ANDERSONS' 

 CELEBRATED " BREADALBANE " WATERPROOF 



SHOOTING COSTUME. 



Extract from the " FIELD," Dec. i2th, 1891. 



SIR, The letters on "Shooting Garments for Rough Weather" in your last issue will 

 doubtless be read with interest by those who, like myself, require garments which when 

 donned will not only allow the wearer to SHOOT WITH EASE 

 AND COMFORT, but which will comply with the (to my mind) 

 far more important conditions of LIGHTNESS AND DURA- 

 BILITY, and of allowing the wearer to put them on and off 

 without loss of time. I have at length 

 secured what I have for some time been on 

 the look out for, viz., combination water- 

 proof garments, which, while fulfilling 

 the above conditions, also keep me ABSO- 

 LUTELY DRY IN THE HEAVIEST RAIN. 

 MY "COMBINATION," the excellence of 

 which I have had lately ample facility of 

 putting to the proof, is of the following descrip- 

 tion : Besides the usual shooting cape (fitted 

 with straps passing under the arms, to admit of 

 the cape being thrown off the shoulders when 

 required), I wear, when the weather demands 

 it, a skirt or kilt of the same material as the 

 cape. THIS SKIRT buckles round the waist, 

 and reaches down a couple of inches or so below 

 the top of the gaiters. TH E CAPE is made long 

 enough to reach down some loin, below the top 

 of the skirt, thus covering TWO CAPACIOUS 

 CARTRIDGE POCKETS (which are also pro- 

 tected by flaps) placed on either side of the skirt. 

 Capes are all very well to keep the shoulders dry, 

 but naturally they drip at the corners, thereby 

 before very long effectually wetting the thighs 

 and legs the wet, moreover, eventually soaking 

 into the boots. I, in common with many others, 

 can no longer risk with impunity sitting down to 

 lunch with wet legs and feet. TH E CAPE AND 

 SKIRT worn together will, as I have stated, 

 keep legs and thighs, as well as the shoulders, 

 absolutely dry in the heaviest downpour. The 

 material I selected is very light and durable, as 

 well as perfectly waterproof, and the two gar- 

 ments can be put on and off in a very short 

 time (which is more than can be said of the 

 smock), and are quite comfortable to walk in. 

 They fit into a valise about i8in. by 8in., which 

 can be slung over the shoulder, and weighs but 

 little. Messrs. Anderson, Anderson, and 

 Anderson, of 37, Queen Victoria Street, made 

 mine to order, and though I claim 

 no originality for them (I believe 

 they have been used before now), I 

 am bound to say they fulfil the con- 

 ditions I insisted on that I should 

 be able to SHOOT WITH EASE, 

 WALK ANY DISTANCE WITH 

 EASE, AND, ABOVE ALL, KEEP 

 DRY. SOLDAT.
