    For the purpose of extracting informations of somatotypes of comfortable garments, we examined method of analysises for measuring physical data.
    The current somatotype classifications for garments is classified on the basis of size factor, but if other morphological factors such as posture and figure, are added in making dress patterns, ready made clothing will be more suited.
    In this paper we choiced and measured 40 items which contain some measurement of posture and figure with silhouetter photography and the low data and proportional to height were examined by principal component analysis each other.
    We found clear difference between these to results; that is to say, the later method shows that morphological factors such as proportion, posture and figure can be extracted.

    Although various aspects of clothing have recently been studied extensively from the human factors engineering viewpoint, very few studies have been made on the clothes covering the beckengürlel, especially with reference to the motion characteristics of articulatio coxae.
    In the light of this apparent gap, an attempt is made here to study the clothes for the beckengürlel, and, more specifically, pants, which have for some time become one of the commonest clothes for women. From among various approaches which might possibly be applied, the one chosen as the most suitable for this study is: first, to carry out a number of kinesiological experiments and, subsequently, to analyze basic data thus obtained with a view to deriving therefrom certain propositions related to desirable design characteristics of pants.

    In most of the studies on anthropometry, various measurements and the ratios among them were taken as standards for classification of human physique. A lot of complicated data had been observed but, it was often difficult to make reasonable classification.
    Recently, a new method “Principal component analysis” has come up. Using the method, reasonable classification can be made with a number of statistically efficient variable which are appropriate for explaining multivariate phenomena in human physique.
    The objective of the present study is to examine usefulness of the method for a classification of human physique. A caluculation of principal component analysis was carried out with 22 component out of 54 in connection with breaths and widths together with the ratios among them as the most efficient variables. The subjects perticipated in the present study are 131 female university students.
    The conclusions are as follows:
    1. The first principal component is the size factor, which expresses about 35% of the whole variance.
    2. The second principal component is the obesity factor, which expresses about 19% of the whole variance.
    3. The third principal component is the trunk sectionshape factor, which expresses about 9% of the whole variance.

    Most of the female workers in the silk-reeling industry are young, and it is suggested that usually the styles of their working clothes are not fit for work. While those silk-reeling women require a lot of movement of the limbs, little attention has been paid to the material of their working clothes. For the purpose of improving working clothes of the raw silk-reeling women, a survey was made, the old and new styles were compared.
    1) The cotton knitted upper garments were absorbent than woven goods, fitting the body more comfortably and being more stretchable. The state of the sewing, the design and color also proved significant for working clothes of young raw silk-reeling women.
    2) To prevent turning up of the waist part of trousers in a bending posture, it is recommendable to make use of suitable material such as stretch-insidebelts.
    3) Because young women have generally dissatisfaction as to their working clothes, full exchange of views between women employee and manager is necessary to reach an agreement on the improved working clothes.
