 short, waterproof and durable, and is the acknowledged favorite 

 among the discriminating New England fishermen. Price, $15 per 

 dozen.

Used ir. connection with the jacket above described, and also inde- 

 pendently while dressing fish in dry weather. This garment is an 

 absolute necessity with fishermen. Price, $15 per dozen. 



5 teaman's String Pants. 



Used by seamen proper, being very conveniently adjusted to the 

 wearer, an item of vast importance to the sailors of the merchant 

 marine. The waist is made adjustable in size by means of a draw- 

 string running through the waistband, hence the derivation of the 

 name of the garment. Price, $14.50 per dozen. 



e ). Frock or Half Coat. 



A medium length between the long coat and jacket, and used chiefly in 

 connection with long (hip) gum boots, by oyster fishermen; also 

 by sportsmen, with (hunting) gum boots; they are also used in 

 connection with pants. Price, $22 per dozen. 



7. Petticoat Barvell. 



A very useful garment to fishermen, better serving the purpose of 

 pants in warm weather, by permitting the free circulation of air 

 around the body of wearer, and at the : same time affording com- 

 plete protection from wet when used in connection with gum 

 boots. Price, $10.50 per dozen. 



8. Barvell or Apron. 



Used chiefly by fish packers, pork packers, tanners, oystermen, and 

 in fact any class of workmen at a bench where exposed to wet or 

 oil. To leather dressers the barvell is indispensable, inasmuch as 

 the waterproofing compound is unaffected by acids or chemicals. 

 Price $9.50 per dozen. 



9. Sleeves. 



Used in connection with petticoat and apron barvells, and are very 

 convenient to fish packers in protecting shirt sleeves in winter, 

 thereby obviating the necessity of turning shirt sleeves up, and 

 exposing the bare arm in cold weather. Price, $4 per dozen.

Inside sleeves, patched elbow, epaulet on shoulder, &c, made of same
