In New Casual Wear Colors

Clothes for relaxatioon time arel
apidly becoming the new mid-cen-
tury necessity. Men work to sup-j
port their leisure, and they have
more to enjoy.
What was needed was clothing
that would look right and bright
for casual social meetings, a.;
when neighbors come over to sec
a television spectacular.
On these occasions most men
would think of their wool tweed
port coats and gray flannel
slacks. But since the trend in sport
coat fabrics has brought forth rich,
somber -wools in subdued textures i
these would be too formal.
Introduce Shirt jacket
The major innovation for relax
ation time is the shirt-jacket. The
shirt-jacket is made of bright pat
terned shirting flannel and js cu'.
in a casual jacket style. It brings;
back plaids to men's wear in a bis
way.
The shirt-jacket is just the an
swer for casual winter leisure ac
tivity. It is cut with a square bot
tom similar to a sport shirt, A-ith
vents at the side seams. There is
a generous notch collar and four
pockets, made, with decorative
frame seaming. The sleeves are
fastened with' a storm tab.
Lively Wool Plaids
The soft, warm wool flannel o'
these shirt-jackets appears in a
handsome group of new plaids.
Lighter colors and bolder contrasts
make 'these sure to draw com
ments and compliments.
For instance, where the old fa
vorite plaid woo! flannel shirt of
past years would have a dominant
strong color, such as red, the
plaids of the new shirt-jacket make
much use of white as a background
color. The plaid itself may be in
navy and green.
New wool leisure shirts and
sweaters have latitude of styling,
and many fit the mood of relaxa
tion fun. Variations on the plaid
pattern are much used. Darker
color combinations are new, and
curly boucle (boo-clay) yarns form
the plaid design in some.
One outstanding shirt for any
time of the year is made of un
usually sheer wool crepe. The fab
ric is a four-ounce -weight, while
the usual wool flannel shirting
weighs nine ounces a yard, tt is
made in a broad range of clear
solid colors and provides light
warmth and the smart good look3
expected of wool.
New Wool Sweaters
Men's wool sweaters for fall in
clude some tricky patterns de
signed to make the shoulders 'ook
broader. Patterns include a Scan
dinavian design set horizontally or
In a shallow V across the chest
The crew nock, a low turtleneck, Is
a now treatment that permits the
sweater to bo worn without a tie
but does not -have the warm-up
look of the turtleneck.
Riding Influence
On Coats Noted
Despite a long decline in the
horse population, the sport of rid
ing is by no means dying out.
Stable owners report a recent
rise in the number of riders, and
the cut of riding clothes has even
influenced men's sport coats.
The typical "hacking coat" is
styled for practicality as well as
tor a good appearance "ahorse."
It is made of a firmly-woven aooI
tweed, for wool takes the strains
and wear of riding and looks smart
for the sport.
There are double vents iu the
coat skirt to permit It to fall over
the saddle. The lower pocket open
ings are slanted to allow access
with the arms bent to hold the
reins.
The rakish lines of the hacking
coat have been adapted for men's
sport coats. Pockets details and
the more formal cut of the rider's
coat look well afoot as well
ahorse.
There are 2796 languages spoken
n the world.
Men Will Get Still Lighter Wool Fabrics
"Keeping up with the times" is
a virtue everyone expects of in
dustry and tukes fur grunted.
A radical change in home appli
ances quickly becomes commoii
knowledge, but most people fail to
note the modernizing that goes on
in such basic need, as the tup

Around the 19O0',s, wool fabrics

would be a topcoat today weighed
some 22 ounces and overcoats were
an average of 30 ounces. In each
case the cloth was a foot narrower
than today's standard cloth width3.

The supple worsted wool topcoat:
fabrics for fall weigh what suits
used to 17 ounces to a broader
yard. New fall overcoats are made
of 20-22 ounce fabric, the weigiit
that was formerly for topcoats.
This steady lightening of wool
