Ursula Suit
This uniform from the 1940s belongs to a submariner. In 1937 George Philips became the Captain of a submarine called HMS Ursula. He was unhappy with the types of clothes submariners had to wear when watchkeeping on top of the submarine in bad weather so he designed his own type of uniform for protection against the rain and sea.
