COAT DRESS SHIRTS

This is a sensible and convenient develop ment of the "pull over" shirt. It means that one can put on one's shirt just as a coat and not draw it over the head as in the "pull over" style. The toilet can be completed-as this method does not "ruffle "the hair-without inconvenience before putting on the shirt. Moreover, this style can be cut closer to the body, dispensing with a considerable amount of surplus material and thereby giving a better "set" to the dress, suit.
