Abstract
In order to evaluate fabric style better, 20 down jacket fabrics of different types (material, structure, warp and weft density, surface texture) were selected for a variety of sensory style evaluations, including touch, vision and auditory sense, so as to understand the characteristics and quality of the fabrics more comprehensively. Based on the principal component analysis of 16 indexes obtained by the comprehensive handle evaluation system for fabrics and yarns (CHES-FY test), five principal components and comprehensive handle evaluation models were obtained. Various sensorial analyses were used to explore the relationship between tactile style, visual style, and auditory style. In order to combine the tactile, visual, and auditory styles to evaluate fabrics, a multi-sensory style evaluation instrument was developed based on the CHES-FY system. The results showed that there was significant correlation among the three sensory style indicators. By comparing the results obtained from the multi-sensory style evaluation instrument with other instruments, it was concluded that this instrument can simply evaluate the fabric style, combine the three senses of vision, touch, and hearing, provide a variety of combination information, enhance the availability of the instrument, and provide a new idea for the design of the fabric style evaluation instruments.
