THE STUDIO --- Aquascutum Rufford Coat Aquascutum Frinton Coat Aquascutum Lingfield Coat THE CONTRASTING 'SCUTUM WEATHERPROOF PICTURE the contrast between the old-time drab and unhygienic mackintosh and the present-day colourful 'Scutum Weatherproof. . . . Of unalloyed wools, proofed against rain, yet air-free and chillproof, the 'Scutum Weatherproof is easy to don, easy to doff, well-balanced, and burdenless. Imagine this wonderful colour combination: Taken at random from hundreds of 'Scutum patterns is one of dove-coloured fawn, overchecked by half-inch-wide softly streaked bars in cinnamon, one of the many colour combinations obtainable only of Aquascutum Ltd. To fully appreciate the vast colour range and the quality of the cloths in which the 'Scutum Weatherproof is made for ladies and gentlemen it is needful to see and handle these 'Scutum patterns. A post-card will bring along post haste a varied assortment of inimitable 'Scutum colourings, plain and over-checked, together with a booklet of styles . . . just mention “Studio.” Agents in most towns.
