Many Styles i'm Winter Coats
Winter coats, most essential in tho
feminine wardrobe, are offered to
us in divers styles. For sports, street
and travel coats are made of novelty
sports wool fabrics which include
ombre plaids and fancy weaves. They
follow the popular tubular mode,
have patch pockets and are trimmed
with badger, Jap fox, wolf, belly
squirrel and raccoon.
One brown and tan plaided fabric
coat had full length tuxedo collar
cf rock sable and huge patch pockets.
Black and white, and brown and
tan, in paids are strong. Reds. greens
and browns are popular in the novelty
weaves.
For afternoon and dress wear, coats
are made of pile and suede finished
fabrics. They are made in straight
line, wrappy and bloused back models
with set in. kimono and dolman
sleeves. Furs used are Kolinsky
mink, beaver, fox, mole and squirrel
Gray Suede Fabric Liked
A very smart coat made of gray
suede fabric had blouse back, straight
front ana kimono sleeves. The sleeves
and lower part of the front and back
of the garment were embroidered in
a darker shade of gray. The coat,
was topped with a large gray fox
collar.
Also being shown are several mod
els in reversible coats. These are
made on the tubular lines, of flat
pelt furs and wool fabrics. The
outstanding colors for afternoon wraps
are channel rouge, willow green, shell
bark tan, Jap ivy, brown and black
other Fabrics. New and Smart
There is a fine wool velours, very
soft and velvety in appearance that
lends itself beautifully to the inter-
pretation of the more formal winter
coats. 1t is particularly lovely in the
wine reds, deep nut brown tones and
the grayish green's SO much in favor.
Many of the new novelty weaves
have a rough heavy aspect-with
knotted or nubbed surface-these are
especially well adapted to use in
sport coats.
There are also canvas Weaves-some
in a tapestry effect that is very
striking. There are fabrics that have
their Inspiration in the primitive
weaves of north Africa. They have
an irregular texture and are woven
in wide bands of different colors-in
an effect of hand weaving.
Reps, too, are smart, and they, too,
have this irregular surface, caused
Ribbed woolens with big velvcty ribs
are stunning for tailored coats-par-
ticularly in combination with the
harder furs, such as raccoon or
nutria
Tucking that is part of the fabric !
is also a feature of the newer tex
tiles. The tucks give an effect OF
heavy threads through the fabric,
crosswise, and are grouped in bands
or used singly at intervals.
Evening wraps of sumptuous met
allie brocades and chiffon velvets are !
made on lines identical to the after t
noon coats. The more luxurious furs,
such as sable, chinchilla, ermine and
fox are used. One wrap of canary
colored chiffon velvet had wide XII !
mono sleeves, bloused back and was
trimmed with cordings. The unique
part of the wrap lies in the fact
that the fox collar was dyed to match
the color of the velvet.
SO things go on. What Will be
the next change in fashion?
It is seldom one ever hears of q speed
fiend being on his way to church.
