THE LATEST AUTOMOBILE APPAREL. 



\X/ HATEVER the visitors to the great automobile shows 

 may go to see, they will find bids for their attention 

 made by the exhibitors of many other articles than automobiles. 

 The fact that there are certain accessories without which motor- 

 ing would not be comfortable, or even practicable, and the mak- 

 ers of such goods flocked to Madison- Square Garden (New 

 York) at the recent show to place them upon exhibition. Par- 

 ticiil:irly was motoring apparel in evidence, and in great variety, 

 forming one of the most interesting features of the show. 



Authorities on the subject say that the 1907 woman motorist 

 must have five different costumes. These are a satin rubberized 

 coat for rainy weather; a full length duster for touring and 

 windy weather, driving in the city; a long coat for shopping 

 trips ; a heavy fur coat for all round winter use, and a waterproof 

 leather coat for cold weather. 



The numerous styles of headgear include caps of fur, rubber 

 and cloth for winter, and of silk, mohair, pongee and linen for 

 summer. Then, for protecting the back of the head and neck, 

 there are many varieties of dust-proof hoods and capes. Hoods, 

 as a rule, now take the place of goggles for women, but there are 

 some made of gauze wire with detachable pongee masks. 



In men's apparel the most important acquisition is a fur coat 

 reaching to the ground. One must also have a double-breasted 

 coat. The correct thing for wet weather is a rubber shirt, with 

 cap, hood and boots to match, either in red, gray, black or tan. 



Fur caps to match coats or heavy leather caps are right for 

 winter wear, while light leather and soft caps are in season at 

 all times. Tlie goggles most affected fit close to the face and 

 do not interfere with the cap. 



ENGLISH MOTOR APPAREl NOTES. 



The Dunlop company no longer confine themselves to the 

 tire manufacture, but are prepared to supply many other acces- 

 sories of motoring, not the least of which is an extensive line 

 of motorists' apparel, all of which is waterproof. Their display 

 of such goods at the recent automobile shows in London 

 was remarked upon as being composed of garments that were at 

 once smart and serviceable. 



A motor coat made by a leading London firm is of conven- 

 tional appearance when buttoned up. though possessing some dis- 

 tinctive features in construction. From the shoulder downwards 

 there is an interior attachment made of wool or camel fleece, and 

 buttoning fairly loosely. Round it are stitched a series of elastic 

 bands, which keep the garment close to the body, and yet give 

 the maximum of freedom. 



.\ form of motorists' coat seen in London this winter serves 

 all the purposes of a rug, and yet allows room for the steering 

 pillar to pass between the legs. The front of this coat is in 

 reality formed by expanding pleats, so arranged that when the 

 wearer is seated, the pleats open, thereby allowing room for 

 the steering pillar and giving great freedom to the legs by re- 

 lieving the knees of weight. 



The "Stuart Albany" ponchos, for motoring, made by a Lon- 

 don firm, are made with drist straps, pockets, and a cleverly de- 

 vised neck opening, which it is possible to close up practically 

 watertight.
