Publisher Summary In spite of its importance, hand (or handle) remains, in most sectors of the industry, an inherently subjective characteristic of fabric and, as such, is affected by the whims and perceptions of the handler. Hand is used in the evaluation of fiber, yarn, fabric and garments, as well as finishing technology. It remains one of the key components of the perceived quality of fabrics and garments and, as such, is the source of commercial dispute, claim and counter-claim. Over several decades, hand, which has been elusive and a matter of fierce debate within the industry, has come under close scrutiny. In recent years, something approaching consensus has been reached in some sectors of the textile industry, not only on the nature of the sensations that make up hand, but also on the terminology that must be used to describe them and the techniques that can be used in their assessment. This chapter discusses the approaches that have been used to assess/ measure/determine hand and the methods that have been adopted to standardize subjective assessments of hand. It describes two of the techniques that have been developed to objectively measure the elusive fabric characteristic.
