This study aimed to survey how the touch and esthetic evalution of cloth affect carious feelings people hold for the cloth and clothes in order to find how the tactility and visual characteristics of cloth affect the image of the cloth.
A tactile sensory test and a tactile and visual sensoru test were used to evaluate 20 kinds of cloth. The two tests yielded different scores for most of the cloth. The evaluation by the tactile and visual test gave more favorable impressions to colth used for evaryday clothes than the avaluation by the tactile test did. Also, visual impressions changed the thouch and overall image of some cloth that were similar in tactility.
A survey of clothes suitable for carious kinds of cloth revealed that clothes by the tactile evaluation differed from those chosen by the tactile and visual evaluatio.
