There are many reasons for Peirce (1930:377) was one of the first the lack of competitiveness, including researchers to investigate the relationship deficiencies in terms of appropriate knowledge, between subjectively assessed fabric handle technological know-how and skills and and the objectively measured fabric mechanical technology systems and capacity. For South properties, and can be called “the father of Africa (SA) to be globally competitive, it needs to FOM”. After him, many other researchers, produce, on time and on brief, fabrics and notably Postle (1989:72), Kawabata (1982) and garments, which are of excellent quality, Kawabata et al, (1984, 1986), made major fashionable and represent ‘value for money’, contributions towards the technology of the notably in wool and wool blends for the higher objective measurement of fabric and garment value “niche” end of the local and international quality related properties, such as handle, markets. To achieve this, the highly advanced making-up and wear performance. This and integrated Fabric Objective Measurement eventually resulted in the culmination of the KES (FOM) systems, such as Fabric Assurance by -F system of FOM, popularly known as the Simple Testing (FAST) and Kawabata, widely Kawabata system (KES systems, 2016), used in competing countries to improve and developed by Prof. Kawabata and his team in ensure the quality of the fabrics and garments, Japan (Kawabata et al, 1984; 1986). could play a significant role and should be Nevertheless, the system, though ideal for implemented in SA. To produce top quality research laboratories and large and advanced fashionable garments, particularly from woven fabric and clothing manufacturers, was worsted fabrics, requires effective utilization of considered too sophisticated and expensive for an FOM system, this already being widely used wider use. This lead to the development of the globally to improve and ensure fabric and FAST system which was more user friendly and garment quality. less expensive than the Kawabata system (CSIRO, 1989; De Boos and Tester, 1994; The reason for the lack of the adoption of FOM FAST systems, 2016). It was developed to systems in SA was investigated by means of a provide the industry with a single, robust and survey of local apparel fabric and clothing relatively inexpensive system for the objective manufacturers and retailers (Das, 2011; Das measurement of fabric properties important in and Hunter, 2015). It was found that only one tailoring. As rightly stated by Ly and De Boos FAST system was in use in SA, with most (1990:370), “while the measurement of fabric apparel fabric and garment manufacturers and properties with FAST is a relatively simple retailers apparently carrying little knowledge of procedure, the interpretation of the data requires FOM systems and their potential benefits. This an understanding of how each fabric property made it clear that a concerted effort was influences the tailoring performance”. This task required to promote and implement FOM in SA, is simplified with the help of a FAST Control this being considered essential in improving the Chart. In this chart, the measured properties are global competitiveness of the local apparel plotted (plotting can be done automatically when manufacturing industry dealing with worsted using a PC and the FAST Data Program) and type of fabrics. the points joined to give a “fabric fingerprint”, with control limits, which helps in the Various international studies (Kawabata, 1982; interpretation of the data, for example whether Mahar et al, 1983; Postle et al, 1983; Kawabata the fabric tested is suitable for an intended end- et al, 1984, 1986; Ly and De Boos, 1990) use (Postle, 1983; FAST systems, 2016). publications and conferences have Prediction of tailoring performance is based on The development and application of a fabric objective measurement data system in the South African apparel industry: Hygral expansion and formability 2 ISSN 0378-5254 Journal of Consumer Sciences, Special Edition Diversifying clothing research in Southern Africa, Vol 2, 2017 the suggested maximum and minimum limits for 1991:135).

If the fingerprint falls outside the limits, it weave crimp, fabric setting and fabric structure indicates that more work, for example re- finishing, needs to be done on that particular Formability fabric. The FAST control chart indicates all the fabric properties that are tested, including, Fabric formability, derived from fabric bending relaxation shrinkage, hygral expansion, and longitudinal compressional properties, or formability, bending rigidity, extensibility, shear from bending and tensile properties, has been rigidity, thickness and weight. Of these, hygral shown to be related to tailoring performance expansion and formability are key for worsted (Lindberg et al, 1960; Mahar et al, 1983).

It provides a and have therefore been selected as the focus measure of how easily the flat, two dimensional, of this paper. surface of the fabric, can be transformed into a three-dimensional shape, for example, at the Hygral expansion shoulder of a jacket. Fabric formability can be used to predict the limit of overfeed before Hygral expansions, and its important effect on buckling. The lower the formability, the more tailorability and wear performance, have been likely it is also for seam pucker to occur, extensively studied since the 1960s (Shaw, because the fabric is unable to accommodate 1978; 1986).

The process of fine tuning the uniform regulations to accommodate the various functions of the park ranger began in the 1930s. Until then there was only one uniform and the main focus seemed to be in trying to differentiate between the officers and the lowly rangers. The former were authorized to have their uniforms made of finer material (Elastique versus heavy wool for the ranger), and extraneous decorations of all kinds were hung on the coat to distinguish one from the other. The ranger's uniform was used for all functions where recognition was desirable: dress; patrol (when the possibility of contact with the public existed), and various other duties, such as firefighting.
