CT-IG,7 - THTTE THE MICHIGAN DAILY ~PA~R~ T-CTiO2~ THE.EE ariety Of Coat Styles Intrigue Well-Dressed College Me Reversikles, And Raincoats Are Essential Raglan Sleeve Is Favorite; Blue, Brown Combined In Plaids,_Herringbones By B. JENSWOLD In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of-swing- ing into a new, light coat. And to- day, as never before, are there a host of fabrics and' styles from which to choose. Practical to the nth degree is the worsted gabardine raincoat with the removable lining. Blustery days are yet to come before spring is here to stay, so the farsighted young man will not overlook that item of lining.' Another feature of this coat is the military collar, so prevalent in semi- sports clothes these days. And the rugged individualist will give special attention to models with slanting pockets, which, by the way, do seem to add inches to one's height. Reversibles Popular For April's showers, too, are the popular reversibles, in corduroy or covert cloth, and the coats of water- proofed materials. The length is finger-top or knee. Enough of bad weather attire. When the sun is pouring down out of the blue and it is still weeks to summer weather, the student needs, a cool and comfortable coat for class- es. Better than ever this spring is the model with lines of stitching around the hem and sleeves. This is gen- erally seen on fly-front coats, with either the set-in or raglan sleeves. Forthe gentleman who desires to give the illusory effect of height, the above-the-knee sports coat is at his disposal. Corduroy in some shade of tan will compliment any wardrobe. Combinations Featured Colors run extensively to that com- bination of combinations, blue and brown. This trend manifests itself in herringbone and plaids and mottled fabrics, and it solves so many prob- lems in matching. Beige, the indi- spensible, is still here, and shades of dull or light green and rust; and, as of always, gray, blue, and brown. For those moments when studying is put out of his mind and pleasure is given preference, a herringbone topcoat with peaked lapels and the ever-present fly-front answers the need of the college man. The:slight shapliness of this coat is a pleasant change from the loose build of the campus classics. That too-padded look about the shoulders is out. Naturalness and flattering lines, with ease afforded by short lengths, are the measures of a smart coat this season. Over sweat- ers and unpadded shoulders the rag- lan sleeve is perfection, and with the slightly built out shoulders, the fit is most comfortable with set-in sleeves. The selection is large, and the rules are simple, so a word to the wise col- legian ought to be sufficient. Madras To Be Popular Light-weight madras is back in circulation for shirts this spring, made up usually in stripes, which looks extremely well with solid color or small all-over patterned ties. Scotch Plaid Sock Is Popular; Britain Produces Despite War Since we've always heard the term 'old sock' applied to men around these parts, here is the new angle in socks, or should we say the new argyle, for' argyles are definitely here to stay. Copies of the imported Scotch cash- mere plaid socks that have been the }age this winter are being reproduced in soft lisles in the same bright col- ors for spring and summer. Despite the fact that there is a war raging in Europe, the hose manu-' facturers in England and Scotland are working full time producing socks of first rate quality for the fastidious tastes of the American male, and specifically the collegel man. Reenforced Toes Draftees who are fortunate enough to have socks knitted for them by their mothers, sweethearts or wives shoud recommend that these be knit- ted in fine wools with the reinforced heel and toe.

Phone 9068 In the spring a young man's fancys turns to sweaters-anything to get out of a suit coat. If you don't happen to be fortunate enough to own an M sweater, there are several other equally fashionable styles appropriate for campus wear. Before the weather becomes real- ly warm, long-sleeved sweaters, of course are the vogue. An especially popular model for spring in a soft green is a long-sleeved V-neck sweat- er with cable-stitch trimming. Crew or boat-necks as they are sometimes called, rival the V-neck for first place in sweater fashions. Round necks are on the way out. Sleeveless sweaters in all colors and knits are on the upward trend. Not only are they cool but they look very attractive over solid-colored shirts. We were particularly impressed by a wide-weave white one over a navy shirt. In the beige tones, camel's hair wool and soft cashmeres come to the fore. The warm coat sweaters so prominent in the winter are used very sparingly in the summer. f r- - Watch Bands Are Differentl Pastels Are Shown So much for the Army. On leave or in civilian clothes men can let their fancy run free as far as their socks go, for they are being shown in every possible length, color and weight. Popular for summer are the cotton socks in pastel shades.

You wouldn't think there was much that could be written on buttons, would you? They're so little. But we can put in a plea against leather buttons? We've heard vehe- ment complaints against them-they pull off too easily and the loops break and cannot be replaced. So take this advice-leather for luggage, but not for buttons! j (1 i 1 Light-Colored Leather, Plastics Preferred We realize that the matter of ticker straps is a very vital one, for styles have changed a good deal. In fact, there's been a revolution in bands. These days wide leather straps or silken bags are on their way out. Of course a light-colored leather is still very attractive for conservative souls, but they have a bad habit of turning dark in the hot summer months. The latest thing in watch bands Dr ess Up f in ai suit I are the plastic ones of varied colors which are cool-looking and comfort- able for summer.
