The purpose of the press- ing is to achieve a smooth appearance of the shell fabric and fl at and smooth seams. A group of woven fabrics with of fi ber composition 100% cotton, cotton/Lycra, 100% wool and blended wool/PES for production of men’s shirt and tailored garments were tested for seam pressing performance on a FAST 4 press test. The relationship of the seam crease angle after pressing with the fabric fi ber composition and fabric weight and end use. The substantial diff erence between fabric end use and seam pressing performance was analyzed. The fabrics of Wool/PES fabric composition have shown best seam crease performance out of all fabrics for tailored garments. Cotton/Lycra fab- rics have shown superior seam pressing performance compared to 100% cotton fabric for men’s shirt. Keywords: pressing performance, FASTpress-tester, crease pressing angle, woven fabric.
