Mr. Ober suggests that you come in and see a Midnight Blue tux with tails to go with it. Tails are better and better every year. Although the weather is just be- ginning to hint of top-coats, the trends in coat styles are already well-marked. An investigation of the early dis- plays in prominent stores puts tweeds and hair coats in the ma- jority. On the one extreme, the Balmaacan models with fly fronts and raglan shoulders; on the other, the double-breasted models for your more formal wear. Either in equally good taste. From Kansas City comes word that Wolf Brothers have a geo- graphical background for the new coats that they are featuring. You see, the Isle of Manx, a tiny dot in the Irish Sea, is famous for two things. The Manx Parliament Tynwald Hill is the oldest form of representative government. It is also famous because of the sturdy tweed fabrics woven from the wool of native shep. The Duke of Kent and the Duke of Wind- sor, and other members of the royal family prefer it for its lux- urious quality, and rugged wear. It is these coats that Woolf Brothers so alluringly display, and they certainly deserve an A rating. Carl ' s, here in Lawrence, con- curs heartily with the Woolf Brothers preferences. With them, English Style Balmaacan Top (Continued on page 81) Manx Tweed Toppers Handloomed from native wools on the Isle of Man, the ruggedly handsome fabric has been carefully tailored for us into easy fitting, roomy rag- lans.

10 THE .FAY HAWKER ITS NICE TO STAND AND TRY ON ONE TOPCOAT AFTER ANOTHER And if you ' ll take your pkce be- fore our mirrors to-morrow, by tbe time you have finished, you ' ll know as much about topcoats as most clothing men, for you ' ll see more topcoats than the average clothing man sees. This isn ' t just one line of top- coats. It ' s a review of the nation ' s best ... a complete picture of what ' s going on in styling and fabric from one end of this alert country to the other. Make It Soon OBER ' S IT looks like a great year for the | college man from the practical point of view. Whether we lounge or go sporty on Saturdays, the new suits and coats are more practical and more comfortable than any time in recent years. As one might imagine from their increasing popularity last spring, rough tweeds and herring- bones took the front in this year ' s early fall suiting fabrics. Cheviots are also in high favor. In these rougher clothes, very English in every way, the lines go English too. For the first time since im- mediately after the war, the three- button, single-breasted coat is the mark of style supremacy. Later in the season, as the out- door tang of autumn gives way to the smoother living of winter, we may expect the trend to go a bit away from the rougher clothes to hard worsted materials. The double-breasted full English drape is the cut for that suave, man-of-the world appearance. Of course semi-dress suits must always be dark, but a little more lively note is added this year by poly- chromatic pin-stripes. This year ' s campus man is also paying strict attention to his foot- wear. Brogues in brown grains set the pace. It would be a fatal omission, however, to fail to men- tion the smartn ess and practicality of the chocolate Cordovans. For sport, the crepe soles with smooth- leather uppers are sell-outs every- where. Ober ' s gives you the forecast for the formal season. They say the double-breasted tuxedo will be at its height, although single breasted is always good. Full drapes with pleated pants gros- grained lapels replacing the by- gone satin buttons faced with the
