I NMH ,v/ •.¥<•■, •. ... ad?* , MAN’S CLOTHES By Richard Dix * “ ‘Style’ is ‘Fashion,’ or ‘Charastic mode of expression,’ I think that a fitting definition. “While we men folk don’t like to give’women credit for many things,, the Tailors who create our clothes I'm speaking of (Tailored Clothes mind) are governed largely by what smart women are wearing. Back in the gay ’nineties when women wore Bustles, Choker Collars, Leg o’ , Mutton Sleeves, and Skirts that swept the sidewalks .(hpw ~Xhe - . ■ '-the Borough Council must bemoan their loss) men’s clothes were just as uncomfortable to look at and wear. Pants hugged the ankles, fiye/inch collars hugged the neck, padded shoulders, stiff shirts —oh, my hat!. Men and women dressed without regard to comfort or health. “To-day our clothes are made to be comfortable in—to express ’ the man rather than a style. (That is, of course, if he is natural enough to wear measured and fitted clothes), the freedom is delightful, the scope for expression great.” Richard Dix, yon have spoken the sentiments of many of our men and the creed of Besley’s (Devon Street, and Hawera, Union Street), Tailors, to men at no advance on the shop suit.
