r8 garments, for spring
nd.nmmir, 1912, will shew
difference, .from
of lut year and the t , .
year before. .Tale applies to
overcoats and undercoats alike; also to vasts and trousers, though not in such marked degree, perhaps, la ra gard to the latter. ' "We are getting away from the tight English coat," said William D. Sharpe,
a well-known tailor and draper of Fifth avenue, Hew York City, who was. until a' year' ago,, an official of
the Custom Cotters dob, and Is a recognised authority on matters sartorial.
"Coats for the coming season will be
more as they were a few seasons ago. They will be cot In accordance with common-sense ideal. The exaggerated
.chest and shoaldet will be noticeable
only by their absence. In other words,
a man's chest, In his coat, will appear
when his chest ought to be."
This Is entirely in consonance with the plans of the high-class reaay-maa
trade, whose designers are not to be
outdone by their "made-to-order" competitors. Nearly without exception,
drawings for spring and summer overt coats show nice, semi-shapely gar
ments not tight fitting, nor yet loose. The average overcoat will be neither long nor short, but will reach to the knee. Big "patch" pockets and cuff ornamentations will no longer be seen. In, fact all bizarre affects are to be carefully avoided. Nicely fitting, genteel garments, built along natural lines will hare the call. The dress overcoat, as usual, is to be made as a rule, from a soft worsted. For general business wear and outing, fancy cheviots will have the preference, though raglans nd homespuns will also be In favor. It is predicted that the "country coat" wUl meet with favor throughout the United States. This is well adapted to all the various uses to which an outer garment may be subjected; like the or
dinary topcoat it la made chiefly of
cheviot, though the matter of fabric is, of course, one of Individual choice with the wearer. These are to be made up chiefly in grays, as that color, in all shades, will continue to predominate in outer garments, both In stripes and solids. Brown is. always a favorite with many, and makes up nicely with an almost imperceptible plaid, visible only by change of light, or with a tiny red or purple thread running through the weave, giving it Just 8 suggestion of brighter coloring.
Herringbones are losing favor; the
oblique wale, especially in rough materials, will be In great demand.
Serges, Scotch cheviots and tweeds will predominate In the make-up of spring and . summer suits and overcoats this year. The well-dressed man may take hla choice from a countless
variety of color combinations, includ
log many novel arrangements of twists and compound mixtures, brown-grays, blngrays, silver-grays ; Chanticleer colorings, goblin blue mixtures, etc Some of the light overcoats will have
a tab on the sleeve, but most of them
will be finished . with a small, one-1 inch vent, with no button.
In both the overcoat and the cut
away the length of the garment will be a little shorter, and the waist line
will be higher than last season's. Except iu overcoats, stripes will not be greatly in evidence, and when seen on ordinary day garments they will be very close and narrow. According to some of the best known makers of good clothes, who are fa
miliar with conditions throughout the country, the , Norfolk is coming into great favor, and will be worn during
the coming season more generally than
ever before. These are to be made up
with three buttons and the soft roll
effect. Some will carry afbelt all the way around the waist, but for the
most part they will have a deml-belt,
extending from side seam to side seam in the back. In these the most popular color Is a blue-gray; they will be worn largely for motoring, golf tod all out-door siort. Made up from
fancy serges and worsteds. In stripes
and figures, the Norfolk is a most at-

practically every outdoor function.
The ordinary business, or sack coat,
will be made more or less close fitting.
following the style of the cutaway and the topcoat They will have two or
three buttons, and five-button vests to match. The latter will net be so highcut as heretofore, and after the winter
season is past it will no longer be considered proper to have the .vest show
above the coat-opening when the top
button of the coat is buttoned, except when the coat has the soft roll front
The vest will carry five buttons, and
the opening will be wider than the
present style demands.
A nice coat for younger men is of
conservative cut and pattern of dark
gray, brown or blue, with the edges bound. This coat carries four buttons, two side pockets with flaps to go in or out, and a welted breast pocket The vest is of the same material, also
bound at tbe edge, with five buttons and an inverted "V" at tbe bottom.
Another coat that will no doubt find many admirers among men of all ages is a double-breasted, form-fitting gar
ment with three buttons; this will be made up in all colors and shades. With
one, two and three button on the
cuff. With it should be worn a six-
button Test, collarles8-etbat Is, when a vest Is worn; the coat itself is well adapted tcf be part of a two-piece suit in warm weather, with trousers of the same material and color, or of lighter
fabric and shade.
A blue serge form-fitting sack, with three button will find many admirers.
With the soft-roll coat goes a vest made up skeleton, and literally as
"light as a feather." All coats, sack
and cutaway, have a button-hole In the
left laps. Borne coats of ' dark material will be made up with turned back cuffs. But no button. These, it is predicted, will meet an enthusiastic reception from young men of the "college" type. For those who do not care for the
f Norfolk there will be provided a soft
roll English naodal with three buttons and an inverted pleat back ; these are to bo asad of hoineepup, tweeds, cassimeres and vicunas ; although they will have three buttons, only the middle one Is supposed to be fastened. These Tin be found very "smart" and will doubtless meet with well-nigh universal approval. Coats for outing suits two-piece suits win for the most part have turnrbock cuffs, and the tro oners wfll be finished to the same manner. But this will pertain to outing suits only; cuffs on trousers Tbe ordinary wear wfll not be permissible. These suits
win be made for tbe mast part of

will be vera. As
spring dvsneaa, serges an h
will be worn In Increasing numbers,
and will be found In a long range of grays and browns, mostly stripes of Inconspicuous design. Returning to overcoats, a brilliant future Is predicted for the "guard" coat, specially adapted for wear In rough weather, useful when boating, motoring, or to guard against the possibilities of sudden summer vhowers. This coat may be obtained in practically all standard colors and shades,
in light and waterproof fabrics. It is made with a convertible collar.
which gives it a semt-mllltary effect when turned up, and a belt from pleat to pleat. It is decidedly nobby in appearance; It keeps its shape well, and
is really an ideal garment for many
occasions. This convertible collar fea
ture is meeting with great success everywhere, as It serves a double capa
city and is dressy In either capacity.
The two-button Tuxedo is coming
into favor again, especially with the
younger men. It Is cut on very shape
ly lines, with very little fulness in the
skirts.

will have no exaggerated snoalder or

The waistline will be a little higher than, at present and the eeat will carry throe buttons, one and a quarter Inches apart Lapels will be peaked, and a trifle wider than those of last season,! and about of aa inch wider than) the collar.
