TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, January 29, 195S Mexv in Mens Suits Will Narrow Lapels, Little By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Praia Correspondent. New York -2- 0J.R) This is Men's Fashion. Week. : . ' We could make that sentence longer, except the men behind this Fashion Week like to be simple ' and straightforward in talking about men's clothes. : r Men are so easily scared away from the subject anyway, the experts explain. With a calm ap proach, ,they hoped to ease men : into suits with narrow lapels, very Ititle shoulder padding and narrow trousers. 3 We'd call that a "long, lean look, ' in women's' fashions.' De signers: of men's clothes would be happy if men would " just calt them new suits. " r; " ,:r; "The average adult male in this country buys only five eighths of a suit each year," said Louise ScaliseK t general chair man of the convention of cloth ing designers held here .this week. "It isn't that he doesn't have the - money. It is because LAST PLACE TO LOOK Detroit Lakes, Mini. - (U.PJ-L Sheriff D. A. Wennerstrqm call; ed off his search today for Bar old Ryen, wanted for abandon ment. Wennerstrom discovered that his wife had let Ryen into the county jail because he was tired and hungry and wanted a place to. rest. ' , , - he thinks there is nothing new." ConsarTaiire Bui Different . Scalise described :"the proper male suit for Easter as "conser vative, yet different.". No- man could complain about that nowH could he? ' "The big basic change" will be the very narrow lapel vahd the high gorge effect,' he said. , "Gorge, did you say?'? we ask ed.,- ; , V.,.v'.V,V ! "That is this seam," he ext plained, fingering th notched part of his lapel. He was wear ing a -charcoal gray suit with narrow lapels,: narrow, cufflesa trousers, a pink ' shirt ; and a black and pink striped necktie. "The" low gorge and the wide lapel gives a man a heavy, slop ing look,". he .continued.; Sever al men nearby eyed their lapels nervously, which proves that man is not insensitive, to critic ism of his clothes. ? A "The trousers will be a little lower in rise and narrower at the knee and at the bottom," Scalise continued. "Cuffs are op tional." : v . "Rise?" we asked respectfully. Scalise pointed to his waistband. Charcoal Big Color 1 . . - Charcoal gray is still the big color, he said. This should be conservative enough for any man." - " " : "We .heard about a company Padding that's going to sell suits with a pair of pants and half," he said. - "One- long, -.one . Bermuda length.What do you .'. . ?". .' .There were cold looks -all around. This is the kind of start ling change that scares men away from accepting new fash ions, we realized suddenly; - "Event the narrow lapel will be modified for our customers," Louis D' Andrea, executive of a men's store, said later as he showed visitors around the, con vention display of new styles. "We will sell many peaked lap els; somewhat narrower, with a higher gorge." - , D' Andrea was wearing a char coal gray suit with peaked lap els, white -shorts and gray and pink necktie. One thing puzzles us thought How come men don't even un derstand 'simple, straightfor ward talk about their clothes? We asked our boss about his gorge. He looked at his stomach and said, "I know. I've gotta go on a diet." ... PATTERSON SIGNS BILL ; Salem (U.R) Gov. P ai I Patterson has signed ? house bill No. 1, providing for expen ses of the 1955 'legislative ses sion.
