Suede Jackets
London.
The newest divided, skirts can (hardly be distinguished from the ordinary variety, even when the wearer is walking briskly. They are warmer, do not blow about so much, and have definite advantages] where strokes requiring a "moun-| taineering stance are concerned.
One of the disadvantages of, the ordinary suede jacket is the fact that it has to be very much too loose if it is to afford sufficient freedom for easy swinging.
Many houses are now offering suede Jackets with knitted sleeves. This disposes of one difficulty, but| in a really cold wind knitted sleeves are apt to leave the ordinary mor- tal with cold hands.
