A questionnaire was constructed based on the analysis of women’s Hanbok and its online shopping site. It consists of 36 questions, including actual wearing conditions, perception of new jeogori, and preference for design components. The survey was distributed to 408 adult women over age 20 and older across the country. New jeogori is fast becoming popular nowadays. Thus, this study focused on actual wearing conditions and perception of new jeogori design and analyzed design preferences on new Hanbok’s jeogori. Women over age 60 had the highest experience of wearing and the most possessing new jeogori, and the older had more experience of wearing new jeogori. The most preferred form of jeogori was medium length. While women in the 20s preferred short length jeogori styles, women in the 50s preferred the medium length jeogori styles. The regular fit was more preferred than over oversized or undersized fit, and princess line jeogori was the most preferred. Round git, regular width git, no dongjeong, same color git and dongjeong, front closing with a wide overlap, one goreum, fitted sleeve, and long sleeve designs were preferred. The most preferred jeogori color scheme was a monochromatic color, and accent colors with a solid color piece were next preferred. The most preferred color was achromatic color, red and blue were followed. Contemporary materials were preferable to traditional materials, and the preferable fabric was cotton. Contemporary medium-sized patterns were preferred, and the preferable pattern was a floral pattern. As a pilot study, this research is to inherit Korean traditional culture and develop a new hanbok jeogory style. Based on the results of this research, distinct jeogori design is needed to develop by different age levels rather than by materials and patterns. Increasing visibility of the values of Hanbok, a design framework according to age group, needs to be created.

Qualitative Research on Actual Wearing Conditions and Satisfaction of Rifle Shooting Clothing

This study investigates actual wearing conditions and satisfaction based on qualitative research for rifle shooting clothing. The survey was conducted in two ways: in-depth interviews of 4 rifle shooting experts and subjective questionnaires for 18 active rifle shooters. They agreed on the importance of rifle shooting wear to minimize body sway and contribute to a balanced body posture. Most rifle shooters purchase made-to-measure rifle shooting clothing at a domestic store, but the clothing often needs extra adjustments due to an uncomfortable fit. Current fabric for rifle shooting clothing consists of a cotton canvas with a polyester mix; however, rifle shooters are unsatisfied with its stiffness in hot and wet conditions. Due to the specific fabric features, rifle shooting clothing should not be washed despite year-round use that represents another point of dissatisfaction. Rifle shooters always wear specially designed underclothes to improve shooting skills and comfort sensation. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop well fitted and comfort rifle shooting clothing that could improve shooters skills based upon this study.

The reverse guillotine tribometer for evaluation of sliding wear of additive manufactured fixtures

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a custom-built tribometer that mimics the wear of additive manufactured fixtures used in inspection of sheet metal components. Design/methodology/approach – Referring to the inspection of sheet metal parts, the fixture undergoes sliding wear during loading and unloading phases of the quality control operation. A new wear test is proposed to mimic the actual wearing conditions of the fixtures because the standards are deemed insufficient. In the tribometer, a cylindrical Alumide cantilever beam is made to slide back and forth inside a slightly bigger hole cut into a nickel-plated steel sheet. The sheet is spring loaded such that it applies a force on the specimen. The wear on the beam is measured after every 500 cycles of the beam motion. Findings – Results of some first test trials are reported to evaluate the durability of Alumide fixtures fabricated by selective laser sintering. The results are also compared to those obtained for a machined fixture made of an Al-Cu alloy. Practical implications – The proposed wear test estimates the life time of additive manufactured fixtures in terms of numbers of inspected components. The test can be extended to different materials to compare their durability. Originality/value – Today, the fabrication of custom fixtures by means of additive manufacturing technologies is a reality in many manufacturing industries. The advantage of using those production technologies for custom fixtures is well assessed in literature in terms of manufacturing times and costs, whereas little attention was given to the life time and wear behaviour of fabricated fixtures. For its practical implication, the fixture durability is indeed very important for manufactures.

Wearable Textile Battery Rechargeable by Solar Energy

Wearable electronics represent a significant paradigm shift in consumer electronics since they eliminate the necessity for separate carriage of devices. In particular, integration of flexible electronic devices with clothes, glasses, watches, and skin will bring new opportunities beyond what can be imagined by current inflexible counterparts. Although considerable progresses have been seen for wearable electronics, lithium rechargeable batteries, the power sources of the devices, do not keep pace with such progresses due to tenuous mechanical stabilities, causing them to remain as the limiting elements in the entire technology. Herein, we revisit the key components of the battery (current collector, binder, and separator) and replace them with the materials that support robust mechanical endurance of the battery. The final full-cells in the forms of clothes and watchstraps exhibited comparable electrochemical performance to those of conventional metal foil-based cells even under severe folding-unfolding motions simulating actual wearing conditions. Furthermore, the wearable textile battery was integrated with flexible and lightweight solar cells on the battery pouch to enable convenient solar-charging capabilities.

