clothing comfort as more important than before. The basic comfort problems of people were mostly related to ease of movement, sweating and garment fit. This study is a preparation stage for wear trials that will constitute the subjective part of a comfort evaluation method to be developed." ...more
