A MAN S COAT 
WAR'S a rough game, anyhow — a grim, 
dour game, with the stark savagery 
of the weather as background to its 
wild variety of minor miseries. No job for 
women or weaklings — a Man's Game. 
And the Thresher's a Man's Coat — a fighting 
man's fighting coat. The rawest, bleakest 
job that the General Staff could invent, 
cannot frighten the man who tackles it 
Thresher-clad. 
The coat that will stand the hardest-slogging 
I rain as long as it hkes to keep on slogging 
and never ship a drop, is a useful sort of 
billet-mate. No exaggeration in that— no 
\yater can pass the special inner lining 
(inner because the outside shell of khaki 
drill takes the rough wear and tear — and 
takes it " standing up "). And when your 
nose and ears are shouting to you how blis- 
teringly cold it is, while from neck to knees 
you're enjoying Henley weather, you think 
very kindly of the man who thought out 
the Thresher and put that snug innermost 
warmth-lining there, making it detachable 
moreover, for days and occasions when you 
don't want to carry winter-weight. 
And all the dear little draughts and rain- 
trickles that used to wrigglQ in at neck and 
wrists when your coat wasn't a Thresher — 
where are they ? 
Ask the clever little Thresher comfort- dodges, 
the neat little collar-and-cuff-contrivances 
which give the finishing touch to the 
Thresher's fighting qualities. 
W.O. recommended the Thresher to O.C's 
first year of the war. Over 12,000 officers 
have taken the official tip — and been glad 
of it since, on many a raw, soaking day.

t might tell you that no other toat can take 
the place of your Trench Coot for comfort and 
protection. As for 'wear, there is nothing M 
be said; after nine months of daily use and 
rough treatment my coat is just as serviceabtr 
as when it was new.
