VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for R. N. A. S. (Royal Naval Air Service) complete equipment, featuring two types of coats: a flying coat and a 'Rabocal' coat. The image shows an illustration of a man confidently posing in the flying coat with his left hand on his hip and looking off into the distance, suggesting readiness and adventure. The text details: - FLYING COAT: As sketched, it is made from black leather, chrome dressed, lined with fleece, priced at £5 5s 0d. - 'RABOCAL' COAT: Also as sketched (though not visible in this image), lined buoyant material for £6 6s 0d. Both items are described as tested under severe conditions to provide correct support by keeping the head and shoulders well out of water. It's mentioned that as a lining it is warmer than fleece or fur. At the bottom of the ad is an invitation to "Write for new free publication 'War Paint, ' containing many practical tips for campaigners, " offered by Robinson & Cleaver Ltd. , The Linen Hall, Regent Street, London W. The style of clothing along with pricing in shillings indicates that this advertisement likely dates back to around World War I when such attire would have been relevant for members of military aviation services like the R. N. A. S.
