Suits will continue to be cuffless
and pleatlesr in, both single and
double-breasted models. In the
double-breasted models they . will
continue -to be vestl ess 'also. In
the single-breasted they will con
tinue to lack the once popular
second pair of pants in the.low-

There Is even the possibility that
the amount of new wool available
!or men's wear fabrics for fall and
winter of 1943 .may be greater
than It was for the fall and winter
of 1942. Hie greatest changes in
the men's wear picture for spring
wiQ not be so much in suits and
topcoats but more in sweaters and
furnishings.. ' ., . ,
Noticeable throughout the coun
try will be the return of odd vests.
These win be plain, "fancy or
white. This item of men's . wear,
once "high fashion" in the gay
90s, made its reappearance dur
ing, the past winter for two rea
sons: (1) As a supplement to the
Vestless double-breasted suit worn
in offices made cooler than nor
mal because of the fuel oil short
age; (2) because it added a dash
cf color to the "conservative
trend in men's suits. It will con-
inue to be worn through the
spring for the same two reasons

March IS brought that home with
p real impact It will also be
brought heme by the disappear
ance of many types and designs of
clothing and furnishings.' As we
go on in Che second year of war
every line nasi been stripped to
the bare essentials.' . The reasons
are many; -chief among them be
ing: (1) -Shortage of manpower
and the conversion of peace-time
industry to wartime production.
(2) Actual -shortage of materials
needed in ffee making of war sup
plies. Further restrictions are expect
ed in -the color of shoes; also in
the colors and weaves of neckties.

Hat Tips for
Spring '43
Highlights of new spring hats
for men are these: There is good
variety both in style and color.
A man Is sure to find a lightweight
felt that will look smart and new.'
All the popular , colors are back
many Shades of gray, brown, J
blue and- green. One of the most
widely used forms of trim is the
gxosgrain-bound brim.
The use of brim binding and
band in shades that form a light
contrast to the felt, makes for an
ffect that' is especially pleasant
in . the spring. For it lightens 'and
brightens without being "fancy."
This light contrast trim is rapidly
gaining in popularity.
. Brim widths are about the same,
a little narrower in some cities.
New sport hats come in cloth and
felt to complement the casual
sports clothes that men are wear
ing today mora than yer before.
Many workers in war plants wear
slacks and sports jackets to work,
and with them, felt hats in rough
suede finishes, and cloth hats of
water-repellent i gabardines are
smart and comfortable.

Clothes Care
I For a man to get the most in

his wardrobe, it is now more im
portant than ever . that he take
proper; care : of s precious woolen
suits and topcoats. Adherence to
a few commonplace rules will con
tribute l immeasurably to a good
appearance and help prolong the
wearing life of apparel,
' Suits and topcoats respond
handsomely to consistently good

obstacle and source of soiling. At
no wearing should pockets . be
overloaded with books, papers and
other bulky paraphernalia, which
strain the fabric and pull it out

remain, will deteriorate even the
best of woolens. While about the
business of brushing, it is .wise and
in the best interests of ward
robe life to do an efficient job of
it. Pockets should be turned in
side out and brushed; and seams
and . 'trouser cuffs (on pre-war
suits) should also be given special
attention with an inquiring whisk
broom. When brushed free of all
foreign substances, suits and top
coats should be hung on a wish
bone type shoulder-shaped hanger
... trousers by the bottom on
hangers especially made for the
purpose. Enough room should be
allowed in the closet so that
clothes are not crowded out of
shape. If the garment is wet, let
it dry thoroughly before hanging
it in the closet
Accidents will happen, even to
the best of suits and the most care
ful of owners. When tears and
burns occur, the suit should be
immediately re-woven by an ex
pert. Small breaks or worn places
may be darned with threads rav
