Warm-Weather Coat of Cotton Corduroy
Cotton cordoroys have been growing in favor for at least
three seasons and now on every hand they are to be seen. They are used
for summer events and skirts and are shown in all the fashionable colors
in the lighter tones. In rose, blue, maize, and light green they have
proved a strong attraction for younger women. But, for midsummer wear in
all white, they make the strongest appeal to women of discernment, young
or old.
The latest of coat models in cotton cordoroy is shown here, and there
is no likelihood that we shall see anything better, for designers are
through with coats for summer wear. This model is very full with
wide cape-collar, and boasts an entirely new note in its bandings of white cotton velvet. The collar is
bordered with it and the belt and fastening straps are made of it.
The coat hangs fine at the back with the belt of white velvet thrust
through slashes at each side of the front. White cord loops at the ends
of the belt fasten over velvet-covered buttons. Two short straps over
the breast fasten in the same way. The colar closes with a button and a
loop.
Plain coat sleeves are finished with turn-back cuffs, faced with the
white velvet and caught with buttons. Large patch pockets, mounted at
the sides are lined with white also. Altogether this is a coat of
great distinction.
