In garment manufacturing, pressing is one of the latest stages of production. The purpose of the pressing is to achieve a smooth appearance of the shell fabric and flat and smooth seams. A group of woven fabrics with of fiber composition 100% cotton, cotton/Lycra, 100% wool and blended wool/PES for production of men's shirt and tailored garments were tested for seam pressing performance on a FAST 4 press test. The relationship of the seam crease angle after pressing with the fabric fiber composition and fabric weight and end use. The substantial difference between fabric end use and seam pressing performance was analyzed. The fabrics of Wool/PES fabric composition have shown best seam crease performance out of all fabrics for tailored garments. Cotton/Lycra fabrics have shown superior seam pressing performance compared to 100% cotton fabric for men's shirt.
