F. The yarns may be fire resistant (FR), or finished with a durable FR finish. The fabric scores between 4.5 and 5.0 on each of random tumble pilling, brush pilling, and Klopman method roughing and pilling, tests. The fabric also has a surface SMD of at least about 4.3, a bending rigidity 2HB of about 0.1 or less, a compressibility EMC % of less than about 28, a shearing stiffness G value of about 2 or less, and an extensibility EMT % of at least about 3.0.
