Men Trench Coat

The History of the Trench Coat

Originally designed by Thomas Burberry for British officers during World War I, the men’s trench coat was historically a “trench garment.” Recognizable by its soft fabric reaching the calves, this iconic waterproof coat soon captivated civilians and was immortalized by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca in 1942. On screen, it became the signature look of private detectives. The shorter trench, also created for English soldiers before becoming a city staple, grew in popularity throughout the 20th century, embraced by urbanites charmed by its distinctive details: shoulder epaulets, under-collar flap, and belt loops.

Built to withstand the elements, the men’s trench has continuously evolved while preserving its identity, making it a mid-season wardrobe essential. With its water-repellent properties, it fulfills its primary function flawlessly. Worn open or belted, over chinos or dress trousers, the trench coat accompanies you effortlessly, protecting against wind and rain without ever sacrificing style.
