WATERPROOF
A waterproof which has stood the test of excep- tional heavy rain and proved, what we claim it to be, a thoroughly reliable yet light weight waterproof.
The "MACNOVA" is made to our own design of a specially woven cloth and treated with a patent proofing process which enables it to withstand the peculiarities of the climate.
It is cut on free and easy, yet smart lines, providing perfect comfort in wear, and every detail in the making has the closest scrutiny.
We confidently recommend the "MACNOVA" waterproof, and will replace any coat which fails to give complete and absolute satisfaction.
