Abstract
Succeeding to Report I, experiments were made on the bodily effects of clothing conditions in summer by wearing method. In summer the effects produced by upward and horizontal openings on the skin temperature, the moisture under clothes, the volume of perspiration, etc. were examined. Cotton broad cloth was used as the test material. The following shapes of collars and sleeves were used : -the stand-collar of closed type and the square neckline of open type; the puffsleeve of closed type, the flaresleeve of open type with the same coverage as puffsleeve, and the no-sleeve type. Six blouses with different opening conditions were made combining the above-mentioned collars and sleeves and one lace-type blouse was made, making holes about 20% area to the most-closed one with stand-collar and puffsleeves.
Measuring the skin temperature at various parts, it was made clear that the difference due to the shape of collars was marked at the neck and the throat, while that due to the shape of sleeves was marked at the shoulders and the upper arms. It was also made clear that the emission effect of bodily heat was more notable in the case of the lace-type blouse.
By this experiment, it was proved that the adjustment of clothing conditions to the climate was important to avoid the summer heat.
By this experiment, the importance of clothing conditions to avoid the summer heat was proved.
