“Edmiston’s Pocket Siphonia or Waterproof Overcoat” Advertisment

Believe it or not – this jacket named in the title only weighed 10 oz. (which is about how much a hamster weighs). It was famous for its lightness, softness, and its ability to adapt for all kinds of people, including sportsmen, travelers, and tourists. The best part of this coat is that you can fold it up so small, it can fit in a pocket or hat!! Its main feature besides being light-weight was that it is waterproof. Not only is it waterproof, it doesn’t absorb heat from the sun, so it keeps you cool too! Then, it had a whole bunch of reviews bragging about how great it is. I kind of want one now, too.
