Trench coat detail (7) “Throat latch (chin warmer, chin strap)”

Trench coat detail #8: “Through pockets”

The trench coat has its origins in the Tylocken coat. At that time, tie-locken coats had no pockets, but only a slit on the inside for putting hands inside. The trench coat of the authentic version reproduces the vestiges of this style, with through pockets that allow the wearer to put his hands inside the box pockets. This allows the wearer to access small items stored in the pockets of tailored jackets and pants even when the coat is worn with the belt and placket fastened. In some cases, through pockets have large pockets beyond the through pockets that can hold newspapers or magazines. It is also convenient for carrying books to read when traveling by train or bus.
