Lighter Colours,
Narrower Brims
The latest trend in headwear
for men is to leather suede.
Now available in both hats and
caps, these creations are ideal
for spring and compliment to-
day's casual outerwear.
Felts are definitely softening
to lighter tones -- greys, and
blue greys being most popular.
Felts are lightweight, compli-
mented with narrow hands and
linings of nylon mesh.
The greatest demand is for
the soft, tapering pinch fronts
and centre creases, with brim
dimensions from 11 to 1 3/4.
Wider brims and more staple
crowns are still available to the
consumer who prefers these
styles.
SUMMER STRAWS
The departure from charcoal
tones is evident in the season's
straw hats, with sands, light
olives and greys increasing in
popularity. Bands are gay in
design, yet subdued in color to
compliment the various braids.
Silk types head the list.
The variety of braids is
wide, everything from Coconuts
to Panamas and the fine Milens.
There are in excess of 50 dif-
ferent braid and body types of
straw headwear available to the
Canadian consumer.
In straws as in felts, the
dressy, soft tapering pinch
fronts and centre creases, with
brims of 1 i to 1 3/4 inches pre-
vail, The telescope, with a
more casual air, remains popu-
lar, and of course, staple styles
with brims 24 are still in de-
mand in the Panama family.
For the young "sharp dresser"
the Triune Line, with brim of
14 and more extreme styling
has been the choice.
Biltmore had not forgotten
the sportsman and has a variety
of "fun and sun" headwear,
ideal for the beach and holiday
season, that is extreme with
creations for every occasion.
The golfer has a wide sel-
ection of casual and sport styles
to choose from, as well as the
more conservative modes in the
Executive Golfer field,
CORRECT ACCESSORIES
FOR THE GREY SUIT
The silvergrty runts are high
fashion in men's st,its this sea-
son and are recommended for
day rime or after six wear.
A white shirt with permanent
fused collar and French cuffs
are suggested for after six. For
daytime choose a blue oxford
cloth shirt with button down
collar and singlt cuffs or a
multi-stri, e. broadcloth shirt
with dome -tab collar.
Swiss silk poc:.et squares
can be co-ordinated with Swiss
silk ties in stripes or all over
design. There are also links
and tact( sets that co-ordinate
with grey suits for string.
Colourful Spring
Ahead for Men
Bright colors were shown in
co-ordinated fashions for men
in Los Angeles this spring by
the American Institute of Men's
and Boy's Wear.
Examples of the colorful ar-
ray were a blue and whiteplaid
coat worn with grey pants and a
green flannel coat with yellow
gabardine slacks,
THE TREND in men's sportcoats seems to be a popularity
towards the heavier Shetland types. Glen -checks, subdued
plaids and various types of Herringbones have emerged as
the best sellers.—Photo by Progress Brand,

