Authors: Eric Beaudette (Cornell University) , Huiju Park (Cornell University)

Abstract

To objectively evaluate the thermal comfort properties of three typical seams used in sportswear construction (overlock seam, flatlock seam and adhesive seam), this study examined 1) physical properties of seams created by the three seaming methods in small-scale fabric samples, and 2) thermal properties of activewear bodysuit created by the three seaming methods through a series of thermal manikin test.
