I It started in Hollywood. Where the Gables and Taylors are putting new punch Into male fashions. It is going to town, like nothing we've ever seen. Because it's different. It is packed with pep.

It looks like ready money. Bond "Rough Stuff" is tweed at its best with a dozen new variations. With wide herringbone motifs. With colorful nubs. Again, "Rough Stuff" is a rich blend of worsted and cheviot, subdued in tone.

With faintly traced windowpane squares, or perfectly plain. Wear it to business. Wear it for sports. Wear it for plain or fancy loafing. And wear it hard.

"Rough Stuff" has the "come back" persistance of a bulldog. See this new smash hit in Bond's windows, this week. Pick the style you like best, before it's gobbled up by the Fall shopping crowd. The $30 group is Rochester tailored. The $35, Park Lane Quality, imported woolens.
