"THRESHER TRENCH COAT 
WINDPROOF AND 
WEATHERPROOF 
Recognised by. the W.O. and officially 
brought to the notice of all Officers com- 
manding Corps in the B.E.F. early in the 
Winter of 1914, the " Thresher " has 
successfully met the severest tests of two 
Winter campaigns, and has estaiilished 
itself supreme for comfort, warmtli, and 
service. 
Up to June ISIk, I9I6. 7,800 British Military 
Officers have purchased (enuine " Thresher " 
Tren.h Coats. This fact alone mskes it 
unnecessary to publish even one of the many 
generous and extraordinary testimonials that 
have been received. 
SUMMER WEAR 
The outstanding fact is that orders 
from B.E.F. were received continuously 
during last Summer, neither is there yet 
any signs of the demand slackening, which 
confirms our statement that the 
" Thresher " with detachable Kamelcott 
Uning is the best garment for erery pur- 
pose and every season. The " Thresher " 
self-ventilating system is protected. (Pat. 
No. 14229/15.)

Extract (Land & Water, May 25th) 
by the " L. & W." Kit Expert. Doubtless 
he had the " Thresher " in mind. 
" In more than one case objections have 
been raised against the oiled-silk lined 
trench coat for summer wear on the ground 
that it is too heavy ; the objection is a 
needless one, for, when one comes to consider 
the build of this pattern of coat, it will be 
seen that its weight is equivalent to that of a 
light raincoat, plus the few ounces weight 
of the oiled silk interlining — when the fleece 
or other detachable lining has been taken out 
of the trench coat. Objections on the score 
of ventilation are equally groundless, for 
the trench coat as now made is as well 
ventilated, and as hygienic in wear, as any 
other overcoat designed for military pur- 
poses."
