Perhaps no garment is as romanticized as the trench coat; from South Africa to France to Casablanca to London, it has remained functional and almost unchanged for over 100 years.
Look closely at the pictures in this article and you’ll notice the trench coat of a century ago is almost identical to those sold in shops today. Surprisingly, very few men sport a trench coat nowadays despite its enduring heritage.
For WWI, Burberry redesigned the coat to include D-rings and shoulders straps, and the British War Board ordered over half a million of them for the military’s officers. The coat quickly became a coveted item among soldiers; it held its own in cold weather by utilizing a wool blanket insert and also served as an emergency sleeping system. The coat earned its name from the protection and mobility it provided to the men fighting in the war’s infamous trenches.
Nowadays we see them all over the place celebrities and laymen all love the trench. No other brand does the trench better than Burberry. I love you Burberry.
