the man whom Nature has endow-
ed with an athletic figure and also
to the man whose clothes must
| supplement Natures lapses by
molding a figure for him through
the artificial graces which good
tailoring so often applies.
The point Is this: The styles this
season demand trimness OF lines.
natural shoulders, definition oil
chest. waist and hips and even
more graceful tapering Of the trouser
leg than has been evident In recent
season.
In suits these characteristics are
noted both in single and double
breasted models. For the more con
sentative dresser there are still some
straight-front, straight-drape mod
els shown in the expectation that
older men will prefer this type o.
coat largely because they offer more
comfort and roominess. These coats
are chiefly In the three-button
single breasted models with notch
lapels.
However. the younger men, the
college and club type OF dresser will
"go for" these trimmer models be-
cause they surely do add more grace
and youthfulness TO the figure.
In the suits the most fashionable
fabrics in the order OF their pre-
sumed popularity are tweeds. twists
cassimeres. worsteds, cheviots. flar
nels and serges. In colors. greys still
have the lead. "a carry-over from
summer. Greens are showing great
strength in Eastern fashion circles
Stripes In Good Taste
There is no prescribed type OF
pattern as having preference over
others OF last season. Stripes will be
good. O~verplaids, small checks and
Grenurquharts are mostly shown In
the finer lines.
In the business suits small figured
worsteds and mixture effects In cas-
simeres. tweedS and cheviotS have
the call.
College styles for fall present q
distinct vogue in themselves by the
introduction Of certain details and
novelties that will be confined /,
college clothes at least for the early
part Of the season.
TattersaIl Vest Returns
Highlights in this type OF styling
presents a considerable popularity
toward double breasted suits. car
extre Re style among these is a one
button double-breasted). Also thert
seems to be a strong trend for the
return or the Tatersall Vest. ii. thai
straight across cut at the bottom
that had so much popularity a few
seasons ago. Light. and apple green
and bottle green in suits is another
college venture.
Then. also. shepherd checks are
predicted "a style emanating from
the fact that The Prince or Wales
has been seen a great deal lately ir
his type Of pattern.
Vents are seen in coats more than
heretofore. Pleats at the apron o.
the trousers are receding in popu-
larity but will hang on this season
vet in young mems suits. Oxfords
and Cambridge grey are leader
amongs the grey family. many OF
these in just the plain color mixture
effect.
Guard Type OF Overcoat
Topcoat and overcoat styles for
the Fall and Winter OF ie3O-3I are
along the same lines. BY that we
mean what you'll see in the top
coat models now you'll see contin-
ued IN the overcoat styles later.
Double breasted styles are ccrsid-
erably to the fore and most of these
are more form fitting than we have
seen since the passing Of the
Guard coat a few seasons back.
In fact the new models are very
closely allied to the Guard" type
OF coat. broad shoulders, deeD
chest, tapered waist and a BIT Of
Hare at the hip. Peak lapels on
these are moderately broad but not
long. This Is the young mans dress
coat Of the season.
For knockabout purposes two
styles present themselves. IN the
topcoat a semi-box effect with half
belt at back and made of camel's
hair or shetland or other fleeces.
These fleeces are also shown TO
some extent in the raglan model.
The other style Is more inherent
In the o~vercoatS. This coat also
comes In the fleecy fabrics mention
ed above or in heavy woods such as
chinchillas. Scotches. and heavy
weight tweeds. IL Is double breast
ed and has either the belt az the
back or the ~all-around belt that
loops in front. IL is a hybrid be-
tween the burly box and the ulster.
Then there will be the shorter box
coats In both single and double
breasted models In the shorter
coats OF this type a great MANY CO.
verts are being shown.
The Chesterfield coat which has
Mt promised much In recent seasons
is more favorably considered this
year. Many fine models are being
shown In the smarter lines. They
are single breasted, fly front, tube
models with either velvet or self
collar.
The Raglan coat, In contrast 10
TIE Chesterfield, has been predicted
as q leader for several seasons, but
y never seems to quite catch on with
the better dressers. II Is still being
shown and much mentioned in the
forecasts but We believe IL will not
gain many new followers beyond the
limited coterie that for some reason
or other like this type OF coat.
Returning TO the subject Of the
Guard coats we believe you are goinr
to see a lot Of them OF fine blue
grey and brown chinchillas this win
ter. Also those that can afford then
will wear these fitted styles in fine
MontagnacS but inasmuch as a rea'
