GABARDINE SUIT. 



GABARDINE 



The Registered name of Burberry Material, which has done more than 

 any other item of Exploration Equipment to bring the darkest recesses of 

 the earth into the light of human knowledge. 



In Gabardine a Sportsman can face the cruellest thorns and heaviest 

 rains, the Mountaineer can scale the steepest heights. 



Everywhere between Petersburg and Gibraltar or Cape Town and 

 Cairo, from Bombay through Tibet to Pekin, across the great islands of 

 Australasia and the lonely atolls of the Pacific to the two Americas — 

 from farthest South to Farthest North, Gabardine has afforded protection 

 and comfort to pioneers of Science, Sport, or Civilisation. For the less 

 hazardous purposes of Shooting and Fishing at home, or for Winter 

 Sports in Switzerland, Gabardine is " facile princeps." 



Light-in-weight, Air-free and Weatherproof, Warm in the cold of 

 Winter, Cool in the heat of Summer. No more cogent evidence of 

 Gabardine's extraordinary qualities could be instanced than the fact that 

 all Polar Expeditions have been fitted out with the tropical texture of 

 this fabric — thinner than that recommended for the regions of the Equator. 



July, 1909, Mr. Bede J. B. Bentley says : — 



" 1 am returning one of your Justly famous Burberry Coats used by me on my 

 recent automobile tour across Somallland and Abyssinia. It has had twelve months 

 of the roughest work it was possible to put it to— in fact, unjustly so ; but It still 

 retains all Its waterproof properties. 



" To give you en Idea as to how roughly It was used— I used to put four sticks 

 In the ground, tie up the corners, and use It as a bath. On several occasions, 

 when crossing rivers with my car, I used to cover the front of the radiator with it 

 to prevent the rush of water to the engine. I have used it to store water in when 

 In camp. After losing all my blankets 1 used to sleep In it. 



"During part of the journey through Somaliland, where we had to cut a 

 passage through the heavy scrub, my clothes got so torn that I had It to protect 

 myself. The driving aprons I made Into a bivouac, but they were stolen by natives 

 on the latter part of the trip. 



" My tents were a great success in the tropical rains. I have tried so many SO- 

 CALLED waterproofs in various parts of Africa, but they only remain so for the 

 first few weeks. 



"MY MOTTO NOV/ IS, WEAR A BURBERRY AND KEEP DRY."
