full without the fur A fur garment
must usually be substituted for 1t in
the coolest weather, so that 1t should
be regarded as a garment to be worn
for the milder winter weather and
between seasons.
The coats are many of them made
three-quarter length and have the
fashionable cutaway fronts. The
rounding of the fronts may occur well
toward the lower edge of the garment
or may continue up above the waist
line. This is decided by what is be-
coming to the individual. The bands
of the coats are cut in one piece,
there being only two seams, those
under the arms.
Materials for the top coats include
velour de laine, chinchilla, beaver
cloth, astrakhan cloth and numerous
other thick soft cloths, generally with
soft woolly surfaces. The garments
are much more universally becoming
than the polo coat Of last season.
