SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT
RAINCOAT
The cloth made from twisted yarn of the finest Egyptian cot- Lon, has many times the tensile strength of the ordinary light- weight waterproof cloth.
The amazing strength of this cloth prevents the splitting which is a common fault of the Teatherweight Mac, and thus lengthens considerably the period of wear.
The proofing is of the finest, and the coat has a richness of appearance not possessed by other couts of this class.
