coat does not extend more than about
five or six inches below the waist line.

ished cloth of a lighter shade than the
dark check OF the material, and the lower
edge is slashed up bit, the vest is bit
loose In the center front or rather forms
a loose section some five inches in ALL

half-inch projection of the checked coat.
This loose waistcoat gives the straight eff
