THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO OVERCOATS The Perfect Addition To Your Wardrobe There is nothing that makes you feel quite as smart as when the cold weather arrives and you can put on your overcoat. Whether you wear your overcoat to work with a suit or casually with jeans and a jumper, this timeless, versatile garment should be an essential in your wardrobe. This guide is designed to inspire your choices when it comes to having your overcoat made, as well as offering a few simple guidelines to the style and fit. Read on for more... INSPIRATION TOP TIP We recommend you have your overcoat finish just above the knee. The sleeve length should come beyond the end of both your suit and shirt sleeves, but not as far as your knuckles, so when worn with gloves, your wrists will never get cold! How Should An Overcoat Fit? An overcoat worn over a suit will need to be cut a little wider on the shoulders to accommodate the shoulder pad of the suit beneath. For the same reason, it will also need to be slightly longer on the sleeve, as the pad of the suit will raise up the overcoat and make the sleeve appear shorter. Finally, a little more allowance would be made in the body to accommodate the suit beneath. The Fabric and Style As you are having a coat made from scratch, the style choices are almost limitless. However, we do have some favourite coat styles of our own. We'll present a few of them across the next few pages, with helpful notes pointing out the various features that make them special. The Covert Coat The Crombie Coat The Classic Coat The Pea Coat The Camel Coat The Country Coat INSPIRATION Thank you for taking the time to read King &Allen's Complete Guide to Overcoats. If you are interested in having a bespoke overcoat made for you, we would love to help. You can book a free, no obligation consultation with one of our consultants at a convenient venue, where they can show you our full range of overcoat cloths and styles. .

The Denim Report
118 Fashion Forward Trends spring/summer 2016 | fabrics & more | FFT magazine 119 THE DENIM REPORT n this season, the denim offering is wide and qualitative: selvedge denim for purists, power stretch for trendsetters, washed-out effect for the 70s wind blowing around Ithe fashion world, and eco-friendly for green and ethical brands. Little did one know that the fabric would ingratiate itself in the mainstream so decidedly as to become the uniform of generations post the 80s. Irrespective of whether you belong in the 1% or the 99, your age bracket or your cultivated tastes, denim has been part of everyone’s wardrobe. It’s a 60 billion dollar market for retailers alone and designers are keen to partake a piece of this massive pie. It helps that the fabric is the ‘people pleaser’ – it will readily turn into anything one likes. Numerous innovations and fabric infusions such as khadi-denim, silk- denim, 3D textures and laser and ozone finishes change its face beyond comprehension, and this, once street-style, turns sophisticated enough to form a cocktail dress. INDUSTRY TRENDS Sustainability has been a long-standing buzzword but there is ever-newer growth in this direction. As the trend for distressed jeans diminishes, the dyeing process becomes less dependent on chemical sprays and resins. Multiple brands are opting to use 100% organic cotton and natural dye. Artisanal products go for untreated metal zippers and rivets, making it non-toxic. Chemical companies’ enthusiasm for change is making them to associate with leading jeans manufacturers to bring about major savings in key materials, energy, water usage, waste and emission reductions, and ensuring your right to operate in communities around the world.

Hume. ^|r Chicago and New York; Rand, McNally & Company, Publishers, : THE MYSTERY OF A HANSOM CAB. CHAPTER I. WHAT THB "AKGUS" SAID. The following report appeared in the Argus newspaper of Saturday, the 28th July, 18— " Truth is said to be stranger than fiction, and certainly the extraordinary murder which took place in Melbourne on Thursday night, or rather Friday morning, goes a long way towards verifying this saying. A crime has been com- mitted by an unknown assassin, within a short distance of the principal street of this great city, and is surrounded by an impenetrable mystery. Indeed, from the nature of the crime itself, the place where it was committed, and the fact that the assassin has escaped without leaving a trace behind him, it would seem as though the case itself had been taken bodily out of Gaboreau's novels, and that' his famous detective Lecocq only would be able to unravel it. The facts of the case are simply these: " On the twenty-seventh day of July, at the hour of twenty minutes to two o'clock in the morning, a hansom cab drove up to the police station, in Grey Street, St. Kilda, and the driver made the startling statement that his cab contained the body of a man whom he had reason to be- lieve had been murdered.

I can state without reservation that few colleges offer you the combination of such a highly respected academic degree with a strong, hands-on practical component (including Summer Sea Terms onboard our training ship Empire State VI), the opportunity to obtain a Merchant Marine officer’s license, a commission in the armed services if you choose, and the unsurpassed leadership opportunities availavle in the Regiment of Cadets. Indeed few such opportunities in life allow you to grow so rapidly and develop both leadership and technical competencies, which are in high demand in today’s globally integrated and complex environment.

Trade was disrupted between the countries in the Central Empire (Germany, Austria- Hungary, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire), the Triple Entente (France, the United Kingdom, and Russia), and their allies (the United States, Italy, and Romania, among others). Textile industries were monopolized by various needs of the army and sales to the civil sphere declined all over Europe. Supply issues were further aggravated by shortages of raw materials such as wool and cotton and other necessary goods such as canvas.1 M o s t s i g n i ﬁ cantly, a majority of workers and consumers were sent to the front.

W. Hornung, 1899 E. W. Hornung has some thing in common with Arthur Conan Doyle. They both authored over a dozen serious literary novels, but their lasting fame came through their light ‘entertainments’, Mr. Hornung for Raffles, and Mr. Doyle for Holmes. Another thing they had in common was Mr. Doyle’s sister, Connie. Mr. Hornung made her his wife. A. J. Raffles, the gentleman thief, was popular from the first publication in 1899. Raffles was first featured in a film in 1905, a silent film, and he has starred in films and television shows ever since. If you read the stories from beginning to end, you’ll see something very interesting. Mr. Hornung progresses Raffles’s deeply flawed character along it’s inevitable path to his self-destruction.
