SJiotis by Quentin's Coats by Gepetto's
By Jane Owens and Vince Boucher
Perhaps it's only wishful thinking, but living on
the Great Plains hasn't stopped students from buying
ski jackets.
This winter's ski coat, made of nylon and often
having quilted stitching, definitely is one of the most
popular and practical coats around for both men and
women.
Also big on the college scene are men and
women's fitted waist-length bicycle jackets in large
wool plaids, ribbed corduroy or synthetic leather
trimmed in fake fur or sherpa (false fleece).
Leather, traditionally a favorite winter warmer, is
featured less frequently. For most students rising
costs have outpriced genuine leather garments. More
refined and subtler imitation hides and emphasis on
wooly fabrics have made leather less important.
Although short 'lengths have seemed to capture
the women's casual scene, coats for dressier occasions
are brushing the knee or a bit below it.
Still one of the biggest sellers in dressy coats is the
40s wrap. Buyers say the appeal is its classic good
looks. Camel's hair and wool plaids are most
frequently used in wrap styles.
Longer coals also have marched into the male
domain. More emphasis on tailoring is evident,
including details such as caped shoulders, yokes,
buckled sleeves, topstitching and tie or buckle belts.
These styles, reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart, arc
revived in camel, navy, neutnJ plaids and tweed.
Shorter men's coats also are evident in hip length
styles. Most are tailored, often with elastic-backed
shaping. Wool melton, a Hat, thick weave, is used in
navy and earth tones.
Topping off outdoor looks are cuffed slocking
hats, ski caps and slouchy felt hats with brims turned
up in front.
Gloves and mittens? The word for women is fun.
They're going lo be multicolored and wild. Men will
find suede mittens and smooth leather ski gloves.
