What is a trench coat? Features, history, and recommended men's items of the model considered to be the perfection.

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

The throat latch is a small belt that is stored behind the collar of a classic trench coat with authentic specifications. It serves to cover the hooked collar from above to prevent rain and wind from entering. Sometimes called chin warmers.

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.

Trench coat detail (9) “Arm belt”

Cuffs are belted to prevent cold wind and rain from entering. The belt on the cuffs is another functional design feature unique to the trench coat.

The above are typical details of the classic trench coat. Other specifications such as lining and liner, which vary from brand to brand, are also points to be checked. When considering the purchase of a trench coat, please take a look at them for reference.
