Shirt waists for men, garments
which will permit men to walk the
streets without being encased in coats
and vests, which will command the
respect of all and appeal directly to
the millions of sweltering individuals
who have CRASHED their teeth and wept
because of fashions decree that COM
pels them to appear n coat, no mat
ter what the temperature, everywhere
except in bed-such a garment, such a
boon to the suffering musculinity,
such Knockout blow for the coat
makers, is to be tried on in Minneapo-
lis.
The masculine shirt waist struck
Gotham several weeks ago, not ali of
heap, but in spots. Young men in
troduced the fashion by dropping into
the city from Newport attired in a
soft white shirt, sans starched bosom,
sans suspenders, sans big, clumsy cuffs,
sans opening in the back, but not sans
tails. The tail of the shirt remains,
but the remainder of the garment re-
sembles closely the feminine shirt
waist. OF course, when worn by a
man, it has very different appear
ance. the cut, shape and fit being al
together different, but the fundamental
idea is the same in both.
A clothing salesman for a New York
firm, displayed two of the new tangled
shirt waists at local hotel recently.
They are patterned after those worn
by the seaside young men ON their &C.
casional trips to town when they
they seem to think everything is per-
missible. The garments look like
ordinary negligee shirts, except that
the bosoms are pleated clear across the
front-not in an effeminate, dainty
style, but in bold, substantial man
ner, as if to emphasize the difference,
so to speak. The waists are of one
color, without figures and the cuffs,
which are short and close to the wrists,
are not starche1. There is a
pocket on the left side low down and
to one side, so that the pleated front
retains it's beauty. There is really
nothing very novel or striking about
the AFFAIRS" except that they are
called shirt waists, instead of shirts"
mems shirt waists to be worn with
out coats or vests. The new gar
ments have come to stay it is affirmed
and all the prejudice in the world
cannot keep men and boys in coats
and vests on a hot day after this sea-
SON But little Roadway has been made
in introducing the new wrinkles, be-
cause the idea did not get started
east until late, but next year, look
out for them.
Dozens of prominent New Workers
have sworn to discard their heavy
coats, and light coats, too, next season,
and give the waist makers chance to
see what they can do. The waists are
not expected to put the coat and vest
entirely out of business, but merely to
hang them on the hook during the hot
days of summer. In the evening, a
light coat, double breasted, and Of
some dark material, will be worn with
the waists.
Many of the silk shirt fronts which
have been noticed in show windows
for two or three seasons back, give a
good idea of the new waists, which
are really not waists at all, but simply
a pleated, abbreviated shirt, of one
color, preferably white or cream color.
