We notice range of cold weather coats for boys. Kamella produced casual clothes and inclenent weather wear. We do not know much about the company, but the name seems to be a play on cammel. And of course cammel hair overcoats were a popular standard. We notice a Kamella advertisement in Parents magazine During November 1962 offering inclement weather outerwear, both snow suits and rain suits for younger children. The British term 'infants' means todlers and younger primary school children.

We notice a Kamella advertisement in Parents magazine During November 1962 offering inclement weather outerwear, both snow suits and rain suits for younger children.
