We take up the surface roughness and slipping resistance as the tactile parameter to explore the surface properties of Shingosen fabrics. Thirty kinds of Singosen fabrics to be classified into four groups: Peach Skin (PS), Rayon Dry (RD), New Silky (NS) and New Worsted (NW) were chosen. Three sensory tests: Surface Rubbing test (SR), Folded Rubbing test (FR) and Folded Slipping test (FS) were selected, and twenty-two students assessed the surface roughness and slipping resistance. Relationships between the results of three sensory test and four Shingosen groups were obtained as follows; 1) PS is not rough and has large slipping resistance with the low weight. 2) RD is largely rough and has small slipping resistance with the low weight. 3) NS has small slipping resistance with the low weight. 4) NW is not smooth and has large slipping resistance with the low weight. Yet it slips with applied force. Based on the assess of SR, FR and FS, the fabrics were classified into four clusters. Cluster 1 was coincide with PS and Cluster 2 was coincide with RD. But, Cluster 3 and 4 were composed several groups of Shingosen. Furthermore, by Quantification theory II, it was possible to discriminate among the four groups of Shingosen based on three sensory test of the surface roughness and slipping resistance.
