THE 
WEATHERCRAFT 
OF WAR 
HUSTLING the Hun " is a strenuous sort 
of pastime. Played in summer, in tor- 
rents of rain, it gives a man a free choice 
of two evils. It puts him between the devil of 
the fuggy old full length waterproof and the 
deep sea of sodden clothing. 
Just here is where the Thresher Field Jerkin 
comes in — unmistakably the garment for 
strenuous work in warm wet weather. 
Look at the smart workmanlike cut of the 
thing, the loose freedom of the shoulders, the 
spring of the skirt for shooting the rain away 
from the legs. What chance has rain or wind 
of getting in at neck, front or wrists ? As for 
their getting through the material, it's enough 
to say that the Thresher Field Jerkin is as 
wind-and-wet- proof as the Thresher Trench 
Coat — and fifteen thousand officer-wearers have 
sufficiently proved those qualities in the latter. 
You couldn't get wet in a Thresher Field Jerkin — not if the bottom fell out 
altogether from old Jupiter Pluvius' watering-pot. You can work in it all 
day like a Trojan (you'll probably have to I) without even noticing its weight, 
and the rougher the demands you make upon the hard-wearing properties of 
its outer shell of hard khaki drill, the better you'll be pleased with your bargain. 
The Thresher Field Jerkin is designed to be worn with short waterproof 
trunk overalls.
