Man has always been interested in the relationship between clothing and physical well-being. The scientific discipline of clothing physiology, on the other hand, which has been and continues to be shaped primarily by the Hohenstein Institutes in Germany since 1946, is comparatively young.
In this special publication, we have summarized the milestones of a development that ranges from the first form of human clothing made from hide and leather through to modern functional textiles.
Using the research methods of clothing physiology, items of clothing, as well as bedding and sleeping bags can now be optimally tailored to their respective area of application.
The innovative strengths of the scientists at Hohenstein formed the foundation for this. Clothing physiological research owes its pioneering and now internationally recognized test systems such as the Hohenstein Skin Model and the articulated thermal manikin, "Charlie", to their work.
With pride, we look back on 60 years of work in the service of wear comfort and look forward to continuing to be actively involved in creating future generations of innovative textiles.
