FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1922. Standartization of style, simplicity ef modelling and nearer approach to the lines that marke4 men’s cloth ing of several -sears ago will feature the spring anc. summer displays this dear, Conditions tn the clothing industry are more settled than they have been #ince 1914. Factories are running at top speed, wherever there hasn't been the hurry-worry of other years. As a result clothes have been made much Detter; fabrics have improved and more attention has been pgid to style Like hundreds of other industries the clothing game is gradually get- ting back to normalcy. "The last years havc been hard ones for almost every one concerned and the showing financially has been decidely poor compared with the figures of the pre- vious four years when yood clothes were hard to obtain. Better Clothes Made Today. While there has been a trend to simplification, there has been some style modifications, all tending to give men better ready-for-service clohtes. ‘Never before in the history of the business have such clothes approach- ed the custom-tailored variety so closely. And as a result more men than ever are wearing “bought” clothes—just because “the makers have removed all restrictions as to fit, etc. Fanciful ideas of recent years are almost entirely discarded. Of course some makers will continue to make freak models, but they are so far in the minority as to be almost negligi die in their effect on present day Styie. There is the more convention- al note in spring clothes—both suits and topcoats—a note that is more in harmony with the exacting tastes of geod dressers, Trend to Conservatism. As in other years young men will ‘wear something that is not on the regular bill-of-fare, but such clothes passing vogue. Even are coming down to earth and predictions are being made that in a few years the wild ideas in clothes making will be entirely dis- carded About the only thing that will be out of the ordinary is the four-button sack or semi-fitted coat. The lapel of this model is narrower than last_sea- son and the top button is made -use- ful instead of being an ornament. The front on this coat is soft, with every little padding, so that when the ton is buttoned the coat shapes itself to: the movements of the wearer. Another extreme idea which really had its inception last fall, but prob. ably will be the vogue among a cer- tain class of the dressers this spring, is the full trousers. By that we mean trousers that are shaped in equal full- ness at the knees and bottom. Nor- mally there is a three-inch discrep- ancy at the bottom. This style fol Jows the English idea to a large cx- tent. Double-Breasted Popular The single and double-breasted styles will continue in popular de- mand, with the former dominating the field. ‘The double-breasted styles, however, have increased with each Fea, becauso the makers have put more style into them and have dis- carded the idea of making a man's clothes look like a sack as in seasons past. As a rule the coast fer young men will continue to show the full-chested effects, but not quite as pronounced in other years, While the skirts of the coats will be fairly long the flare has been discarded almost alto- gether—at least it woull be as per- ceptible as in other years. Belted styles will be in popular fa- vor with the wearers of sport clothes. Half and three-quarter belts will win the greatest vote, while the spring Pleats, much like those worn in golf sults, will have the call. There are Various styles to these. Such clothes will be worn a great der1 more in the summer than in the spring. ~ Patch Pockets Win Favor. Patch and plain pockets are to be favored while the crescent-shape Pockets are taking a back seat in the eall again and it will be single breast- ed. They will be very little in the style parade. The collarless vest will have the way of trimmings except in the sport or novelty suits. Among the best patterns are those with stripes, but for business and gen- eral wear fancy silk worsted herrig- bones in gray, brown and blue mix- tures will be tho vogue as last year. Prominent among the nower are the so-called Mayflower stri shades of gray oxford, tb brown, They are made of pure wor ed yarns, serviceable because of their ear round weight Checks which came in several years ago with a rush will be bought by wearers of sport models largely, but there will be such patterns shown in many of the more conservative suits, shepherd plaids, herringbones in blue, brown and gray stripes, glen ur- quardt tartan checks and overplaids will have a strong following, Men's models are made with either full or half lining, while young men’s styles are constructed with French facing and silk piping. lannels in Various Colors. Flannel—the always popular sum- mer fabric—will get its share of the honors again. ‘They are for the most part of dark tones, blues, green, pur- ples, myrtles, various shades of brown and gray, olive greens and tans, with pin stripes, pencil stripes and two- toned effects. In mid-summer fabrics Palm beach again will rule supreme. The mak- ers have gone the absolute limit in putting the best of style and comfort in such clothes. In other season pieces of cloth sewn together in any sort of fashion, was called a suit. Today it’s a different story. Among other summer fabrics that will be worn extensively are mohairs, homespuns, lightweight flannels, trop- ical worsteds, crashes, rich- pongees, shantung and habutai silks. Of course there other breezeadmitting weaves pnder popular trade mark names but most of them are made of materials listed above. Topcoats Follow Suit Lines. As in almost every year of the last decade styles in topcoats will fol- low the lines of the suits. This ap- plies largely to the shoulders, waist- line and chest, Some of the topcoats will be form-fitting, others slightly body tracing and a thin group 6n the Chesterfield order. There are some belted coats, but not in as great a} variety as in other years. For rainy weather the popular gab-| ardine still holds the stage. The} leather coat whivh went “grest guns” during the war has seen better days. sa Bald Bsa : The spring costumes for the girl of from fourteen to twenty are simple but smart.
