Abstract
@As for the apparel materials, there are many kinds of fibers, natural vegetable fibers, animal fibers, regenerated fibers and
synthetic fibers and new fibers are still developing. In this paper I studied how young students in this college, who have been
studying the clothing science, understand apparel materials. Subjects were 160 young womenfs students who entered the college in
April. In the research sheets, they answered weather they knew the name of the fibers. Then they answered 15 questions about the
image of materials as for eight typical apparel materials, wool, cotton, linen/ramie, silk, polyester, nylon, acrylic and rayon.
@The results was 1) Cotton is very popular and their image is useful in the all rounds area of daily life. 2) Wool is considered as
good feeling, warm, exclusive and elegant material, while is not suitable for underwear nor jackets.
