Driving Coat of Bolivia Cloth

There is an interesting distribution of new names each season given to our tried friends in the realm of appnrpl, and to colors and shades of colors with which we are familiar. Which goes to show that new names add new Interest to the most necessary of our belongings. An Instance is to be seen in the comfortable utility coat pictured, which is now called a “driving” coat. And it is a good coat for driving; as good as it is for walking, which is very good Indeed. This model is made of Bolivia cloth In a strong, deep blue, and the manner in which it is cut is worth studying. There is a yoke at the front which extends over ,he shoulder but not across the back. This allows the back to fall in straight lines from the neck to the hem. It is shaped into a gradual Rare and its effect is to narrow the figure across the shoulders. The yoke extends to the bust tine

at the front, and the lower part of the coat is fulled on to IL The long lines of the garment are unbroken here as in the back. Big pockets are inserted, slantwise, at each side, and the collar is of the high rolled-over kind that adds to the appearance of length in the figure. Cuffil are straight, wide bands having one end finished with a tab. . The , tab overlaps the other end of the band and is stitched tTbwn and finished with two metal buttons. ShouL tiers are long, sleeves roomy and plain. This is an excellent model for furfabrics and for all the heavy weaves of cloth that are classed as coatings. Bolivia cloth is made in many beautiful, dark colors, and nothing superior to it is to be found for the driving coat.
