Durability
Durability is one of the most important factors that consumers consider when shopping for fabric. Durability ratings are determined by tests that measure the strength of a fabric and how well it can stand up to wear and tear.

A common abrasion test called the Wyzenbeek abrasion test is used to determine textile durability. This test involves rubbing a fabric sample back and forth. Residential fabrics rate at 15,000 double rubs and heavy-duty fabrics for commercial use are rated at 30,000 double rubs.

The abrasion resistance of the fabric is dependent on the fibers and bonding. A balanced weave with even yarns is usually more durable than a loosely woven fabric. Felting or matting the fibers also tends to increase the strength of the fabric.

Breathability
Generally speaking, a fabric with good breathability will let air through it while preventing moisture from getting in. This is a very important consideration for people who spend a lot of time outdoors.

Breathable fabrics are also a good choice for those who have skin sensitivities, such as eczema and psoriasis. They are also great for wicking away sweat from your body, which is particularly helpful in hot weather. The most popular fabric types for this purpose are cotton, wool, and linen. In particular, linen is considered to be the best for its ability to wick moisture away from the body and keep you dry. The material has a number of other properties that make it an ideal choice for clothing and home textiles.

Colorfastness
Color fastness is the ability of a fabric or dye to hold up against washing, wear, and sunlight. This quality is critical to the lifespan of a fabric, and can make or break its value.

Colour fastness tests are carried out to determine whether a textile will lose or gain color during processing, use, and storage. Colour loss is often referred to as bleeding, while colour intake is described as staining or soiling.

The test is performed using a variety of scales, including the blue wool scale and the AATCC gray scale. Generally, a grade of 5 is considered good for commercial use.
