There is another similar word, "hand," which has a specific meaning when talking about clothes. "The hand" of a garment is how it feels when you touch it. "This suede jacket has a nice hand."

Very few people will use either word unless they work in the clothing business. Most people would say "Oh, that jacket fits you so well! And it feels nice too!"
