Scope and content
In this fashion layout for the Tacoma Times fall fashion edition, three young adults prepared to go back to college in style. They were loading a convertible with their matching luggage to return to school. Don Rasmussen, left, was wearing a double breasted Hart Schaffner & Marx triple worsted Glen plaid suit of Air Force Blue. His wing tip shoes were from Nunn Bush. Doug Howe (in the convertible) was wearing a three button Pan American shetland suit in the new olive drab shade. Judy Fraser was wearing a camel's hair "Season Skipper" coat. The colors and styles were being influenced by military uniforms during the buildup prior to the US entry into WWII. (T. Times 9/10/1941, pg. 9)
