            New Clothing
   New clothing could be purchased during the war through the coupon
   scheme with every civilian issued with a coupon book. 
   Each type of garment was given a points value e.g. 11 coupons were 
   needed for a dress and 8 coupons for a man’s pair of trousers. 
   At the start of rationing each adult was given the allocation of 66 points 
   per year, but coupons shrank every year as the war progressed.
        Siren Suits – Toilet Trips!
    During the war a special all-in-one garment called a ‘Siren Suit’ was
    worn by men, woman and children during air-raids. 
    These garments were worn over night-clothes in the event of an air-raid 
    and were easily taken on and off with button and zip closures.
    There was even a panel in the rear of the garment to make trips to
    the toilet easier for the wearer!!!
             Knit for Victory
    Knitting was hugely popular during the war and contributed to the war 
    effort. 
    There wasn’t much wool so knitters had to be creative in their designs, 
    often using mismatching wool to finish garments resulting in unusual
    patterns and colours. 
    People would use jumpers by unwinding them and using the
    wool to knit a new garment from scratch.
        Did you know?
   Children were encouraged to ‘knit for victory’ in 
           schools
   with young boys and girls knitting socks, scarves, 
            hats
   and gloves in Army colours as part of the war 
           effort.
