The handle and comfort properties of PV blended fabrics have been studied. The handle properties of the fabrics have been studied by measuring the low stress mechanical properties on Kawabata Evaluation System. The thermal comfort has been studied by measuring the air permeability, thermal insulation and moisture vapour transfer. The effect of polyester content, pick density and fabric direction on fabric tactile and thermal comfort have been studied. The fabrics with higher viscose content give better hand, higher air permeability and higher moisture vapour transfer but lower thermal insulation.
