not so pronounced in the medium

own-one really just as authoritative
as the metropolitan. All this has spe-

1t is called across the water, the lounge
suit. -'7'' .~ - )
While the style described may be

The innovation of the season is the
double breasted coat. The new Fall

that a proper appreciation of Norfolks
for a winter suit is growing. While
this coat has always been classed as

favor. 1t is considered an ideal style
for professional men. Rumor has IL
that this style will be worn by young
men possibly another season and some
are bold enough to think that the
vogue may even begin this Fall.
The double breasted style may be
had in either, with two buttons or
three buttons. In the three button
model, the roll lapel extends past the
top button SO that it is really intended
to be buttoned with two lower butt
tons. The most popular of these
models are semf-form fitting.
