A survey of the Australian Wool Board 1965 Fashion Awards showcases showerproof wool outfits for travel and daily wear. The collection features frocks, coats, three piece ensembles, tweed suits, and tailored jackets in muted checks and yellows with geometric motifs.
The article describes advances in wool fibre research led by CSIRO and industry bodies aiming to improve permanent pleating for menswear and women's garments. It notes how wool's properties, processing methods, and the proposed long term benefits for Australian fashion are being explored, including color stability and fabric durability.
