Abstract

An apparatus made to measure fabric crease resistance and to study the form (profile) of suit sleeve under different conditions is described. Three regular shapes were assumed for representing the sleeve profile of suit such as sine, zig-zag and trapezoid profiles. It is deduced that the form (profile) of suit sleeve during wear can be expressed mathematically by the equation of a trapezoid profile when the diameter ratio between the arm and the sleeve is within a certain range (0.8). The experimental profile is found to be reasonably close to the theoretical regular profile of trapezoid. The theoretical profile (form) can be predicited the fabric crease resistance, the amplitude of wave and the wave length are known. A projection method is used to calculate the wave amplitude of the different fabrics.
