Men's Trench Coats

A luxury trench coat that reflects it’s rich heritage should include several key features. Firstly it should include epaulettes which originally were used to denote military rank. In addition there should be a gun flap which unsurprisingly would be used to protect your weapon and along with the windbreaker on the back offered the wearer additional protection from the elements. The original trench coat was double breasted which again with two layers overlapping offered extra protection against the weather and rain. In addition you will find straps on the sleeves which can be tightened around your wrists to protect air getting in. Our heritage trench coats include all these features along with a check under collar. The length of a mens trench coat is also an important choice. We offer a short trench, a long trench and a mid length trench that offers the wearer protection against wind and rain.
