A rash guard, also known as rash vest or rashie, is functional sportswear that protects the wearer's skin from various dangers during outdoor sports activities. It is durable and comfortable since it is designed considering muscle movement. In modern society, more and more people enjoy leisure activities due to an increase in income level and increased leisure hours. Water leisure activities are increasingly enjoyed in the summer. As the way people think of leisure evolves, people are more inclined toward dynamic leisure sports rather than static facility tourism. Therefore, more research on rash guards is required. By identifying and analyzing the design preferences and purchase behaviors of young adults on rash guards, this study aims to provide basic data on the actual sportswear behaviors concerning those who are most active in water sports, people in their 20s and 30s. Furthermore, the study aims to contribute to a healthy exercise lifestyle for women who enjoy water sports and the growth of the water sportswear market. In the study, a survey was conducted using a questionnaire to investigate the wearing behaviors and purchase preferences as well as the wearing satisfaction on rash guards. For the study, 200 copies of the questionnaire were distributed and collected to be used as analysis data. The questionnaire consisted of 36 questions, 6 about demographic characteristics, 11 about purchase preferences, and 19 about wearing satisfaction. The collected data was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 8.0. The study results can be used as basic data to investigate the design preferences and wearing behaviors of rash guards of women in their 20s and 30s. The results found numerous complaints on comfortableness and durability, which suggests more concern and improvements are necessary in those areas when designing patterns for rash guards.

The purpose of this study was to design functional clothing based on the physical characteristics of old women. The subjects of this experiment were 5 healthy old women and 5 college women. While the subjects were exposed to the circumstances of $28{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ and local heating at 7 areas (chest, abdomen, back, loin, hand, thigh and instep), their skin temperature, physiological reaction and psychological reaction were determined. The conclusions about the effects of local heating are as follows : 1. Skin temperature before heating was in the order of head-neck> trunk> upper limbs> lower limbs (Group A: old subjects) and head-neck> trunk> lower limbs> upper limbs (Group B: young subjects). 2. The heating pad was attached and detached for 30 minutes each. The sharpest rise and fall were recorded at 5 minutes with the pad on and off. Both groups had great changes in the body parts near trunk. 3. With the pad on and off, both groups showed no change in body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse rate. 4. Concerning the pervasive effects of local heating on whole body skin temperature, loin heating greatly increased other body parts in Group A. In Group B, the effects were large in heating chest, abdomen, back, loin, and thigh. 5. The loin part of old women has the greatest pervasive effect of local body heating.

As directly imported apparel brands are actively entering the domestic market, studies of the marketing aspects of these imported apparel products and their overall consumption trend have been done. However, studies of whether are not the directly imported apparel products provide Korean consumers with an appropriate fit are not as common. Therefore, this study investigates the satisfaction with and problems associated with the fit along with the recognition of and preference for directly imported US apparel brands. 100 female college students who purchased directly imported US apparel brands participated in a survey. The results of this survey showed that their recognition of, preference for, possession rate of and satisfaction with the directly imported US apparel brands tend to be high. The major purchasing motivations were the excellent 'design' and 'color' of the products. The subjects reported that they were satisfied with the quality of 'materials' and 'sewing condition'. However, they were not satisfied with the 'comfort' or the 'size'. Their level of satisfaction with the fit of these products differed depending on the specific item. Their level of satisfaction with the fit of T-shirts and knits was high, whereas the level for pants was relatively low. They complained mostly about the sleeve length and garment length of upper-body garments and coats. They were not satisfied with how the pants fit. The areas of dissatisfaction regarding the pants were the waist girth, the crotch length and the pants length.

Agricultural drainage salt generated during irrigation of crops in San Joaquin Valley, California, exceeds 600,000 tons annually and cumulates in the field in a rapid rate. As a result, the waste is taking out more farmlands for salt storage and disposal, imposing serious concerns to environment and local agricultural industry. In searching for a potential solution to reduce or eliminate the waste, this research explored feasibility of producing a value -added product, sodium sulfate, from the waste and utilizing the product in textile dyeing. The results indicated that sodium sulfate could be produced from the salt and could be purified by a recrystalization method in a temperature range within the highest and lowest daily temperatures in summer in the alley. The recovered sodium sulfate samples, with purities ranging from 67% to 99.91, were compared with commercially available sodium sulfate in direct dyeing of cotton fabrics. The salt samples recovered from Mendata, California (〉98.8% sodium sulfate) cause little color difference in the dyeing with selected direct dyes, and the purified salt (Ⅲ) (99.91% sodium sulfate) is more applicable for direct dyeing of cotton fabrics if it has no other toxic effects. The recovered sodium sulfate from certain areas in the valley could not be employed in direct dyeing due to the high level of impurities in it.

