Many of the inexpensive pieces are produced in terra cotta—not with the bright, shiny glaze such as one sees in dishes at a pottery works—but in soft earthy shades of burnt sienna, Indian red, deep wine, beige, chrome yellow and even' slate blue and nile green. Others are made of weather-resistant cast stone—a somewhat glorified concrete which has been so compounded, with powdered and finely chipped stone, that the product may be easily mis-with a big panel in front to be easy for walking and a belted and yoked coat, buttoning down the single front. Here the waist fits, and the same line is observed in the long coat with big revers and square shoulders, This is double-breasted and has flapped pockets on the hips. Many of these suits and coats are made in fawn, bronze, and all the tones that go with khaki. There is a pale khaki used for suits which goes well with deep Air Force blue fittings.
Finally there is the suit or dress which serves most purposes and looks smart both in the morning and in the afternoon. This is usually black or blue, especially in the case of the dress. The front is worked in white embroidery or sometimes colour is used, and the skirt is pleated in front so that the panel looks like a swinging apron. The collar, and sometimes the edge of the skirt, is worked in white stitchery. The suit has a skirt with a straight back and gores crowded together in front. From one shoulder, perhaps, and at the pockets hangs a lanyard in loops.
