For Travel Wear and Other Wear

One of many separate coats, which have been cleverly christened with a new name—the “overall” coat —is pictured here. It is made up in black and white checked material, with ball buttons of gun-metal finish for its sole decoration. No coat could be much plainer and few could be smarter looking. Plain as It appears, this coat represents results of expert tailoring. Its body Is set on to a round yoke, which supports the rolling collar and admits of the coat being opened at the front, or forms an excellent protection when it Is closed. The lower part of the coat is moderately full, hanging in a box plait at the back. The wide belt confines the fullness only a little at the waist line. The big and practical pockets are a valuable decorative feature, making opportunity for additional machine stitching of exquisite exactness. The cuffs are finished with machine stitching and the collar, yoke and belt all bespeak the efficient workmanship that is the pride of the separate coat. *

Another model in a separate coat that will compel a second look because of its smartness is cut longer than the checked coat shown here, and made of a plain dark material. These coats

depend upon clever cutting for style and becomingness more than anything else, and are designed to suit different figures. The longer coat looks especially well on stout figures, making them look more slender. It manages to narrow the appearance of width across the shoulders and to add to the length of the neck.

The belt Is placed below the waist line and is extended at each side so that the ends cross at the middle of the back and are fastened where they terminate in the side seams. It is a marvel of clever management for the effect of slenderness it lends to the stout figure. The overall coat is a ready-made garment, and one may expect the best and most satisfactory results by selecting it from the stocks which are made ready to wear each season. This insures the services of experts in designing and cutting and perfection in the workmanship required in making.
