summer conditions and is currently produced, using traditional and eco-friendly processing techniques, in Takashima,
Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Crepe fabrics are constructed by using hard twisted weft yarns, resulting in a wrinkled
fabric surface. The globalization of the clothing industry in recent years has increased the demand for cotton crepe
fabrics used in womenʼs soft dresses. Using cotton crepe fabrics in various types of Western-style garments is
expected to help preserve traditional textile design techniques.
The aim of this study is to show how the female students (age 18 to 24 years) evaluate the tactile feelings of cotton crepe
fabrics. We collected 24 typical crepe fabrics with different crepe structures to clarify the effect of surface crinkling on
sensory evaluations. The tactile feeling of crepe fabrics was assessed by female students using the SD method, under two
different conditions: with and without being able to see the fabric. The sensory tests were performed in summer and
winter. We used the mean score of the subjective assessments as the tactile feeling of the fabrics.
The female students preferred fabrics that felt “soft”, “smooth”, and “wet”. Although the feeling of “shari” (crispness)
is a unique feeling that provides a cool sensation, female students did not have a strong preference for it. Their
sensory evaluations showed similar tendencies for both tactile and tactile-visual assessments, and in both winter and
summer. The subjective hand value of preference with regard to crepe fabrics was closely related to the fabric
thickness T0: small value for T0 was associated with high scores for these subjective hand values. The fine piqué
fabric was preferred more than the other crepe fabrics. We conclude that the feelings of shari and hari (stiffness that
resists draping) should be maintained in crepe fabrics, and that the fine piqué structure is a positive feature that
makes the fabric suitable for soft womenʼs dresses., 滋賀大学環境総合研究センター研究年報, 第12巻第1号, pp. 3-8},
