Coats.

Utility coats are mostly plain and belted with moderate collars and revers, and a slight shoulder fulness in the sleeve. Some styles with front closing from neck to hem, are collarless. Popular, too, will be the top-coat with swinging lines and loose sleeves set in deep armholes.

The tie-sash, so popular in frocks, is seen also in coats. A dressy coat, with tie-sash and front closing, has very wide, stiffly-stitched revers which stand out straight along the shoulder line, and are cut straight to a point at the waist, giving a triangular bib effect.
