A sprawling survey predicts an all-silk haberdashery season with silk shirts, gloves, belts, and hosiery shaping shelves. Prominent items include mushroom plaited shirts, negligee shirts, cross printed patterns, and wide variety of ties and hatwear. Final notes urge cautious inventory as consumer tastes shift toward bright raw silks and refined accessories.
A period piece on spring boys apparel highlights Norfolk suits as the dominant style for ages 8 to 18, with inverted plaited Norfolk and box platted Norfolk among favored looks. Trousers shift to straight or knickervockers, washable Norfolk fabrics rise, and new details like detachable bells and Dutch sal t notions appear.
Fashion notes describe spring trends in men shoes with cloth tops, varied color contrasts, and the rise of button shoes for early wear while laced oxfords remain common. Rubber soles face heat downsides, Elkskin and straw soles gain interest, and white canvas and buckskin options appear in light, cool designs across flat and custom lasts.
A prominent hat buyer discusses evolving spring styles. Derby remains popular with slight crown changes and narrower brims, Black and Brown dominate. Fedoras regain popularity with higher crowns and narrower brims in green blue gray and brown hues. Mushroom and telescope hats rise, cloth Nor folk style returns, and straw hats shift to lower crowns with varied shapes. Panamas, silks, and caps introduce new colors and patterns for the season.
