MEN’S SHIRTS AND PYJAMAS
STANDARDISATION IN AUSTRALIA Sydney, Oct. 21, The standardisation of men’s and boys’ shirts and pyjamas has been announced by the Minister of War Or- | ganisation and of Industry, Mr Dedman. Mens’ shirts will be cut three inches shorter in the front and from three to five inches at the back, according to the wearer’s size. Included in the new standardised shirt styles is a short open-fronted coat shirt to be worn as a coat in hot weather. It can 1 be worn with or without a tie. Its length is restricted to 24 inches. Other coat style shirts and double cuffs are prohibited. Based on pre-war production figures, elimination of double cuffs and the shortening of the length of shirts would mean that a quarter of a million additional shirts could be made from the same amount of cloth, said the Minister.—P.A.
