There is one other option to assess IR-reflectance of clothes,
background and hair, especially if you don't have the time for
testing: get yourself a cheap night vision unit and mount a dark IR
filter on it. I use this method myself of all kinds of IR-assessment;
it has guided me to good subjects and compositions I might have never
tried otherwise, and prevented many dull ones.
See a full story about how I discovered this on my homepage:

The best night vision units are those with a normal M42 lens, since
they have an aperture to limit light levels to the tube in daylight
use. Together with a dark IR filter they don't even suffer much that
way. Mine still works....:-))
