Chinese Influence.

The swagger coat has departed, and in its stead we have the coolie coat—hip-length, loose-fitting. With its round yoke and link fastening, it gives the correct Chinese coolie line. Another adoption for the successfully slim is the Chinese tunic, a delightful fashion, with its little Chinese collar standing stiffly up round the neck-line.

Russia contributes the Cossack coat with its wide revers, worn with a fur cravat and cap.
