There's Real News In Synthetics - - With woolens and worsteds be- coming scarcer and higher in price, more interest is being shown in the newer fabrics of rayons, or rayon and wool blends, for men's and boys' spring apparel. But price and availability are not the only reasons for the increased acceptance of synthetics--for the new rayon suitings are intrinsically good. They lend themselves to smart and new coloring and styling. They tailor well, keep their shape, and hold a press. Most of these fabrics are especially treated for crease-resistance. Spring-weight and summer suits of nylon, which enjoyed such pop- ularity last year, will again figure in the cool calculations of men who seek the utmost iu warm- weather comfort. And nylon is slated for wider usage in all-season fabrics as well, in many cases com- bined with wool. Sheen and solid gabardine, shark- skin types, novelty patterns, checks and glen plaids are particularly suc- cessfuly among the synthetics for suit fabrics, slacks and casual sport coats. Excellent rayon flannels and rayon challis done in wool-like pat- terns, colors and with a remarkable ', wool-like feel are also making an appearance in new spring sport shirt lines.
