The lustre is an important factor for appearance of fabric.
It is interesting to study relations between sensory evaluation of lustre and optical property of fabric.
These relations were examined by means of multiple factor analysis. The reaults obtained are as followes.
1. There are two independent bases, quality and quantity of lustre, for visual evaluation of lustre.
2. Physicalvalues of fabric lustre based on goniophotometric curve are related to not quality but quantity of lustre. On the other hand, the expression by means of polarized light is related to quality of lustre.
3. Quality of lustre is influenced by internal reflection and transmisson from fiber. Quantity of lustre is influenced by reflection that has directional property.