This study was performed to offer the basic data for the design of farm shoes. 265 Korean female farmers aging between the 40s to the 80s volunteered for this study and we measured 40 items on each foot with the 3D foot scanner. First, the differences between farmers' feet and non-farmers' feet were analyzed. Farmers' feet were thicker in the instep areas, but had lower arch height than non-farmers' feet. In addition, farmer's feet were tilted to the inside. Next, eight factors were extracted among the 40 measuring items, and the classification criteria of the foot shape was analyzed. The important factors were: size of foot length and volume of ankle, malleolus height and size, volume of the front part of ankle, medial & lateral ball width, and vertical size of foot. Third, three clusters according to the foot shapes were categorized by cluster analysis of eight factor scores. Foot type 1 was medium in foot length, big in thickness, large in lateral ball width, small in toe 1 angle, and tilted to the inside. Foot type 2 was long and slim, and big in toe 5 angle. Foot type 3 was short in foot length, medium in volume of the front part of ankle, large in medial ball width, and big in toe 1 angle. Despite its shortness, foot type 3 was thick and showed severe deformation in toe 1. Lastly, the frequency distributions of the foot types in each age group were analyzed. Female farmers of the forties showed high frequency in type 1 and other age groups showed high frequency in type 2. The older female farmers showed higher frequency of type 3.

현대의 패션의 다양화, 개성화로 패션 스타일을 구현하는데 있어서 모자는 더욱 부각되어 수요자 층이 확대되고 있지만, 다양한 재료와 형태로 세탁 및 관리에 어려움을 갖는다. 이에 본 연구는 모자제품의 관리방법에 대한 소비자의 현황을 조사, 분석함으로써 모자 레이블 부착의 문제점과 개선책 방안을 모색해 보고자 하며, 나아가 모자의 보관이나 세탁방법에 대한 정확하고 충분한 정보를 제공함으로써 제품을 오랫동안 유지할 수 있게 하고자 한다. 소비자들의 모자제품의 세탁 및 관리행동에 관한 조사를 하기 위하여 서울 및 도시에 거주하며 모자를 소유하고 있는 20대, 30대, 40대, 50대 이상의 남녀 395명을 대상으로 연령과 성별을 고려한 할당 표본추출방법을 통하여 설문지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간은 2007년 3월에서 4월까지 이루어 졌으며, 설문은 총 42문항으로 구성되었다. 모자 착용실태, 세탁방법, 건조방법, 보관방법에 관한 문항은 선다형으로, 모자 소비자 불만, 소비자 모자 레이블 인식에 관한 문항은 5점 리커트 척도로 측정하고, 자료분석을 위하여 SPSS 12.0 프로그램으로 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준오차, 교차분석, t-test, 일원분산분석 통계처리를 하였다. 그 결과에 의하면 첫째, 모자 소비자의 세탁방법 인식도와 실천정도는 보통 수준으로 나타났다. 남성보다는 세탁경험이 많은 여성이 모자 세탁 방법에 대하여 잘 알고 실천하고 있었으며, 편안함을 추구하는 젊은 세대보다 높은 연령대가 세탁방법을 더 잘 실천하는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 모자 소비자들은 다른 의복 아이템과 비교하여 울세제로 세탁망에 넣어 세탁기로 돌리거나 손으로 직접 빠는 세심한 관리를 하는 경우가 많았다. 세탁빈도는 더러움이 탈 때마다 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 세탁의 주 목적은 얼룩제거로 나타났지만, 여성은 남성에 비해 모자의 형태보전과 냄새제거를 중요한 요인으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 건조장소에 있어서는 그늘에서 건조한다는 응답이 가장 많았고 대부분 집게로 집어 빨래 줄에 말리는 경우가 많았다. 모자 세탁 시 세탁방법, 건조방법, 건조장소의 요인들보다 세제종류가 세탁 후 변형에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되어 적절한 세제를 사용할 수 있는 정보를 소비자에게 인지시켜 피해를 줄이는데 노력하여야 할 것이다. 또 보관방법으로는 대부분 옷장 선반에 두고 있었으며 보관 후 형태변화 결과를 경험한 소비자의 비율이 높은 것으로 보아 적합한 모자 보관으로 형태유지에 각별한 주의가 요구된다. 셋째, 대부분의 모자 소비자들은 레이블에 대한 중요성을 인지하고 있으나 다른 의복 아이템에 비하여 모자레이블에 대한 신뢰도는 더 낮게 나타나, 공급자들은 정확하고 실질적인 레이블을 표기하여 신뢰도 회복을 기해야 할 것이다. 많은 소비자들이 모자의 치수 체계 이해에 어려움을 갖고 있으며, 특히 남성의 경우 레이블에 대한 전반적인 인지도가 낮게 나타나 남성 소비자에게도 전반적인 레이블에 대해 교육시키도록 구체적인 노력이 이루어져야만 하겠다. 후속연구에서는 모자의 다양한 형태나 재료에 따른 세탁 및 관리 방법을 보완하여 연구가 수행되어서 보다 구체적인 자료가 제공되어야 할 것으로 보인다.
