Show r 1 Tourist's Coat in Shepherd's Check j : ; ,. Mr I 'lM y- y 1-,: ,.v r Q E3 "'iwj E3 E3 FEW- coats are as graceful as the loose-hanging shepherd's check, 8hown here cut with a moderate flare and wide capelike sleeves. It is so roomy that it may be worn over a tailored ' suit, but so well adjusted about the shoulders and so excellent In its lines that there is nothing cumbersome cum-bersome about it.v About nine out of ten coats of moderately mod-erately heavy woolen . fabrics fail when it comes to being graceful. Such coats must be cut on simple lines, otherwise ' they cannot possibly be "smart." The , fault usually lies in! breaking up the design with decorative decora-tive features added for the sake of novelty. In the coat pictured here the desired novelty is achieved In the shape of the sleeves, the flare of the skirts, and in the introduction of a cross-bar pattern in the same fabric as the coat for an inlay in the collar and revers and as a border for the sleeves. This inlay is shown in black with white bars, in bright green and in leather color. The collar is cut so that it may be brought up close about the neck, and, while the coat fs not designed for cold weather, it has plenty of warmth to fortify one against the keen breeze of the sea or the morning chill of the mountain country and the "norther" that penetrates to southern climes. Such a coat is destined to outlive a single season; it is so sanely fashioned fash-ioned that it may be relied upon to outlast the caprices of style for a year or so. |
