Description: | A new line for men has been designed by the leading West End tailors who compromise the Men's Fashion Council. Described as the masculine version of the trapeze line (or the flared line), the main style points are: jackets and coats featuring skirts which flare prominently at the back@ waisted effects and the positioning of buttons that never extend below the waist thus stressing the flared line, which is "echoed" in the outward curve of the cuffs and trouser bottoms - the latter resembling modified bell-bottoms. The cloths used are from an advance selection of the worsteds and woollens from famous merchant houses and the dominant note is blue, in varying tones, which is the chosen colour this year for men. It has been combined with more neutral tones and stripes. This three-piece single-breasted lounge suit is in a 16/17-oz. navy blue Huddersfield wool worsted with a white stripe. The flare of the jacket springs from a fitted waistline, the single vent bringing the emphasis to the back. Sleeves are shaped and fairly narrow, but curve out to a point at the cuff. Trouser bottoms, without turn-ups, flare out from a shaped leg. Stripes are used vertically on the jacket and trousers, but on the postboy-style waistcoat they appear horizontally above the waist-seam and vertically below it. This idea is repeated on the shirt, which has the stripes running horizontally on the stiff front panel, and the stiff cuffs repeat the line of the jacket cuff. Faint self stripes are used for the body lining of the jacket. Suit by H. Hunstman & Sons Ltd. Fabric by Collars Parsons & Co.
