Abstract
Under the present circumstances where we are moving towards to an ultra-aged society, it can be considered important to understand the actual conditions and habits of clothes-wearing of people of all ages from the young to the aged. In order to collect data for the comfortable clothing life of men, a questionnaire about the present state of men's clothes-wearing was conducted in 2001 on 1, 165 men from 13 to 94 years old, and the following results were obtained. Regardless of age, men preferred trunks to briefs. As regards the number of days to wear the same clothes before washing them, most of the people wore shirts, socks, briefs and trunks only for one day. The majority of the people wore pajamas for one to three days in summer, and many of them did so for four days to a week in winter.Many raised opinions about clothes indicating concern about the appearance in respect to outerwear and about the comfortability in respect to underwear and nightwear. What were important when purchasing clothes were color, design and price for young people, and comfortability and materials used for elderly people.
