The paper investigates the mechanical and comfort properties of pure bamboo and viscose bamboo woven fabrics. The mechanical properties considered in the study are breaking strength, elongation at break, tear strength, bending length, bending rigidity, drape coefficient and comfort properties includes air-permeability, water absorption and crease recovery . Both the fabrics were compared well in terms of these properties. The results indicate that viscose bamboo fabric give better result from the point of view of tenacity and bending and from point of view of comfort pure bamboo fabric perform better. The pure bamboo fabric perform better in terms of elongation break and bending rigidity and viscose bamboo in terms of breaking strength, tear strength, bending length and drape. Viscose content in the blend has enhanced the tensile properties.
