CHUCK CLAYTON

OUR SEARCH FOR CLOTHING that is in good taste, yet practical for cycle wear, recently led us to Wilson’s House of Suede and Leather in Beverly Hills, California. 9844 Wilshire Blvd., to be exact. There the specialty is leather clothing made of lightweight kid glove material, which is much more clothlike and supple than the more common “cowhide” leathers, yet provides adequate wind and scuff protection.

Most of the designs at Wilson’s are custom made on order, with prices to match, but the fashions modeled here by Miss Tory Heasley are ready made in standard sizes and need only slight alterations to suit individual tastes. They are, we think, a worthy step toward truly dual purpose clothing, practical for riding, and just as attractive off the bike.
