Trench Coats
There are few items of clothing that truly deserve the word classic without stealing it from nostalgia. The trench coat is one of them. It has been doing the exact same job for over a hundred years and has never run out of reasons to exist.
That isn’t sentiment. That’s a track record. For us, what makes a great trench coat worth caring about isn’t only the silhouette.
It’s the weight of the fabric that moves with you without billowing. It’s the collar that looks exactly right when you pop it up against real wind. It’s the belt that ties rather than buckles, because tied is almost always better.
It’s the lining that won’t make you sweat through a temperate October afternoon. It’s all of these little details that separate the want from the pass on’s and we’ve been paying attention to every last one of them when building this collection. We’ve also paid attention to range.
There’s a reason a classic camel or khaki double breasted trench is a wardrobe anchor. It earns every penny of its price tag over years of constant use. But we’ve included shorter versions for women who feel overwhelmed by the traditional midi fit.
We included unexpected colors for those who want function of a classic trench with a trench coat styled outfit that refuses to blend into the background. We’ve included oversized fits that work equally well thrown over wide leg trousers. We’ve included belted styles that give you a waist without asking you to squat or suck in.
The trench solves a very specific and repetitive problem. It has throughout its lifetime. What do you wear when it’s not quite cold enough to justify a proper coat but too cool or unpredictable not to?
It just so happens to be the finishing touch that makes pretty much anything you’re wearing underneath it look more put together. Throw one over jeans and a basic tee and you’ve got yourself a full outfit. That isn’t magic.
That is just proportion and structure doing what they do best. We’ve kept this edit small because the category doesn’t need endless options. It needs the right ones.
You know, the trench that you’ll be sure to reach for decade after decade because it will still look just as good when you pull it out of your closet ten years from now as it did the first time you wore it. That was the standard we held each and every one of these trenches to.
