Abstract
Purpose
To establish new measurement technologies in textiles and clothing.
Design/methodology/approach
Three areas are covered, diverse in methodology and approach: measurement of fabric mechanics, measurement of seam quality, and measurement of human size and shape.
Findings
Three new measurement technologies have been established.
Research limitations/implications
The mechanics are limited to the measurement of lightweight fabrics. The human measurement needs clear photographs.
Practical implications
All techniques can make measurement more accurate and efficient in all three areas.
Originality/value
All techniques are original and have a major contribution to textile and clothing science and technology.
