CUFF BooTLEoGERs

This cuff-on-trouser argument Is
just about over. Some men are
still demanding cuffs. but more
males are flocking in to have
cuffs removed from last years
models.
The fact Is the new style Is
perfect and within a few months a
man will look slightly out OF date
with cuffs on his trousers.
But those who want cuffs are
adsmant. Some of these clients
ask for the leftover strip so ma
can sew EN- on"
Most OF these complaints have
come from men who have been
buying cuffless pants from ready
made clothing stores, where the
cuff ban became effective last
March 30.
The tailors we're given until May
30, originally. to stop cutting
pants. but this order has been
clarified. No trousers may be
delivered with cuffs after May 30.
But here's the reason It might
be well TO settle the whole thing
quickly; The War Production
Board has announced that boot.
leggers OF cuffs are liable to a
10000 fine and year in prison.
That means that man who
sevs his own pants cuff back on
after May 30 will be a bootlegger.
