Abstract
In this study, air permeability, water vapor permeability and wicking properties of certain woven fabrics, which are important comfort properties for clothes and garments, have been investigated. The effects of raw material 9modal, Lyocell), weave pattern 9plain, 2/2 twill, 1/3 twill, 2/2 matt) and weft yarn density 918, 22, 26) on these properties have been analysed graphically and statistically.
