UTILITY CLOTHES
MANUFACTURED IN BRITAIN. SOME FEATURES TO DISAPPEAR. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.28 a.m.) RUGBY, March 3. Sir Thomas Barlow, Director-Gen-eral of Civilian Clothes, announces that adult and children utility clothes will be price controlled. Some 1,200 firms, designated by the Board of Trade to manufacture material from cotton, Rayon, etc., are available this Spring and woollen and worsted in the Autumn. Split-bottom sleeves on men’s jackets, double-breasted jackets and trouser turnups are disappearing; also embroidery and other ornamentations on women’s and children’s clothes. Probably women’s skirts will be shorter, but there is no standardisation of clothes yet.