Don't miss our dis-
play at the Fashion
Show, Wednesday,
April 15th.
He gets a cool, cotton jac-
shirt, that's what.
At least that's what design-
ers are betting thousands of men
will do this summer. They're
showing the jac-shirt which is
a shirt built onto a hip band in
many different versions. It will
be available fashioned with
front panels or detailed with
contrast bands and embroidery.
It will also have (in case you're
wider or narrower over the hips
than you suspected) adjustable
side tabs or side laces.
In California where the cli-
mate lets them get to these
things faster than us, seersucker
is the rage. For some men strip-
ed seersucker has never been
out of fashion --- now they
have a choice of glen plaids,
tiny checks and a pattern which
imitates madras.
The big fashion news for
golfers is give --- the kind you
get from stretch denim and
gabardine jackets and slacks.
Airy cotton knits are also being
shown for golfers in shirts and
cardigans.
Suedine windbreakers are
fashionable (new) and so is the
embroidered shirt pocket and
the Italian roll collar. Look for
belts to reappear on pants
(they've been absent for some
time) and for jamiaca shorts to
replace the longer bermuda
type.
Top colors for spring and
summer are bone and egg -shell
accessorized with bottle green,
bark and brown prints. Butyou
won't be far wrong with blue or
grey accented with cranberry
and wine. In any event, the
trend is away from black and
navy.
If you want to bring out the
beast that lurks within -- you'll
be interested in the fur print
terry cloths. You'll see these
printed in leopard, ocelot and
zebra patterns.
Caps and Hats
For Little Boys
Little boys will be pleased
with the smart headwear that
has been designed for them
this spring.
There are smart Eton caps
and cloth fedoras. Various
shades in plaids and checks are
featured in the fedoras with
contrasting hands or blends of
the same color, A jaunty''
feather at the side gives a man-
nish look and many have chin
straps for anchorage in a lusty
wind.
He'll Slip into That Soft -Shoe Routine
"That old soft shoe," has be-
come the new soft shoe this
spring, and the Canadian male
couldn't be happier. In both
dress shoes and casuals, light -
as -down leathers and comfort-
able styling provide foot ease
along with fresh fashion.
For work, play or just put-
tering aL out, there are a host
of spring shoe styles. Tops in
casuals, are the leather moc-
casin, moc variations, slipon
and boot, Leather brogues, ox-
fords and dress slipons have
been shown for more formal
occasions,
Loafing is twice as relaxing
in a pair of casuals. In soft
glove leather or supple waxy
leather with its natural shad-
ing, the classic hand -sewn
moccasin offers good loos with
good loafing. For those not
hidebound to tradition there
are interesting variations on
the moc-high risers, moc bluch-
ers with handstitching, smooth
moccasins with contrasting
saddle strap.
Always in favor for the in-
formal life is the high-riser(or
boot shoe). This rugged shoe
is at home in town or country.
A variety of casual styles
make the slipon a popular
choice for men seeking elegant
ease. Fashion features include
tassel ties, strap treatments,
side gores, and combinations
of textures or colors,

ple in almost every man's shoe

A dress shoe to depend on --
season in, season out -- is the
handsome brogue, Recent
streamlining has fined down the
grains, lightened the leathers
and slimmed the silhouette of
the brogue. But its hearty mas-
culinity is sustained through the
use of perforations, pinking de-
tails, and five and six -eyelet
closings. Wafer-thin linings of
porous leather t<eep feet cool
and dry throughout the warm-
est day.
Formally attired, the slip-
on drops the ties and strap treat-
ments and adapt a sleek look.
Side gores are hidden, toes are
plain or wing -tip, and textures
are mirror smooth or very fine
grained.
Rich tones of brown -- cord-
ovan, deep brown, golden
brown -- are most important in
men's footwear this spring. Mul-
oerry and black are also seen
for dress wear, while charcoal
tan, sand, taupe and the full
color range of the natural tan-
nages are' favored shades for
casuals,
Shoes should be polished
early, even before their first
wearing. It darkens the leath-
er and removes that naive, new
loo.( as well as lubricating the
leather.
Because the inside of the
shoe becomes moist at the end
of a day's wear, tt is a good
idea to rotate shoes, Do not
wear the same shoes two day s
in a row, say the experts.
Shoe trees take the wrinkles
out of shoes and bring them new
life, giving them a new count-
enance to present to the world.
A good shoe tree, fashioned in
wood or plastic, w ill have chan-
nels to allow the moisture to es-
cape. Metal, unless treated to
resist, will rust.
It is almost impossible to
avoid getting shoes soaking wet
at least once in their lives. Do
not dry shoes on or near a rad-
iator, Shoes should he dried at
room temperatures then placed
on trees and polished to restore
the finish and lubricate the
leather.
Stripes are "In"
Stripes are "in" with the then
this season -- for shirts, sweat-
ers, swimmwear and ties.
Swim trunks are shown in
bold vertical stripes. Striped
cabana tops are being worn with
plain true (s and shorts,
Pullovers and cardigans with
V nect<lines are seen in wide,
multi -color stripes often with
single color bac.,s and sleeves.
Many cardigans in double - ,(nit
have rolled edge trim which
will not lose its shape, Boucles
are popular, too. The tapered
waist in many lines gives neat-
ness.
Your dreams have been realized.
