In this article, an experimental work is presented to evaluate the sensorial properties of polyester fabric constructed bynano-filament yarn. For this purpose Nano Filament polyester fabric was fabricated and compared with the spunpolyester/cotton (PC) and polyester/viscose (PV) blended fabric by using Kawabata evaluation system (KES-system) toassess the handle of the fabric based on mechanical characteristic. The results revealed that the fabric made from PCand PV blended fabric were stiffer than nano-filament polyester fabric. The higher hand value (THV) resulted in lowerstiffness (Koshi), and higher smoothness (Numeri) and fullness (Fukurami).Hand values of PV blended fabric were closeto nano-filament polyester fabric rather than PC fabric. The overall results of tensile, shearing, bending, compressionand surface characteristics of nano-filament polyester fabric were found best as compared to PC and PV blended fabric.
