MEN'S WEAR REFORM about his discomfort. Much intelligence is brought to bear in devising women's wear for comfort and appearance—wh y not a little for men's (Contributed by A. LATI-iwELL, IsQ., Barton's Mill) comfort? A fellow is unnecessarily tied up at the neck, arms, and feet. The present fashion shiw, with collars and cuffs, are not suitable, com- Recent cables, etc., from the Old Overseas tend to show that men's fortable, or healthy. If improvements in men's wear are put on the market, dress reform is occupying a more or less important place and it is very obvious that 90% of men would welcome a wider and better choice of men would be encouraged' to dress according to their requirements. As it garments. Boys and men are much over-dressed with absurd collars and is, change of dress is barred by lack of choice. Three-quarter wool and silk cuffs, cumbersome shirt sleeves, and baggy trousers wangling round the bore, or cotton and silk, instead of half-ho-c and suspenders. In my opinion ankles. Knee-pull of long trousers is irritating and unnecessary, while the men's shoe heels a c too low, squat, and splayed out. No wonder the average coat should only be worn when necessary for comfort. In these days of elastic, man has no balance or poise. Why not put a choice of sensible heels? It its use would obviate the necessity of either braces or belt. It has been seems to me men's feet are not well catered for, -as the majority of men wear suggested that a man should be able to dress in two minutes. Give him shoes that do not fit well. A feeling of well-being is engendered by nice shorts, with elastic waist, single strap shoes, and open-necked shirt, and it fitting, comfortab!c, and light, cool, easy clothing. The present sports shirt would be possible; but with collar, and cuffs, and tie, brace and belt, lace collar is too large, cumbersome, and untidy looking, and long sleeves unneces- boots or shoes, it is well-nigh impossible, and highly improbable. It's too sary. Really, a collar at all is not always desired. I am in the hope that much trouble for a man to change, and consequently he troubles little about a start will be made to enable men and boys to dress more freely and com- his personal appearance, except on speCial occasions, and then he grumbles fortably, and advance in well-being and physique.

In looking back over years that have passed one just wonders at the progress that has been made. What does the future hold for all? We who are interested in Men's Wear just wonder what kind of Shirts and Pyjamas will be worn one hundred years hence. To-day's Shirts take an important place in man's dress, the demand being for a soft, super- fine finish material, with colourings that our forefathers never dreamed of. The opening of our "New Season's Shirts" offers an opportunity to obtain the very newest designs and colourings. These Fashion Shirts are made in our own factory, under expert supervision, with a knowledge of years' standing of man's requirements. The shirtings used are selected from amongst Great Britain's foremost manufacturers, G120—Strong Striped Poplin-de-Luxe whose confidence in these materials is so established that we are able to pass on that guarantee to our Fashion Shirts, white grounds, featur- customers. When purchasing Shirts or Pyjamas that bear that significant label, "Gibsonia," you can rest assured that you are obtaining garments of unsurpassable value. These are some of the outstanding lines ing blue, grey, !who, fawn, pink stripes; that we recommend for your consideration and ultimate purchase. collar to match. 9/11.
