"Comfort level" is defined as the load per lineal dimension required to distend the fabric circumferentially to a predetermined condition of stress. The fabric is knitted from stabilized fibres which may be all cellulosic, e.g. cotton or rayon, or a blend of thermoplastic synthetic fibres, e.g. polyester, with cellulosic fibres.
