extracted text: Pronounced restrictions are being put in force this fall with respect to the styles of men's clothes, that materials may be conserved and labor employed to the best advantage.
A typical example of the results of these changes is furnished by comparing the two suits shown herewith. The Norfolk, a last year's model, requires ⅜ yd. more material, 53 in. wide, than the war style shown beside it, and the former utilizes at least ~½ per cent more. labor than the latter, in making. The features which, having been condemned by the Council of National Defense, the tailors are now omitting are: Belts, cuffs, pleats, patch pockets, outside bellows pockets, flaps on vests, vest collars, outside cash pockets, double-breasted sack coats, double-breasted vests, tunnel loops, cloth vests, belts for trousers, peg-top trousers, French facing, and shoulder cloth facing. The new regulations also restrict the length of sack coats, raincoats, and ulsters, as well as the sweep of the two latter. Belts may be only 2¼ in. wide.
