Seam slippage in woven woolen fabrics for leisure wear was investigated. The results obtained showed that a change in the stitch length or sewing thread type did not have a significant effect on the magnitude of seam slippage. However, the use of lap seams and fabric reinforcement (resin spray or fusible tapes) produced a significant reduction in the seam slippage.
