ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESS.

For morning frocks, the Brighton beaver or Harrington is
the most fashionable ; they are bound round with Prussian
binding, velvet lappels and fringe are absolutely necessary.
The most prevailing colours are black, blue. and, mulberry.
In dress coats there is no particular alteration; skirts are
worn as small, and collar as short as last month. In brown
and olive lappelled coats, white or gilt buttons are becoming
general.
Morning waistcoats are mostly of the Thibet shawl, or silk
swansdown, made double-breasted, with large lappets to button
over. Dress waistcoats are single-breasted, with full rolling
collars ; the most fashionable materials are silk and figured
velvet.

For morning trousers there is a variety of new patterns in
broad and narrow stripes in kerseymere.
GREAT COATS.—They are trimmed for the most part with
two rows of buttons. They cross very little in front; the
skirts are long and lined throughout; the pockets placed bias
in the front of the skirts are always fashionable; some are
made with flaps upon the hips. These observations apply to
morning coats only.
As for those worn in out-door dress, and properly called
great coats, they have always a broader lappel, and a collar
that fastens in front; they fasten down the front by straps at-
tached on the inside. These coats have a doublepigtire at the
edges, the seams of the body, sleeves, &c. &c., are piquges
plat and with doublepiqfires also. We see somelikewise that
have the body divided across by a piqiere similar to that of the
shape, and forming a point in the centre of the back. There
'are also great coats with the skirt plaited at the side of the hip;
and the sleeve also plaited at the shoulder.
COATS.—They are of two kinds—dress and fancy. Fancy
Coats are made in cloths of different colours : those called
Robert-le-Diable, Dap de Moire, and bronze antique have an
elegant effect. Skirts of a large size, and a collar either cleft,
or of the shawl kind, are most in favour for those coats.
BurroNs FOR FANCY COATS.—Those of the sugar loaf shape
cut in a new style are very fashionable. Bjjou buttons are still
more stylish, but their extravagant price makes them little
worn ; they are adopted by some ezquisites for black dress coats.
WAISTCOATS.—Those made to button from bottom to top are
the most fashionable, there are some also which only button
as high as the shoulder; the top turns over by a straight fold,
which comes no further than the front of the shoulder; the

s
~,

hind part of the collar does not turn back. Light coloured
cashmere waistcoats are always edged with black.

NEW MATERIALS FOR WArsrcoars.—Cashmeres are de-
cidedly the most fashionable. Next comes the duvet oriental,
which is just introduced; it has a very thick ground with a pat-
tern figured in relief. There are also a great many fancy silk
articles, of which we shall probably take further notice, when
we have ascertained that they are either fashionable, or likely
to become so.

Some cashmere waistcoats have already appeared, the ground
is aventurine, thickly covered with a small pattern. These
waistcoats are of the shawl kind, trimmed with two rows of
buttons, and edged with narrow black ribbon. We have re-
marked also some light blue cashmere waistcoats of the shawl
form, trimmed with small gilt cut buttons.
PANTALOONS:—Those open before with small or large pants,
are equally in favour. Bands on the'sides, whether they are of
velvet, galoon, passepoil or cloth, 'are equally fashionable. We
may cite for trimmings of that kind, a broad silk galoon with a
piping at each edge, leaving a strip of cloth between the galoon
and the piping. Another trimming is formed of a band of
cloth cut crosswise.
