Journal overview

Launched in 1969, Textile Progress publishes critical, comprehensive and authoritative reviews of research into all aspects of the textile, apparel and footwear industries, associated sciences, social sciences and technologies. With emphasis on recent developments and improvements in both product and service performance, the journal aims to be topical in its choice of research review subjects. Textile Progress is intended to appeal to a wide readership, to stimulate interdisciplinary interest among textile, clothing and footwear professionals and also to provide an understanding of the state of the art that is accessible to non-textile specialists. Examples of areas that have been addressed by the journal in recent years include:

  • Smart textiles
  • The science of clothing comfort/moisture transport/clothing systems for outdoor activities
  • Fibre-reinforced composites/composite nonwovens (hard and soft composites)
  • Green chemistry and the textile industry/functional finishing/plasma technology/ dyeing and coloration
  • Development of medical garments for the elderly and disabled
  • Nanoparticles and nanotechnology in the development of high-performance textiles
  • Fashion marketing, fashion retailing and fashion retail technology.

All review articles in Textile Progress undergo both expert peer review and editorial screening before being accepted for publication.
