THE first "Thresher" set and sealed 
the standard in trench-coats. The 
original coat, supplied on recommenda- 
tion by the British War Office to Officers 
Commanding Corps in the Winter 
Campaign of '14, the "Thresher" remains 
the model trench-coat of to-day— the most 
widely-imitated military garment of the War. 
The 6rst "Thresher" was designed by Chas. Glenny, 
of this house, in October, 1914. At present over 
10,000 are being worn by officers of the British Army. 
Great Coat, British Warm, Raincoat — all in one. 
Such is the "Thresher." Outer shell is hard-wearini; 
waterproof khaki drill. Under this comes a protected 
oiled silk inter inin:< — the one difficult, the other 
impossible of wet-penetration. 
Under this again is a sheepskin lining, for warmth in 
winter; absolutely wind and weatherproof. This is 
detachable, and may b; interchanged with Kamelcott 
lining for autumn ; for summer or warm weather the 
coat is worn without lining. 
Dry in 4-hour Tropical Downpour. 
" Lcist night we had a trupical tlamderstonn for 
over four hours, and ;/our coat kept me quite dry."
