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. Navy and medium blue fancy clean cut 18-oz. Huddersfield wool worsted is the fabric used for this three-piece single-breasted lounge suit. The jacket has a three-button fastening ending at the waist, centre slit to emphasis the slight flare at the back and flared cuffs with one button. The trousers are narrow, without turn-ups, but they flare out to a width of 19 in. at the bottom. The waistcoat is single-breasted with cutaway points and pleats above the lower pockets. | Subjects: | suit menswear waistcoat | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Fabric Manuf.: George Harrison & Co.
