[35] These are some chemical finishes that change the surface characteristics: Most of the aesthetic properties of textile materials are subjective and determined by visual and tactile sensations.
[40] The system is equipped with standardised testing machines capable of objectively determining specific physical properties.
KES-F can be used to determine the fabric's roughness and smoothness, friction, sheerness, thickness, tensile strength, elasticity, drape, and compression, among other properties.
Users have five basic performance criteria to consider: appearance (aesthetics of the product), comfort, durability, maintenance, and cost.
[45][46][2]: 21 According to the consumer preference study, the appearance factor is considered one of the top priorities when making buying decisions about clothing.
