The thermal resistance of 60 men's suits for summer and winter was measured to determine their thermal characteristics and physical properties, including air permeability, weight, and thickness of the jackets and trousers consisted of the ensembles were measured to predict the thermal resistance of garments and ensembles. In this study, general physical properties of the men' suit ensembles were determined. In general, thickness and weight of winter ensembles were greater than those of summer ensembles. A factor which could distinguish the difference between summer and winter ensembles was the air permeability. The air permeability of summer ensembles was 3~6 times greater than those of winter ensembles. For the thermal characteristics, the thermal resistance of winter ensembles were higher than those of summer ensembles. When the wind was involved, the thermal resistance of both ensembles decreased up to 30%. In addition, the equations were developed to predict the thermal resistance of the garments and ensembles when there was no air velocity and the thermal resistance of the ensembles with air velocity of 1.2 m/sec. Looking at the equations, thickness, weight, and size of the garments were the definite factors that affect the thermal resistance of the samples.

Men's dress shoe was made from Steer-finished leather manufactured by this study. Men's dress shoe applied by the cementing method in KS G 3116 and used by the chloroprene adhesive has been evaluated. For the qualify test of adhesive for Oxford using chloroprene adhesive, duration for environmental exposure was tested. Also, the quality test result of chloroprene adhesive, which had been applied to men's dress shoe as well as ladies' dress shoe, was better than expected. In case of adhesion-strength measurement. the KS G 3116 method of peel strength at the end of toe was found to be resonable compared to our measurement method through toe to heel seat on feather edge.

본 연구에서는 20∼50대의 남녀를 대상으로 중년 남성의 의복디자인에 따른 시각효과를 연상디자인적인 면에서 고찰하여 중년남성의 체형에 가장 적합한 의복디자인을 규명하는 것에 그 목적을 두었다. 중년남성의 체형을 균형화 시키는 연상디자인 시각효과를 유발시킬 수 있는 신사복 정장의 형태를 파악하기 위해 일반적으로 중년남성이 외출복으로 착용하는 정장스타일의 수트를 선정하여 의복디자인의 형태구성요인이 다르게 조합된 연상디자인 시각효과를 분석한다. 그리하여 체형결점을 보완할 수 있는 의복의 형태구성요인을 파악하여 사회적 상황에서 중년남성들이 표출하고 싶은 시각적 느낌을 효과적으로 드러낼 수 있는 체형에 대해서 적절하며 또한 효과적인 의복디자인을 제시하고자한다. 또한, 이와 관련된 소재에 따른 시각적 평가가 다르게 이루어질 것으로 판단되어 소재별 시각효과, 여밈 및 단추 수의 변화, 체형에 따른 시각효과의 차이에 관해서 알아보고자 하였다.

This study was attempted to segment the male consumers' market for men's suit based on brand preferences and to identify the group differences in apparel purchasing behaviors and demographic features and to suggest basic information applicable to marketing strategy. 705 men were selected for the study; they were in their twenties through forties, and they lived in Seoul and its suburbs. 655 survey questionnaires were collected and used for analysis. Using the SAS package, frequency, factors, reliability, correlation, genealogical group analysis, distribution analysis, the ($\chi$$^2$-test and the Duncan test for verification were actualized for analysis. The findings of this study were as follows: First, male-suit consumers tend to prefer the national brand(61.07%), licensed brand(19.39%), volume character brand(7.63%), prestige character brand(6.56%), and directly imported brand(5.34%) in order. Second, there were significant differences in apparel shopping orientations, purchasing behavior variables and demographic variables among the 5 classified groups.

Mass customization utilizes the new computer technologies, supply chain management, product information management, and some level of customization of the product for the individual customer. This study aimed at grasping the actual conditions of mass customization of domestic men's suit industry and the use of MTM CAD program. The MTM apparel production programs that are used by five leading men's suit manufacturers in Korea were compared. The results of the study showed that most of the manufacturers produced mass customized men's suits to supply extraordinarily large or small size suit based on the individual order. The information listed on an order sheet used at shops was not necessarily corresponding to the information in the MTM CAD program that is use for production of suit ordered from the shop. The pattern data base on the MTM CAD program are constructed based on the sizing system of individual manufacturer. The most manufacturers translated the customer's body dimensions into difference between the standard pattern and the customer's needed adjustment.

The purpose of this study was to propose a computer-based grading method for men's formal wear according to the sizing systems based on the size and dimension whereby manufactured men's formal wear can be classified. The following procedures were as follows : 1) We surveyed the sizing systems and the computer-grading methods that have been used and presently practiced by the domestic garment industry of the ready-made men's wear. 2) Using the survey data of the domestic men's ready-made clothing industry and that of the National Anthropometric Survey of Korea in 1997, we proposed the new sizing and grading systems of men's formal wear within the framework of the Korean Garment Industry's directions and the data of the domestic men's ready-made clothing industry. 3) The suitability of the new grading systems to the domestic garment industry were put to a wearing teat. The findings were as follows : 1) Survey of the domestic ready-made garment industry showed that each company classified its own manufactured goods according to its own sizing and grading systems. 2) The superiority of the grading system was been demonstrated by a high approval rate of the subjects who participated in the testing.

The study analyzes the development of slim-fit formal pants patterns for middle-aged men. This study suggests a new pattern that complements the problems of the existing fit on the basis of the standard nude size for middle-aged men with lower garments through the analyses of one-tuck pants patterns from 5 popular brands. As a result, the waistline is lowered by 0.8cm out of consideration for the waist circumference. The crotch extension is reduced by 1.5cm, the back crotch length is revised, the center back waist point is raised by 0.9cm, and the hip line is straightened. The slim-fit is perfected of the new lines from the thigh to knee-line.
