S till, i t ’s d iffic u lt to project long-range trends in menswear Taste in men s clothing is more fragmented than ever, which is a good deal for the customer, the guy who has to wear the dry goods turned out by the world’s designers and man ufacturers. This means that nobody can point a finger at a man and tell him he's not wear ing the ‘‘right’’ outfit for the occasion Unless he shows up at his grandmoth er’s funeral in something better suited for a date at an X-rated movie house Change has come over the years and. along the way. much of the junk has been d is c a rd e d fro m m ensw ear o ffe r in g s Doubtless more junk will be introduced - some in every season — but it doesn't last long Thus, in the search for something different from the button down look of the AOs, a lot of trash has been thrown out Among the casualties is the once popular double knit Baseball players still are wearing double knits (you II still see some double knits at a few stores at greatly reduced prices* But the hard, plastic looking all polyester dou ble knits which can be picked out in a crowd (rom a low flying plane are fall mg from popularity at Wach speed Going or gone with them are leisure suits, which someday will be right up there with the Kdael, cran hemes and the Nehru jack et as one of the losers of the postwar era. Gone also are wide neck ties and lapels that once threatened to force a man to tack so that he could make headway Into the wind Shirt collar» have thinned, too Three color shoes also Classified: 667*6633 have gone the way of the dodo bird and the Indian head penny, in favor of more quiet footwear and heels that aren t stacked so high (Sorry, little fellow ) Replacing these goodies are practical fabrics which have the look and feel of the real thing Items like wool-blend suits and jack ets. cotton blend shirts and pants which do not need ironing and multi-blends such as flax, cotton, linen, silk and polyester. Thus, the now popular natural nubby look appears very authentic Lapels and neckties have been slimmed to reduce flapping in the breeze The change is subtle — in frac tions of inches — but ap parent when the old and new are seen side by side V e rs a tility is e v e ry where, even in the business suit Major firms such as Sears and Levi Strauss now are offering suit pieces separately, so that our man may choose his jacket, vest and pants as he wishes, also mixing and matching as he -tees fit " It ’s kind of amazing that the menswear Indus try has taken this long to latch onto the idea of sepa rate components for men s suits,'' said Paul Rogers, a man who travels the world as Sears chief menswear taste arbiter. “After all. the idea isn't new Separates have been a p a r t of the w o m en 's sportswear scene since the early '70s and then moved on to men's sportswear some yean ago " The mix and match suit always has been a bargain lor the enterprising man He can select a suit with a jacket so that the jacket can double as a sportcoat to go w ith contrasting changes They mean that men s clothing lasts longer, looks better and that who ever does the family iron ing doesn t have to spend nearly so many long hours over the steaming board The blended fa b ric s range from suits to slacks to sweaters to underwear and even to blue jeans The chemists at Levi Strauss have been doing things to their denim We ve developed a trad itional looking jean that feels like all cotton, but it's a blend,” said Pat Gerber, of Levi This means that the jean lasts longer than all cotton We've even m anaged to m ake the blended jean fade and age just like its older cousin * Who can deny that natu ral aging is real progress, whether in champagne or blue jeans7 f J1R ROSIS - FRUIT TRIES - J1 F ROSIS - FRUIT TRIES — -”| Z " ROSIS _ FRUIT TREES — ------------------------------------------— -------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ROSIS ’ SPRING MEANS MORE AT STEVE’S More Value ...
