MEN'S FALL FASHIONS IN ALL STYLES Display Indicates that Re- turn of Old Favorites [ Is Now the Thing A Complete Line of New Fall Clothes . and Ae Well up in the fashion parade for men’s clothing this Fall are two jold favorites that have had their ups-and-downs during the | past ten years. They are the two- button single - breasted jacket, which shows definite signs of a strong “second wind”, and the Tat- tersall or checked waistcoat, which was first in the forefront of fashion in the days of gas lamps and swing- ing doors. | Strictly speaking, this jaurty vest has never been entirely cut of | things, being worn by the ha'dy in- dividualist who believes that a man’s suit is as much his coifle as his home and who puts on a new straw hat when the first hot spell comes regardless of the fact ttat he may be thc only one wearing a straw hat. Brown and Blue Dominant It is noteworthy, however, that this in-and-outer is back again, signifying as it does a trend toward originality and individualisr: While it is a safe bet that this paiticular garment wo2't be seen in offices, indications are that it will find in- creasing favor for campus and kend wear, combined with odd tweed jackets and slacks and sports or countny suits. The two-button single-breasted jacket has aiways been a congender with a higher average rating) over the years than the Tattersal) vest, but never reaching the same peaks r deprescions. It will be een in greater numbers this Fall in wor- steds, cheviots and tweeds, and in the predeminating color tones of brown and blue—apparently the only definitely discernible infiuence in the style picture thus far. with the exceptions of narrower trousers and shorter topcoats and overcoats. The reason for this ecoromy is no style whim and is hardly con- sistent with the generous w.dth of military trousers. It is the -esult of a general tendency to coaserve material in the face of large orders for the Army and Navy, which dur- ing the past year have required a great amount of wool. | In spite of the growing favor found for the two-button single- breasted jacket, the double breast- |ed maintains its top position as the preferred business suit and as the favorite formal university suit, worn in cheviot-striped worsteds, [pin dot stripes and diagonals. As with many of the Fall suits and coats, two of the favorite colors will ‘be the Air Blue and Diamond \JBrown. }v Close to the double-breasted as a { business favorite, will be the three- :bucton single-breasted with welt | pockets.
