【 摘 要 】

This research investigated the tactile sensory analysis of total handle in a range of wool-type fabrics. Considering the interaction of textile materials from garments with the consumer's senses as an essential performance property, seven wool-type fabrics selected as suitable for the final use, which is women office trousers for the cold season, were evaluated by a panel with non-experts for assessing the Total Handle Value. Experiments were conducted in two successive stages: by the individual panelists (as blind handling) and by the panel of assessors for consensus (visualization-with-handling). Previously developed ICT-based learning tools, STAT-Hand and STAT-ConCor, were used for both, the sensory analysis trials accomplishment and the processing of the total handle results. One outcome was that a panel of non-experts can get a good enough degree of agreement among individuals after the blind handling of a range of fabrics and, statistically, this cannot be considered accidental. The result of the consensus reaching on a panel level, through visualization and handling, about the Total Handle Value was not as good as expected and this was argued in the paper. After the blind handling, within the panel of individuals and visualization with handling as a panel consensus, the most proper fabric for women office trousers for the cold season was emphasized from the selected range.
