The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-02-24

There are no marked changes made
In cutting gentlemen's clothing, though
p%antaloons are narrower than those Of
last season, and all coats are shorter,
including the Prince Albert frOck coats,
dress coats, morning ~cut-aways. sacks,
and also ~overcoats. The suits for bust
ness, travelling or morning wear are
made entirely from one piece of English
or Scotch suiting, in noat plaids, checks
or mixtures of colors. The coat may
be q sack with one or four buttons, or
an English cut-awav with the Same
number of buttons. Tie vest, cut high
like the coat, has n collar or not, ac-
cording 10 the fancy of the wcarer. The
trousers are very close fitting. The
semi-dress suit for church or afternoon
wear is really the day dress suit, as it is
worn to all entertainments given in the
daytime, such as afternoon teas, rccep-
tons and weddings. This suit consists
of a Prince Albert double breasted
frock coat of black or dark blue twilled
cloth-young men prefer dark blue with
marked diagonal lines; this cont is fin
ished with silk facings. and the vest of
the same cloth is cut very highto match
the coat, so that only very little of the
folded scarf is shown below the collar.
The trousers are made of heavy cloth
with dark, neat stripes, usually having
| a gray effect, but no special color pre-
| walls for these. Tho dress suit remains
unchanged in shape, except that the
| coats are shortened n tribe. The most
| glossy West of England brondcloth is
used for this swallow-tailed coat and
vest, which is cut low in front TO match
it, and these are the only garments now
made of b%roadcloth for men of fashion.
Silk facings may be used on such coats,
or they are omitted, rs the wearor di-
reefs. The narrow trousers are OF
heavier doeskin of the same lustrous
black used for tho coat. Young men
of fashion now wear this suit TO all en-
tertainments in the evening, putting it
on for 6 o'clock dinners, making even
ing calls in it, wearing it to the theatre,
where formerly it was seldom seen, and
going thence to receptions. Overcoats
are made of Elysians and fur beaver
cloths. and are most often sacks, slight
ly shorter than those Of last year, but
occasionally n surtout overcoat is or
dered. Blue, brown and black are the
colors used, without preference fol
either.
The shirt fronts chosen for all occa,
sions, for dress as well as for genera
wear, are of plain linen of three thick,
nesses, cut in shield shape, and without
any decoration in the way of pleats Of
embroidery. This shirt bosom is neve'
visible except with the low.cut 'front.'
