Abstract
The technological development in the polyester filament manufacture has led to new concepts in fabrics, for example, 'shingosen'. The main concern in the yarn and fabric area includes bending deformation by the ultra fine filaments, shear deformation by the weight reduction method, compression deformation by the multi-layer filaments with different shinkage, and visual characteristics. Multi-layered polyester filament yarn fabrics and wool-containing fabrics were evaluated through the sue of KES and luster analysis. The correlation among the subjective evaluation results and eh objective analyses were calculated.
