Sports Coats

London. There is a certain vogue for proofed velveteen for sports coats, and a useful kit will include one of these, with one of the new lightweight tweed skirts very plainly made with a concealed knife-pleat in front and at the sides, and a neat sweater in tawny stripes to make the ensemble of one tone. A number of the newer sweaters show stripes, and these are usually broad—or sets or narrow ones that look like a broad stripe in the distance. An extraordinary variety of changes of kit can be managed by having all one’s real sporting kit, when golf is the principal attraction, in the one tone. There are some new jumpers which would also make nice house wear instead of the usual house-coat. These are in a novelty Angora and silk mixture, which is hairy and soft. Its sole trimming is silk stitching in its own bois de rose colouring. Another novelty is a stockinette called “Random,” owing to the curious lights it takes. It is being made up into sports jumpers for wear with tweed suits for many occasions, golf or country or seaside wear. Tailored crepe de chene shirting waists are now made with adaptable collars and a man’s tie, either his dinner bow or his butterfly evening bow for full dress—only these ties are nearly always in black satin.
