What is a trench coat? A masterpiece coat born in World War I that tickles a man’s fancy.

The trench coat is said to have originated as a waterproof coat worn by the British army during World War I in the trenches. It is characterized by its excellent durability and waterproofness, as well as its “functional beauty” design based on the functionality of combat uniforms. After World War II, they became popular as authentic fashion items instead of combat uniforms. The famous actors in movies such as “Brit” and “Casablanca” wore them, and they have been passed down to the present day.

The most distinctive feature of the trench coat is the fabric. The classic trench coat is made of gabardine, a fabric invented by Burberry’s founder Thomas Burberry in 1879. Gabardine is an excellent fabric that is waterproofed before being worsted, and then densely woven to improve water repellency and durability. At a time when rubberized raincoats were the norm, this gabardine garnered a great deal of attention. The name “gabardine” comes from the word “gaberdine (gabardine, gabardine),” which came to mean a cloak for rain or a smock for body protection.
