Abstract: A pile fabric includes a long pile portion and a short pile portion. An average pile length of the long pile portion differs from an average pile length of the short pile portion by 2 mm or more. The long pile portion contains crimped polyester-based fibers in an amount of 60% by weight or more. The short pile portion contains crimped polyester-based fibers in an amount of 60% by weight or more. A crimp removal temperature of the polyester-based fibers of the long pile portion is lower than a crimp removal temperature of the polyester-based fibers of the short pile portion. The crimp removal temperature of the polyester-based fibers of the short pile portion is 90° C. or more and 120° C. or less. Each of the crimp removal temperatures indicates a minimum temperature that satisfies a specific relationship. A method for manufacturing the pile fabric is also provided.

Abstract: An antibacterial artificial hair of the present invention includes an artificial hair and organic resin particles adhering to the artificial hair. The organic resin particles are powdered fine particles including an organic resin and an aluminum salt that is chemically bonded to the organic resin. An antibacterial coating agent for artificial hair of the present invention is used for an artificial hair and obtained by dispersing the organic resin particles in an aqueous medium. The presence of the organic resin particles including the aluminum salt not only provides the luster and texture similar to those of human hair, but also imparts the antibacterial properties.
