AB - This paper investigates the relationships between the fabric crease performance, seam retention and the low stress mechanical and constructional properties for a series of thirty-one suiting and trousering materials. A newly developed test method (IWTO draft test method)and instrumentation for evaluating the fabric crease performance was used to compare with the commercial steam pressing (Hoffman pressing). This newly test method was further modified for examining the seam retention properties. It has been shown that seam retention properties are significantly related to the fabric crease performance and are not affected by the different testing methods used and grain direction. In fact, the low stress mechanical properties of fabrics were not significantly related to either fabric crease performance and seam retention properties.
