Description: | A new line for men has been designed by the leading West End tailors who comprise 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. Particularly effective matching of checks at the front edges, underarms and sleeves is on of the features of this three-piece single-breasted country suit. It is in a neutral 17/18-oz. Scottish Alsport Twist Cheviot, with a blue and tan overcheck. The jacket possesses fishtail step collar, fladed cuffs, one-button fastening at the waist, centre back slit, and slanting, jetted and flapped pockets. The postboy-styled waistcoat is cut long in the front, with a waist seam, and has jetted and flapped lower pockets. Trousers have flared bottoms with turn-ups. | Subjects: | suit menswear waistcoat | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Fabric Manuf.: John G.
