Case for case - hoWs more ounce for otjnce-weigtis less O BOOKS 'GIFTS RECORDS V Day's Ciothmg-May Be Sprayed On; Built-in Tliermosfaf Predicted Soon By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York HP Gentlemen, let us now begin thinking what manner of men we will appear to be when the wave of the fu ture hits the men's clothing in dustry. Will men's duds turn eerie? Will there be push - button clothing, with built-in heating, air-conditioning, and we might as well think big shower baths? Will we let the Russians get a big jump on us in such fields as, say, non-itch fabrics, self-sealing pockets, shine - resisting pants seats, and other such sure-to-come improvements? Our scouts have fetched in re liable reports that a radical fringe of the clothing industry already is speculating that the time will coma when you will step out of the shower in the morning and your wife will spray that day's clothing onto you with an aerosol bomb con taining chemical clothing com pounds. 1 A Duds Disintegrator The scouts did not say how you get the stuff off at night, but it is to be presumed that ways will be found. Perhaps every home will be equipped with a duds disintegrator closet into which you step and poof! you're undressed. In search of an authoritative voice in the male raiment field, we corralled Robert Asher, a big men's pants man from Massachu setts, vice president of the Asher Company of Fitchburg. He de signs and makes men's and boy's slacks, and he's setting up a re search division to delve into fab rics and materials for the future He said he could envision dis posable paper clothing before long; he could see the possibility of chemically treated things that would react automatically to the weather as if thermostatically controlled. But when asked about the talk of spray-gun garb, he used a forceful word: "Malar key." However, he said he suspected that within a couple of years there might be sprays on the market something like a silicon-finish kit with which your wife could spray your conven tional fabric clothing to water proof it in the face of a sudden rainstorm. "That spray-on clothing thing hosing a guy down in the morning and sending him out into the world is interesting to4p imagine," he said. "But I suspect that if there's any spraying it will be onto the conventional type of clothing which - let's face it helps to cover up fat rolls, knock knees, and kindred defects. Paper Underwear Maybe "However, I think it's just a matter of time before we'll see paper underwear, paper hand kerchiefs, and, over a longer period, paper shirts, slacks, and more complicated garments. I envision them for heavy work or play, and it's conceivable that, if it's made with low cost, you can just take the stuff and throw it away after wearing. "I'll venture that, five years from now we'll look back on 1957 and be . amazed at the pace. You'll see emerging almost iaper-light fabrics with crease resistance. The ultimate goal is a chemical lining or a treated fabric that will react as a ther mostat does. If the body needs heat, it will let your body heat be retained: if the body is giving off heat, this thing will let it be released thus beating th weather." Consider, then, tomorrow's man wearing a thermostat. Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
