EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from 1916 showcases Turnbull and Asser's military outfits, designed with the utmost care and consideration for the comfort of soldiers during the harsh conditions of the First World War. The ad highlights three essential items that were crucial for the British army: Chamois leather drawers, Chamois leather jackets, and Khaki stocking puttees. The Chamois leather drawers, also known as "shammy" underwear, were a game-changer for soldiers exposed to damp, wind, and cold. The chamois leather material provided perfect comfort and absolute warmth, making it an indispensable garment for those braving the unforgiving weather at the front lines. The Chamois leather jackets were another essential addition to the Turnbull and Asser military uniform. These jackets offered the maximum amount of warmth with the minimum of weight, allowing soldiers to stay warm while maintaining mobility. Lastly, the Khaki stocking puttees were designed for both home service and active duty. When off parade, they served as practical and stylish attire. However, when out of the firing line or during downtime, they proved to be an essential piece of clothing for keeping soldiers' legs warm and dry. This advertisement is a testament to Turnbull and Asser's commitment to providing high-quality, functional clothing for the British army during the First World War. The date, 1916, serves as a reminder of the significant role these military outfits played in ensuring the comfort and well-being of soldiers during one of history's most challenging conflicts.
