Fireproof Air-Raid Clothing Combines Safety and Style
Item
How British women may satisfy their desire to be fashionably attired and yet provide protection in the face of air raids, is demonstrated by an air-raid costume designed by Mrs. Frances Ruskin of New York City. It is made of fiber material resembling khaki, rendered fireproof by a du Pont process. Slacks are worn instead of skirt, and a pointed hood hanging from the shoulders has slits for vision when it is pulled down over the head, completely protecting the face and eyes. The non-inflammable garment, light in weight and easy to put on, guards against heat from incendiary bombs. The blouse has pockets front and back in which are inserted plastic plates a quarter-inch thick, protecting the vital organs from flying objects.
