ts an Eighty-to-One Shot That Gimbels
an Fit a Man in Suit or Overcoat
"'""w1" """MiiHiBB'f" ""' a,""i"j'"
So very large has this business grown that we are justified in carrying immense stocks, and that has
given play to a nicety of sizing that serves you well.
The average clothier carries of a style a 34, 36, of a back; to hug the collar; to narrow or widen the
38 and up to 42; of a fat man's model, 40 to 48 and lower part of a coat to do any of a hundred things
beyond that it's guess-work and "busheling" you i "to make it fit," but likely almost unfit for wear,
know what that is alterations to take the slack out
Gimbels Have Eighty Sizes of Suits
We like merchant tailoring; we do it, but, "honest ' Remember, if a garment has to be extensively
to goodness," a man is fitted in Gimbel ready-to-wear
as his wife is fitted in a Paris gown.
Let's open all eyes to great big facts.
altered it loses the "hang" and "balance" it's a
goner, as to fashion.
Double-breasted Suits for Men
"Kuppenheimer," "Society Brand" a dozen
Gimbel-guaranteed lines
Browns, blue, grays, greens and fancy worsteds,
unfinished worsteds, the favored smooth worsteds,
tweeds, cassimeres, cheviots, flannels. $30 to $75.
In England, the mark -of the. gentleman is to be
able to properly set off a suit of tweeds. If he's un
certain, it's in the breed and he naturally fears to try.
Philadelphia has two great safety-zones of fab
ricfinished worsteds and the family of tweeds.
Worsteds take in the serges.
Single-breasted Suits same makes. $30 to $75.
Gimbel Overcoats Rank First
"Kuppenheimer" makes many of them they're foremost. If you are not twenty-eight, you'll choose a
snappy "Society Brand" Overcoat.
Plaid-back Ulsters Stand First
Long for country and physicians everywhere;
shorter for motor-wear, when you can pick your
weather.
Moss -finished beaver; velour a soft-faced
woolen; duffle "teazled," some of it is knit.
Blue, brown, heather-mixture, gray, green.
Deep satin yoke and satin-lined sleeves.
Same fabrics in dressier double-breasted Over-
coats, form-fitting, or with box-back
$40, $45 and $50
But there is wide choice of overcoatings-
Here are wind- and water-proof ulsters of Baltic frieze that weighs 32
ounces to the yard Oxford gray, $35.
Took a great head to work out this trade mark "Wpsnit" for a knitted
overcoating made "out west"--but it's great stuff. A kitten would cuddle in
its softness. Town ulsters, $70..
Germanias made in Holyoke, Mass. some
have plaid back; some plain.
Hockanum lofty, thick ulster stuff.
Vicunas, meltons and worsteds used for the
Chesterfield overcoat.
Worumbo plaid-back and melton finish some
say it's finer than Carr's. And herringbone
and vicuna.
