The Greeley tribune., 1906-03-15

cially designed for such men. The
name isn't very business like, but
the suit is. It's a modification OF
the frock coat: single breasted, cut
away in the front just little. 1t
has the side pockets and other con-
veniences of the sack suit; and looks
very dressy. For business, then,
wear the sack suit, single or double
breasted, or the walking frock.
You can decide for yourself whether
your business and your duties in it
will justify the dignity Of the frock.
With the sack or business frock a
| fancy waistcoat may be worn: your
/ own taste and common sense will de-
termine just how fancy it shall be.
1t may be of a washable material or
not, as you prefer, but would
strongly recommend fancy vest as
it adds to the appearance of the suit.
Much liberty is also allowed in the
matter of shirts with business
clothes. The fancy ''negilee' ana
stiff bosom are most worn, the
negilee being the most popular as it
is far more comfortable, especially
| for hot weather wear. The best
dressed men assert the cuffs must be
attached: they declare this is the
only strictly proper form. You will
see a good many we'll dressed men
who do not submit to this rule; they
wear detached cuffs without ap-
parent otfense.
You can use your own judgment
as to the style of collar to wear for
business: you will see all styles.
The turnover" collar, however, is
really the best for comfort and style,
especially is hot weather. Consider
able variety is observed also in neck
wear for business. Tecks, putfs,
four-in hands, bows-they are all
worn by careful dressers, and are all
considered proper.
AS for shoes the proper thing is a
matter much neglected, often by
men who are otherwise very parti-
cular. Any we'll kept shoe is suit
able for business wear; laced or but
toned, high or. low; plain black
leather, patent or enamel, or tan
russia; if your shoes fit and look fit,
they are all right.
To go from foot to head, there is
much variety permitted in hats for
business wear; derby, fedora and in
hot weather, straw-any of these
may be worn with propriety, for
business.
Afternoon Dress.
Strict prOpriety requires man to
wear double breasted black frock
coat for all dress up occasions in the
afternoon.
The details of afternoon dress are
very exact, and if you want to do
the proper thing you must observe
them strictcly. Double breasted
black frock coat, fancy will not do !;
trousers of a different material, light
colored; white shirt. standing collar,
puff tie, either white or some light
shade; waistcoat like coat, or some
fancy material, usually white wash
able goods; shoes, patent leather,
either high button, or in suitable
weather, low shoes, either button or
lace: and a silk hat, always; no
other than a silk hat will do with a
frock coat. Gloves should always be
worn with afternoon dress: the style
in gloves change from season to sea-
son. Dealers of good standing know
what is correct.
Evening Dress.
There was a time when a full
dress suit was considered luxury,
especially by the man who didn't
own one. A decided change has
taken place, however; the luxuries
of yesterday have become the neces-
stiles of today: the evolution of
clothes making has changed condi-
tions great deal, SO that man can
slip into clothing store and buy,
ready to put on, clothes which are
as stylish and we'll made as the GUS
tom tailor can produce. This is as
true Of the full dress suit as any
other, and when to this fact Is added
] the moderate price at which such
