Abstract
In the previous paper, the authors have studied the slacks ease and the fabric deformation under wearing condition.
The pourpose in this paper is to investigate the fabric deformation of the slacks which are made with different materials and have various ease. These clothing materials are two woven fabrics and a knitted fabric. The determination of the slacks ease bases on the ease at the knee and hem part of slacks.
The garment deformation are measured in wearing condition for each slacks, in the same manner of the previous paper.
On the other hand, the tensile property, the shearing property and the frictional property are measured as the physical characteristics of the fabric and are compared with the fabric deformation in wearing.
The work has yielded the following results. On the woven fabric slacks, the fabric deformation follows the dynamic skin deformation by the shearing deformation rather than the tensile deformation of the fabric. This shearing deformation depends upon anisotropic mechanical property of the fabric. On the knitted fabric slacks, it has depended upon the tensile deformation. However, with decreasing the quantity of the slacks ease the knitted fabric deformation becomes similar to the woven fabric.
