Revival Forecast

Suit Still
Primary
Investment
Although present prices make it
a top investment value, the suit is
still a man's primary clothing ex
penditure. A recent survey disclos
ed that the American man's aver
age annual investment in suits
equals his necktie purchases for
more than eight years, or his sock
purchases for six years.
Even though' he buys an aver-
ae of less than one-half a suit a
year, he Invests more in' It than
he does In handkerchiefs for 29
years, in shirts for 2 years, or
in hats for 5 years.'
Wives Go Along ,
Because he knows that the suit
is the most important single 'ele
ment, in his appearance, he wants
to give the most careful consider
ation to his selection. That's why
so many wives go along for . the
final approval.
If eventually he comes to regard
the suit he chose as unsatisfactory,
he may blame the retailer or the
manufacturer of the suit and he
may even .blame his wife. Usually,
however, most of the fault rests
with him.
For, when he selects a new suit.
two considerations beyond its im
mediate appearance will determine
the ultimate success of his pur
chase: (1) How is It made? (2)
Will It coordinate with the cloth
ing already in his wardrobe?
' The pattern and texture of the
fabric and : the style of the suit
are first in a man's mind when he
shops, but some knowledge about
the weaves' of cloth and the con
struction of clothing are essential
if he is to be certain of making
"tne Best buy."
Fabrics Listed
Suit fabrics fall into two cate
gories; Closely-woven, smooth-sur
faced fabrics which employ long,
fine fibers combed - parallel are
worsteds. In this class are serge,
gabardine and sharkskin, all re
nowned for long wear and wrinkle
resistance. Coarser, shorter fibers,
crisscrossed in the yarn are used
in the making of woolen fabrics.
as tweed. Shetland and homespun.
which are I known for their soft.
napped texture and their durability.
TOPCOATS ARE SHORTER
The shorter-length topcoat Is
a new trend this Fall. Many coats
are tailored only slightly longer
than knee-length, with lines that
give a mildly fitted appearance.

Patterns Seen
Sweaters This Fall
Always popular with men for
Fall and Winter, sweaters i are
winning an even bigger place in
this year's style spotlight, i
The wild patterns and startling
colors which together with high
prices frightened many men
from sweater counters a year ago
have given way to softer tones and
more subdued patterns. And, even
more important, prices of most
quality wool sweaters have moved
sharply : downward during : the
year.
From the style standpoint, men
will have wide choice between
new models and revivals of tradi
tional favorites. Both pullover and
button-front sweaters will enjoy
high favor, but the biggest, gains
in popularity, style experts say,
will be registered by turtleneck
models.
For those who prefer solid colors
and these men are in the major
ity long standing preferences for
navy blue, light blue, dark green,
brown and maroon will give way
to some of the newer shades; rust.
light tan, gray and heather mix
tures. A wide range of new, more mod
erate patterns is also much in evi
d e n c e, particularly jacquards,
large stripe effects and argyles.
The specialty fibers, cashmere,
camel's hair and lamb's wool will
be widely featured. .

Stormcaats in Tweeds
An interesting new development
in tODCoats is what mitrht h rail!
the enrichment of the stormcoat.
This eoat, which was popular for
years in me west tor farm wear
and use von the grange, came into
use on college campuses within the
the past five years. The first ver
sion to be seen on the campus us
ually had a cotton noDlin bodv with
alpaca pile lining and wool inter
lining, ine alpaca pile covered the
collar and lapels, serving essen
tially as a fur trimming.
Beginning last year and contin
uing strongly this Fall, the storm
coat has turned to woolens such
as subdued tweeds and to worsted
gabardine as a logically warmer,
more durable fabric.
New Topcoat Fastening
The concealed fastening of past
seasons' topcoats is giving way to
an open display of , the buttons.
Three- and four-horn buttons arc
used in the single-breasted topcoat
and overcoat models.
While raglan sleeves take first
nlace in the new tnnroats th in.
set sleeve is king in the overcoats.
