The static and dynamic drape behavior of polyester Shingosen fabrics is investigated using the new mechanical parameter of dynamic drapability, that is, the dynamic drape coefficient with swinging motion Dd.The Ddof the Peach Face fabric is small and that of the New Worsted fabric is large. On the other hand, there are almost no differences between each group of Shingosen fabrics in node numbers and conventional static drape coefficients. In classifying production characteristics, yam-processing fabrics show larger values of Ddthan other fiber-production and fabric-finishing samples. In classifying fiber characteristics contractile fiber and ultra-fine fiber Shingosen fabrics show smaller values of Ddthan irregular fiber fabrics.
