Deep In The Trenches


The trench coat; "was developed as an alternative to the heavy serge greatcoats worn by British and French soldiers in the First World War. Invention of the trench coat is claimed by both Burberry and Aquascutum, with Aquascutum's claim dating back to the 1850s. Thomas Burberry, the inventor of gabardine fabric, submitted a design for an army officer's raincoat to the United Kingdom War Office in 1901."

Nowadays it is becoming an essential in a man's wardrobe.
Be it Navy, Beige, or black, it can be worn casual or dressy and can be a deconstructed simple trench or a classic styling.

On a rainy or slightly chilly day it is perfect to throw on as a completion piece to an east sweater and jeans look.
