Should Prove Popular With Young Men, Haberdashers
Say-Soid Color Ties Favored This Spring.

A comparatively new creation in
these parts, which smacks of the
Ear East, Of India and Of Persia
soon will be introduced to Indian
apolis best dressers," local mer.
chants say.
rho Pugree hat band is the
Innovation and although old for some,
no doubt it will prove popular with
the young men, haberdashers say.
The Pugree is a wilde, brightly
colored, piece Of silk, punched to-
gether and wrapped around the
hat. A little twist on one side takes
the place Of the conventional bow.
For Drop Brim Style
Merchants have warned against
the wearing Of the band on stiff brim
hats. But the Pugree may be worn
jauntily on snap brim style or a
crush hat.
A few of the local shops are dis
playing the new style now, and later
on, as color blends are worked out,
the creation will become more
popular. it is thought. Colors are
chosen to match the hat.
Another spring style is the solo
color cravat. Green. brown, blue
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-04-23

and red are the outstanding shades
and they often have a delightful
and delicate shading to replace
striking designs.
Here again the freedom allowed
the man in selecting his ties Of solid
color often causes his downfall, mer-
chants say. All too numerous are
the youths strolling the streets
wearing, for instance, gray ties with
gray suits. A good tie and a beau
tiful suit are ruined as one of them
appears dirty" and weak toned.
Brown and blue suits take their
own colors, providing the shade Of
the cravat is vivid Several dis
plays of red ties with dark blue
suits have been made.
From Paris
New offerings in cravats from
Paris also are shown at local stores.
The innovations might be a trifie
expensive for the average man or
college boy, but the wearer will
be repaid in added service and dis.
Effectiveness, merchants say.
The new tie has no lining such as
is found in the American makes. and
is not machine made. The piece of
silk is laid out and cut. and one
piece Of silk lining of a different
color is sewed into the material. It
is then folded and hand-stitched. It
will not wrinkle.
Many beautiful Persian designs
that rival rare paintings by old mas
ters can be obtained. With each in
spection the tie assumes different
tones. The neckwear never loses its
snap.
Fashion dictators believe the new
styles will take the fancy Of the men
because they allow a greater range
in selecting blends Of the basic col
ors and more freedom in the shading
OF the delicate pastels.
