Between!
You know that period of the year, both now and again in the Spring when our climare is uncertain. Some momings and evenings are cold, but not cold enough to need an overcoat, yet an extra garment is needed.

Made in Scotland of pure wool in a delightful range of colours and designs, and being **Scotch" Knit they are sturdily made to withstand hard wear. The' very thing, too, for wear after a strenuous round of Golf or a hard set of Tennis.