This study is an initial report of actual wearing conditions and attitude based on a survey of wearing outdoor wear for men and women in their 30s to 50s who enjoy daily leisure sport activities. Most middle-aged men and women who enjoy outdoor activities were interested in new trends and clothing styles. The greatest area of interest was health(42.9%), followed by leisure and sports(38.4%); in addition, hiking(40.2%) was the most popular outdoor activity. The majority of subjects participated in outdoor activities for over 5 years(34.4%). The highest frequency of outdoor activities was conducted once or twice a month, and it took one to three hours for each activity. Nearly half of the respondents( 47.7%) answered that the goal of outdoor activities was to maintain their health. Subjects in their 40s and 50s were more equipped in their outdoor activities and in their 50s made ongoing investments despite costs. When wearing clothing, the subjects placed a priority on design(in the case of subjects in their 30s) and comfort(for subjects in their 40s and 50s). This survey shows that the subjects emphasized access to outdoor wear and equipment. In all age groups, the biggest complaint about outdoor wear was price; in addition, they were unsatisfied with the length and the sleeves of outdoor jackets. Outdoor wear will draw a positive attention for its practical use of clothing if it is developed according to consumer demands based on functionality for outdoor activities and convenience in daily life.

This study suggests basic data on optimum thermal insulation for spring wear through an investigation of subjective thermal sensation, self-health image and actual wearing conditions. A survey of university students using a self-administered questionnaire was conducted to collect data on subjective thermal sensation, self-health image, wearing conditions, demographics and physical characteristics. The variable of wearing conditions was measured as the response to the clothing they were wearing. Garment items (26 types for males and 41 types for females) were suggested and the items worn by the students were converted into the thermal insulation values for clothing. The main results are as follows. As for the body type perception, males perceived themselves as not fat while females perceived themselves as not thin. As for the health perception, males perceived themselves healthier than females. As for the climate adaptability perception, females were more sensitive to cold than males. The average thermal insulation of clothing was 0.97clo (0.34-1.95clo) with higher insulation for males than females. Students were more sensitive to the cold when their BMI was lower, their body surface area per body weight was larger, and the more they perceived themselves as not healthy. There was a significant correlation between the self-health image of sensitiveness to cold and the thermal insulation of clothing. The results were synthetically discussed in terms of environmental physiology.

A New Method and Its Efficiency to Evaluate the Wrinkle-Resistance of Wool.

A novel method to evaluate the wrinkle-resistance of woolen fabrics is proposed together with several experimental tests to check its efficiency, which enables us to follow the relaxation behavior of fabrics from wrinkled states, with higher reliability as well as by with greater ease than the conventional methods such as the Multiple-Pleats Test, IWS Method, JIS-L-1059's A to D, etc. Experiments proved the method is strong in two respects: Good reproducibility can be achieved because measurement is always performed in the state at which the regain of the cloth specimen is saturated in the sample-conditioning atmosphere; and high precision or resolvability is guaranteed since the bias caused by the difference in humidity can be removed if the common conditions be set in all tests. This technique was applied to the analysis of the relaxation in the wrinkles that are brought on woolen slacks by actual wearing conditions. The results obtained, being compared with the laboratory ones, proved the practical validity of the new method and gave useful information.

Studies on water vapor pressure gradient from external air through clothing to the skin in relation to external humidity and clothing conditions.

Using a hygrometric capsule method developed by the authors, water vapor pressure was measured at each layer of clothing as well as at the skin surface on a human subject under actual wearing conditions. The pattern of vapor pressure gradient from the skin surface through clothing to the external air was examined in relation to the ambient vapor pressure and ths sort of textiles worn. The following findings were obtained. 1) Water vapor pressure gradient was greater between coat and external air than that between coat and underwear. The gradient became steeper again between underwear and the skin. 2) Under given clothing conditions, vapor pressure at each layer of clothing as well as at the skin varied according to the ambient humidity. However, the pattern of vapor pressure gradient from the skin through clothing to the external air was not greatly influenced by the external humidity. 3) The pattern of vapor pressure gradient from the skin through clothing to the external air was not greatly influenced by the external humidity. 3) The pattern of vapor pressure gradient through the clothing as a whole differed according to the kinds of textiles used for coat and underwear.
