A poorly made, drooping shoulder is a sign of weakness. such a garment lacks the rinciple : i ‘om the shoulder. And the tailorman who sponsors knowledge of this basic The lines of a coat are balanced If the shoulder isn’t correct the coat suffers insomuch as it cannot maintain a proper balance, nor will it fit. In most ready-for-wear clothes an attempt to overcome this fault is made by stuffing out the shoulder in an ungainly manner with wadding, making of it a caricature, an exaggeration. In the modeling of our “Concave” Shoulder we have eliminated all superfluous wadding and achieve the shapely, graceful result by following the natural normal concavity, from the base of the neck to the top of the arm.

The question shall remain unanswered here. j But there is a difference, and it has not been discovered by the art = | critics as such, but by the general public has his fame been accorded. | Almost unknown to himself, Gibson became famous.
