THE KING’S ATTIRE
THE BEST DRESSED MAN
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
LONDON, Jan. 15,
The King is the world’s best dressed man, affirms the “Tailor and Cutter,” which has frequently been outspoken in its condemnation of the dress of notable people, including Premier Baldwin. for whom it lias a particular aversion. “No man has ever shown better taste. We have a feeling of deep gratitude for the example in dress he has always set his subjects, whether ceremonial. sporting or for every day affairs. There has never been 1 a jarring note. He has encompassed elegance, not trim fashion, with no hint of studied effect. The King realised that fine apparel, governed by restraint, is a. form of politeness—something a public man more than anybody, owes t-lie world. The King is the exact balance between fashion and style and personal liking. He mostly has been wisely content to adopt tho current vogue. Whether lie wears a frock coat, a morning coat, or a lounge jacket be shows a sense of exquisite taste. His jackets button neither unduly high nor unduly low. The lapels turn gently like the petals of a flower. “The King as an individualist in dress is the most delightful in 'die world. It is carefully cut to suit tho hc.dv form, yet with due regard-, for mode Nevertheless personality speaks out in little touches. His jackets carry a naval trim ness of design. His trousers are always creased at the sides. Inside his front, since his young days, he has been faithful to the tie through a gold ring. He adopted the double collar cut on orothodox lines, neither opening as widely as that of the Prince of Wales nor pointing as deeply as that of the Duke of York. He is partial to a grey bowler hat with ribbon in a own’d, with his gloves always black pointed. Other pet fancies are black .‘Hid tan, both turnback overcoat and cuffs, and a double breasted waistcoat.
“It is not a mere courtierlike utterance to repeat he is the most (distinguished man in dress in the world.”
