FASHIONS FOR MEN.
The Raglan Again.
While there are many who actually
trOWn down on style innovations and the
changes OF one season to another, there
are many more who tor a variety of per-
Sonal and business reasons prefer to vary
the lines of their apparel with constant
~ new features. This latter class forms
the bulk of up-to-date American busI-
ness men who in many respects are style
leaders for the world.
Take the ordinary business sack as an
example. Two seasons ago American
designers heightened this garment far
below what we had been wearing. Some
extremists made it so long that it looked
like a semi-frock. Last year the tenden-
cy started to again shorten the sack, al
WHICH time European tailOrs adopted i'll
modified form the long, bOXey sack and
this year, with the long coat almost en-
tlrely back number here, it blossoms
forth in continental dress circles as 1T.
Again, the same thing occurs in the
raglan. American dressers a few sea-
sons back introduced that form of the
raglan which later found popularity on
European soil. And now, as mid-winter
oyercoat style development, the very
foremost American tallors are bringing
out a revival of the raglan with broad
box pleats, front and back, ending in a
sewn-on belt and below skirt of eX-
traordinary fullness. Popular approval,
however, still rests with the form-ftting
overcoat. The Chesterfield this year has
two expressions, straight and semi-form-
fitting, the latter a pleasant modification
of the close body coat of last year. AS
long as the public cling to the oyercoatI
that partly or wholly fits the form the
full-skirted coat will remain as style
expression for ultra dressers, although
the common introduction of the latter
is considered but a matter OF time. 1t
has been said that the great and lasting
welcome accorded to that garment which |
Its the body, is due to the warmth it acc.
cords over the kidneys, which is one of
the severest arguments against the looser
OvercOat
Green in Hats and Gloves
In the matter of hats Europe found
King Edward royalty sanctioning the |
IyrOlean hunting headpiece for sporting
wear. American matters saw a wider
scope than was permitted in the foreign
creation and today are experimenting
and bringing forth in a way that has
already won no little approval from
those dressers first to adopt new style
kinks green hats i'll great variety. In
but few cases, however, has the Euro |
pean clear green effect been reproduced.
Domestic ingenuity has diverted the
green to q mere suggestion i'll mixture
with tans, grays and browns. Gloves, |
too, have undergone a similar revision
and on the nattiest counters it will not
be hard to discern the green tinge i'll
gray mOchaS and even on tan effects.
Waistcoat, Shirt and Tie, ALI Pleated.
Waistcoats have become an especially |
American field for ingenuity, as noticed !
particularly in semi-formaI and ful-for-
NAL dress. The very latest mode for
full dress is to have the fabric pleated |
three or four times on each side of the |
buttons running vertically, of course.
For semi-formal evening wear full |
vertically pleated waistcoats are new to
this season and the pleat effect has been |
from WaistcOat to tie and shirt. |
The very foremost dress leaders not only |
pleat these three articles of wear, but |
make them of the same fabric, Worsted |
silk OF white diamond pique.
Color-M Matching Jewelry.
In the matter of jewelry Paris must |
be given her due as having originated |
the pace now followed by correct dress
erS here. Paris jewelers. began making |
sets of ornaments of Semi-pre- |
cious stones; stones that formerly were |
not considered of special worth. These |
stones were found to be in so many diff
ferent shades of cOlOrS that practically |
any fabric could be perfectly matched. |
L
the style in mems attire and United |
States pacemakers in dress ethics were |
not slow to follow. The custom has as |
sumed a very wide vogue and is the cor
rect thing for mems adOrnment. Beng |
within reach of the man of moderate |
means has assisted greatly in spreading |
the vogue. The idea also conforms to |
the still popular and growing vogue OF
matching cOlOrS in the various aces |
series. such as shirt, handkerchief, hose,
scarf and sometimes, gloves, suspendefs
and keep it under your hat-for the pub |
lie hasn't heard about it yet-some men
will surely carry this scheme to their
straw hats next summer. Many retail
hatters have bought straws-both fine
splits and coarser sennits, in medium !
crown and brim-with band, swaziland
and binding, no less. all IN the same
solid, plain color. Of course, they run
the gamut of shades and for the modish |
dresser who carefully matches his aces
series the addition of the straw head
piece with trimming in shades to har-
monte will prove quite hobby.
House Coat and Vest to Match.
A house coat combination introduced
with the holidays consists of the regula-
ton house coat with its long shawl col
lar faced with heavy corded silk when
the body material is silk, or with CON
trasting color cloth when made OF cloth,
the edges bound with fancy SILK coru-
and waistcoat to match. Sometimes a
self figure is nobility introduced. This
combination also brings into use new
series of heavy silks peculiarly adapted
to this class of garments, producing a
rich indoor effect.
The New Style Muffler.
Since the REFER form of full dress muf-
fer came into vogue several styles have
been introduced, varying from the plain
strip cut from a bolt of silk to the knit !
variety in brilliant color effects. But the
latest in the swell shops is specially
loomed REFER longer and wider than any
of the other types, measuring yard and
a half in length and a yard in width and
having deeply fringed ends. The new
REFER is shown in white, cream, black
and colors with all-over patterns. 1t is
worn folded several times, like the regu
lation REFER. but its ampler proportions
give the wearer greater protection and
yet the tissue is so light and flmy as to
