There Is very little change IL xl,s2
style Of mems clothes for this winter.
The rivalry SIN continues between the
double-breasted frock coat and the cut
away. The double breasted frock, or
Prince Albert, seems to be holding IL
own comfortably. Stout neshy men,
who know when they have good
thing. stick to it IN spite Of all the rid
ioule cast on its ungainliness and crin-
oline-like qualities. Cheviots and
diagonals in dark colors are used for
frock coats this fall.
The coat buttons close to the body
and the inner faces are lined with silk
as far as the button-holes- The edges
are finished with narrow, fat bind-
ing. The waistcoat scarcely shows.
the coat buttoning high. Light-col-
ored. striped or plaid trousers are worn
with Prince Albert, This coat Is good
for any morning or afternoon use, but
is no more appropriate or dressy ut
any time than cutaway. No young
man. certainly, should wear Prince
Albert.
The three button cutaway is perhaps
the most popular Of all the coats now
made. 1t can be. used for half-dress
wear or for business. This difference
should be insisted upon, however. Tho
cutaway for business wear is generally
made of rough cloth, and should ale
ways have flaps at the waist seams;
the half-dress coat never has the flaps.
There is almost no change in the shape
of the three-button cutaway. Some
four-button coats are made now, and 3
one-button one is now on the plates in
the shops. The materials used for
getaways this winter are worsteds,
cheviots and diagonals.
The coats for business wear may be-
made in checks and stripes as dazzling
as tents players blazer. and some Of
the combinations of coats, waistcoats
and trousers already turned out are
likely to melt the snow along the avenue
next February. Striped, plaid or check
trousers, the lighter the color the bet
ter, are to be worn with these cut
Always.
Sack coats for winter are cut much
the same as the summer ones were,
and except that the cloth is heavier,
one can scarcely notice any difference.
The widest kind of patterns in plaids,
stripes and checks are still in favor,
and il the fashion-makers can help it,
there will be few men dressed in black
seen in the streets this winter. It is
not at all necessary to have ones trou-
sers match even a sack coat. Any one
piece of clothes may be worn with any
other, and wardrobe can thus be
easily expanded in a sort of geometri-
cal progression. Waistcoats are made
up in all sorts of rough, light-colored
goods, and some of the patterns are
almost as daring and at the same time
as dazzling as the skirts of the ballet
dancers in Nero"
For light overcoat the Chester
field, or fy-front sack, is the only
style really in the field. This coat is
rather close fitting one, reaches
nearly to the knees and rolls open in
front, showing silk facings to the butt
ton-holes. The heavy sack overcoats.
both single and double-breasted, will
be shaped much like the Chesterfield.
A few long frock overcoats are still
turned out for extreme weather. They
have been largely supplanted. how
ever, by the cape overcoats of fancy
suitings. The cape has come to stay
for awhile, apparently, though this
climate in winter is too uncertain for
SO heavy and cumbersome an over
garment. A single breasted sack
overcoat is good investment for or.
binary winter use.-N =. Herald.
