Sažetak
The number of European standards related to testing of knitted fabrics and socks are low. Measuring of thermal comfort of socks is usually conducted on the thermal foot together with the footwear. As, on male socks are placed high demands of usage durability and comfort, it is necessary to expand the research in that field. Therefore, the properties of casual male socks, made of high content of cotton in full plating by yarns of different composition (polyamide 6.6, Lycra/ cotton, Lycra/polyamide 6.6) were compared in this paper, by applying the proposed methodology for evaluation quality of socks according to the standardized test methods. With particular reference to usage properties, it was carried out the assessment of dimensional stability of socks after one and five repeated washing and drying cycles ; propensity to surface pilling after 125, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 7000 rubbing cycles, and abrasion resistance by determination of specimen breakdown using the Martindale abrasion tester comparing two methods ; as well as testing of thermophysiological comfort of socks before and after five repeated washing and drying cycles by measuring of thermal resistance on the thermal foot.
