Clothes Worries
Men's Styles Change
Decrease Daily
By OSCAR A. BERGMAN
"THERE'S GONNA BE SOME CHANGES MADE"... But, SO WHAT?
We like new ideas and changes anyway.
There are changes in the weather . . . changes in the sea . . . and especially changes in styles, and we take them in our stride. This is just what we'll do with any of the changes in fabrics, models, colors and patterns, that may come our way due to the war and emergency.
Long before the ban on rubber the public had been presented with and had accepted wholeheartedly many types of rainwear that use little or no rubber in their construction. Water and wind repellent fabrics have been used so successfully . . . from the standpoint of style first, and utility second . . . for the last 10 years, that the public in all walks of life take them for granted. In fact the government itself, finds that rubber is really not vital in a rainwear garment, and are
But . . . and here's good news . . . none of the apparel changes will be drastic. They'll all be gradual, natural, and in many instances, barely noticeable. The genius of our scientists, chemists, as well as our smarter manufacturers here in America, will come through as always, and make the best thing you can buy for the money.
Rubber Isn't Necessary
As these changes appear on the horizon, let's think of them as alternates, not substitutes, and prepare ourselves for a lot of very nice and interesting romance in apparel ideas.
using the alternates for military coats in many instances.
Many years before the suspender came into existence men were holding up their pants with a belt of one kind or another. And the first "gallouses" invented used a cord and some fabric in a simple pulley arrangement that worked OK. So as a final thing, we'll go back to "holder-uppers" using some fancy pulley gadget. We have been wearing suspenders these last three or four years, made of a stretchable alternate, and according to all reports we can still get all of this stuff we want.
And as for garters . . . well for the last year or so, many manufacturers have been selling socks with an elastic webbing around the top which does a good job of holding them up. Little by little they have been eliminating the rubber in these

stretchable sock tops without even telling you anything about it.
With the exception of leaving off the eyelets on your shoes, about the only changes will be merely a few less decorations. The same amount of brass used in all of the eyelets in the shoes in the country will make a'savings big enough to make at least 1,000,000 artillery shell casings a year.
This is the thing that has caused all the hullabaloo, but none of the changes are drastic or ridiculous. In fact most of them should have been made a long time ago.
Suits . . no cuffs . . (they're unsanitary anyway, and they make short men look shorter) . . no two matching pants suits . . . (if you'll buy the extra pair in a different color, pattern and fabric, and mix 'em up, it will appear as if you have a much larger wardrobe) . . . No vests with double breasted suites . . . (I have never seen a vest that fit, nor a suit that fit well with a suit . . . and you'll be a lot more comfortable without one anyway) . . . No vents, no fancy backs and the jacketes are to be $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch shorter . . . (you'll never miss any of them) . . . Pants are 1 inch smaller at the knee; $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch smaller at the bottom; no pleats, or patch pockets . . . (after the second time you have these new pants on you'll never notice the difference) . . . And no

double breasted dinner jackets (the single breasted ones are here yet), and no tailcoats (the fancy joints will merely change their rules.)
It is estimated by experts that all of this will insure a saving of cloth enough to produce 26 per cent more suits and 10 per cent more topcoats, and between 40 and 50 million pounds of raw wool will be saved.
