Men's Weert Woolens Output Up for 3 Mes.
NEW YORK, Production of men's wear woolens increased 7 1'c cent during the first quarter and data on jabric weights sug- gest most of this increase was in Gaterweez fabrics.
The weight category of 13 ounces and over increased from 29 per cent in the 1968 quarles to 44 per cent this year, while the mid-weight woolens droppen 70 per cent in 1968 to 53 per cent this year.
Worsted fabric production for the first three months was up even more gaining 25 per cení over last year. But surprisingly no weight luft is visible in wor- steds according to an analysis by Miss Ruth Jackendoff, director of Cenomics and statistics for the Wool Bureau here.
Meanwhile, a shift to beefier for shaped suits and Worsted sport costs is a point well known in the market. The solution to this apparent mystery may lie in the fact that the first quarter is a period of heavier production of dali worsteds at mills.
The trend to heavier weights is known to be more apparent in fabrics for the spring selling sea- son. In this area clothing mak- ers find the beefier goods lend themselves to shape, moulding and tailoring more easily than the extreme light weights.
A breakdown on weights shows 9 to 13-ounce worsteds taking 79 per cent of first-quarter produc- tion, less than 9-ounce fabrics 11 per cent and the real heavys of 13 ounces and over only 7 per cent-all substantially unchanged fm a year earlier.
If a more detailed breakdown of the 9 to 13 ounce area was available market sources would expert & shift within this brack- et away from 10 to 12 ounce fabrics.
While blends of polyester with wool also increased during the quarter the gain here was less

emounting to & per cent as com- pared with 25 per cent for ali- wool worsteds. Since no break- down by weights on the polyes- tor/wool blinds is available, the statistics fall to show what amount of this gain could have been in the area of fall weight blends and the amount that may have represented the tale end of spring fabric weaving.
Production of women's and children's wear woolens was also up 13 per cent in the quarter. Weight shifts show the 9-ounce and over area increasing 19 per cent in women's wcar woolens. Worsteds, while up slightly in women's WEET, stili represent only a small proportion of this market accounting for only a 4 per cent share of total output.
