The clothing manufacturing industry is an important user of the products of the dyeing and finishing industry. Major advances in Japan have shown that the use of mechanical property data can assist the dyer and finisher in providing products that are sufficiently consistent for their efficient conversion into clothes. The Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES–F) can be used to provide appropriate information of use for quality control, product development and product specification. Current uses and applications are discussed.
