Beards Fade From Fashion As New Style Emerges
A noted authority says the pointed beard once popular since Henry I is passing from fashion. The new beard style trims the point, resembles the old but with the tip cut off, echoing a cycle from Henry III and Duc de Guise times. Fibrella flax fiber is proposed as a cotton substitute, claimed to suit current machinery and boost product value. Experts say woolen and cotton makers benefit, with two processing routes using short or long staples.
