Abstract

Objective: Typical clothing ensemble for the textile worker in the cotton textile workshop was investigated, which can be used to assess the real thermal condition in the cotton textile workshop. Methods: A yearlong survey of typical fabrics and clothing ensembles in four different cotton textile workshops was carried out in 2013. Four seasons were taken into account for this survey and participants included 572 female workers and 288 male workers. Results: Various clothing ensembles for textile workers were listed. The typical material of clothing ensembles and the most typical clothing ensembles for textile workers were investigated and summarized in this paper. Conclusion: The most common material worn by the textile workers was cotton fabrics with high water absorption properties and an increased level of comfort. The most typical clothing ensemble for female worker, with the static value of basic insulation 0.48clo, included short-sleeve shirt, shorts, sandals, bra and panties, half-slip and cap. While the most typical clothing ensemble for the male worker, with static value of the basic insulation 0.39clo, included short-sleeve shirt, shorts, briefs, and sandals.
