    CLOTHING COMFORT

    DEFINITION

     There are a number of definitions of clothing comfort


    coined by researchers and scholars.

     “Comfort is defined as the absence of perceived


    pain- and discomfort as taught by Prof. Lubos Hes.

     Mine et al. (2009) explain “Clothing comfort is a state


    of satisfaction indicating physiological, psychological
    and physical balance among the person”.
    INTRODUCTION

     Clothing is one of the fundamental needs of the


    human being.
     It serves various and diverse purposes.
     Clothing selection is based on the needs and desires
    of the people.
     It may be to satisfy some aesthetic needs or to fulfil
    any particular demand of human being.
     People’s selection of clothing depends upon their
    perception and feeling about the clothing.
     In some cases it is recommended to wear certain
    clothing and selection is not possible, for example
    dress of a fire fighter, military uniform, etc.

     However, it is very common that there is a


    dynamic and fundamental changes in the
    preferences of people with the change in the
    context; season, climate, age, type of activity, etc.
     It is highly linked with the core requirement why a
    person is wearing any particular clothing.

     Moreover, clothing requirements are rather different


    depending upon the type of activities of any person.

     However, comfort is a basic and introductory


    prerequisite of the people in all situations and is
    considered a threshold in selecting the clothing.
     Comfort is difficult to explain since it is a complex and
    interdependent combination of physical, psychological
    and sensorial perceptions and highly depends of
    subjective evaluation of the individuals.

     It is not possible that comfort level of every one sitting in an


    office could be same, even temperature, air velocity and
    other parameters, which they are experience are same
    and comparable, even then comfort sensation is quite
    diverse.
     However if more than 80% people feel comfort, then
    it can be said that such environment provides a
    comfort (ISO). Same is the case with clothing
    comfort.
     Clothing comfort parameters, all three;
    physiological, psychological and sensorial are now
    market tools. More over people are also considering
    the ecology.
     comfort depends on many factors such as:

    › The temperature of the environment,


    › The relative humidity,
    › The wind velocity,
    › The metabolism of the wearer and, of course,
    › The characteristics of the clothing materials,
     e.g. materials’ thermal comfort properties, which display their
    abilities to transport heat and moisture from the human body’s
    surface into the environment.
     The measuring values that reflect this ability are clothing’s
    thermal resistance or thermal insulation, and water vapour
    resistance.

     Many other factors such as colour, fashion, a person’s


    physical and psychological state also influence the feeling of
    comfort (Mecheels, 1998 as cited by Celcar; Meinander
    andGersˇ, 2008).
    There are three broad categories of comfort;

     Psychological,
     Sensorial and
     Physiological
     Psychological comfort:
