How to Button a Coat. '
The art of properly buttoning a coat
-any coat—Is. do It the other way
That is to say that nine out of every
ten of us button our coats the wrong
way. We commence with the topmost
button when we should commence with
the bottommost.
The frailest portion of a coat. In re
spect to shape retaining qualities—no
matter bow well made—Is the region of
collar and lapels. The swagger mer
chant tailor always coutlcns bis cus
tomer to “wear It buttoued a few (lays
so that the collar may set properly."
Then, this admitted. It follows that
mgs nnd strains affecting this part of
the garment tend to destroy Its sym
metry. Drawing the coat together by
the top button and buttonhole for the
purpose of fastening exerts a pull all
around the shoulders and neck region,
which, by repetition. In time will give
the smartest coat a buug dog appear
