They are certainly among the most popular sports
coats that havo bsen here this year, not only for motor

plenty of warmth, for they are lined with chamois skin.
Just the one style in a pretty fawn color. It is
hip length, somewhat flaring toward the hem and it
has an inverted pleat in the back and a belt all around.
