Abstract
The stepwise regression analysis identified two mechanical blocks (from a total of six) that are needed to explain 99% of total hand value for winter suit fabrics in terms of fabric smoothness/sleekness and fullness/ softness. These two fabric mechanical blocks are surface and compression properties. For summer suit fabrics, three mechanical blocks, namely, surface properties, tensile properties and bending properties, are sufficient to explain the primary hand values of crispness, hardness and fullness/softness.
