Inspired by the Ku Klux Klan?

Fire-proofed. Yes, if I can get it in white. Can I get it by April 1 for a little bonfire party we have planned.

I'm surprised it doesn't have a built-in gas mask.

I'll bet that any New York fashionista wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of those.

Of course, every woman in WWII Britain would be rushing to her clothing coupon stash for them!

If anything ever does happen money, gold, etc won't be worth anything. I put my money in long lasting food stores, life water straws and a deep well, and lots of guns and ammo. Not to mention my nice shelter with amenities. Patty etc will be there with me .. all the rest of you good luck.
