Stacks Are
Basis For
His Attire
Style Conscious Young Men
Will Want Suit For
Dress Up

For n action filled routine or
the young men returning to school
this fall, clothing manufacturer
have designed and produced sturdy,
fashion alert garments that will
please their sense of what is right
for them and also furnish the dur
ability in which parents have a
special interest.
The influence of big-brother who
is off 70 college, and who has some
mighty positive attitudes toward
what should be worn, is strong as
far as design of both grade and
high school boy attire. Essentially
the difference is only a matter of
size.
While Stacks, for example, may
be called the basis for the young
mans OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ward
robe, there also is a marked trend
toward fashion-rightness, neatness
and the we'll tailored look. This
dictates the need for a couple of
complete suits in the young mans
wardrobe, as well as the separates
that will be mixed for informality.
Tweeds Traditional
The traditional tweed suits, with
coats that can be double duty as
sports jackets, are again out in
front in all age groups, while the
smoother fabrics are chosen for
wear on dressier occasions.
The new Stacks feature side welt
seams and continuous waist bands
in fabrics and colors ranging from
the all time popular flannels
through glen plaids, worsteds,
tough gabardines and coverts
Stacks are so important, of course,
because they typify for grade
schooler, high schooler and college
man alike, the informality of attire
that all three like.
With them they will need a va
riety of shirts, some of the color
full sports types Boosting huge
pockets and available in all
weights of fabrics, and also the
simple tailored whites, which are
the backbone of any wardrobe for
either a big or little man.
Sweaters and Jackets
Another all important item for
the young man going back to class
is the sweater, and preferably sew
eral of them in a couple of differ
ent weights. Choosing them to
please the lad, as V neck slipovers
permitting his collar and bright
tie to blaze forth, or as an easy
to-put-on cardigan that he'll pro-
baby like as a background for his
school letter.
Sports coats and leisure coats
likewise are favorites and i'm
mensely useful garments for the
high school lad and the young COL
lege man. Sports coats run to the
three button type this year and
you can almost name your own
choice of c%olors, plaids or plain
colors. The corduroy jacket, so
durable and masculine looking is
another for serious consideration.
Boys of any age will go for the
belted finger-tip length outer coats
with their notched mouton collars, J
storm tabs on sleeves and their
herman appearance. Once the
young man gets into one, try to
pry him loose from it. 1t will be
a favorite, warm and long lasting.
The upper front wind breakers
usually available in water repel-
lent materials are wind defying
garments all school lads, no mat
ter what age, like immensely.
They are action free and usually
have just the right kind of deep
pockets the fully equipped, fancy
free young male wants.
Back to school wardrobes for
young men of all ages present a
selection of outer garments this
year, that afford the widest pos
;ible selection.
