Part of Westminster Menswear Archive
The jacket is made of dark blue waterproof nylon and comes to just below the waist with a large hood. The front of the jacket is fastened with both a zip and Velcro weather flap. It is made of two layers, with air trapped between the two designed to keep the wearer warm. The jacket has two pockets, both of which have a large Velcro flap. The hood has a large peak, and two crossing adjustment straps that can be tightened to create a tight seal against the top of the head. These straps are secured with four metal slide buckles. The face of the hood has a large foam-padded mask that goes around the face and across the mouth to keep out the wind and rain, with four holes breathing holes. Made by 'R.F.D.' [R.F.D. Ltd].
