New York 1915

New coat from Bellas Hess & Co.

A few raincoat features

The new coat as illustrated combines all the latest style features with warmth and storm proof qualities, being made of heavy rubberized covert cloth. It is now on the market in the fashionable shades of gray and tan. It has a full skirt and raglan sleeves with button-trimmed cuffs. The collar may be worn rolled back in Quaker effect or turned up high around the neck. Such a coat with the collar turned up, and with pockets and vents for the hands—when worn in combination with a hat as illustrated, makes the carrying of an umbrella unnecessary. This hat is made in rubberized material in colors to match the coat, and with the brim turned down protects the face in the severest weather.
