Holdsworth 1931 Advertisement — 1931 Suit Patterns (Four Grades of Tweed)

Cycling, 6 February 1931.

YOU will be delighted with the
1931 SUIT PATTERNS
FOUR GRADES OF TWEEDS—Popular, Standard, Ascot and Berwick.
Every range consists of entirely new patterns which include all the latest shades and designs. You can rely upon the wearing qualities of all. They have been specially selected for Cycling Wear.
You will also appreciate the fact that these suits are cut specially to give comfort when cycling. Holdsworth’s suits are the original comfort suits.
As a further contribution towards smart but easy wear I have this year introduced the
“COMFYCUT” STYLE.
This is as illustrated, and you will notice that by means of two “half pleats” practically the entire back is converted into a large box pleat. You will appreciate that this must give entire freedom and yet when off the cycle the back is quite neat. You can, of course, have the more usual Plain Lounge Jacket, or the “Comfort Pleated” Back if preferred.
FREE PATTERN BUNCHES—All clearly marked and priced—simple self-measurement form and tape measure—BY RETURN.
