History
In the world there are a huge number of things that were and will be relevant in the world of the fashion industry. The trench also applies to such things. Any cult thing has its own story. Trench is no exception.
He is a distant relative of the Mac. This is a raincoat made of rubberized fabric that does not get wet, as well as a men's summer coat, which appeared in the early 19th century.
For the first time, trench coats began to be produced during the First World War. Clothing was made for the British infantry, and when the war ended, civilians began to wear it. The supplier for her was Thomas Burberry. The collection of cloak and coat became known as a trench coat.
Trench coats are practical, as they do not get wet and protect well from the wind. Therefore, they are very fashionable for women of any age.
Thomas Burberry became the inventor of gabardine in 1880. This was a great discovery in the fashion industry. Gabardine is a fabric that perfectly repels water, but passes air well, it will undoubtedly last you a long time. And in 1895 an officer cloak appeared, which was mentioned above. Even later, in 1919, the King of England granted Burberry a royal patent.
After a certain time, the famous cell appears. The cloak did not come into fashion immediately, but only after the appearance of H. Bogart in 1942 in Casablanca. After that, film stars begin to wear it, and the heroes of comics, thanks to this, the trench is gaining popularity.
A female trench coat was released in the 1950s. Now it is becoming an indicator of social status.
In the 70s, the cloak personifies rebellious subcultures. In the 80-90s it became a garment among intellectuals and artists. In this regard, the trench is gaining even more popularity and is being replicated by other brands, but does not lose its uniqueness.
After the appearance of the trench coat, Burberry did not change either the cut or the general details.Trench coats of that time still remain relevant and stylish.
Features and Benefits
For the manufacture of raincoats mainly use durable gabardine made of cotton, which is treated with water-repellent impregnation.
The trench coat was created for officers, hence the characteristic details:

Now the new trench coat is about 1,500 euros, but you can also find it cheaper, for example, on sites and in vintage stores. If you want the original Burberry trench coat, you can purchase it on ru.burberry, it will cost an average of 150,000. Do not forget to add a belt, you need to tie it carelessly to give an image of relaxation.
The main feature of the trench coat is the traditional knee length and slightly lower, but there are also elongated models.
Trench coats are:
- straight
- fitted.
The cloak's collar is also unusual. Its lower part is fastened with a button or buckle; this function protects the neck well from the wind. At the back there is a yoke, which is fastened with a button. There is also a button on the pockets, and there are valves, and the sleeves are tightened with straps.
The trench should be selected one size larger so that you can put on a jacket or sweater under it, since by itself it is not warm. But don’t forget, if you take a coat that is too spacious, you will look like the Colombo from the series.
Trench coat looks best with a man’s suit. Although you can safely wear jeans and warm sweaters with a trench coat. The most important thing is not to wear sneakers or sneakers, because after all, trench is classic clothing.
Another feature - the cloak is more spring or autumn, so you should not wear it with sandals.

A black trench coat looks very good on any girl. The peculiarity is that it is difficult to pick up shoes and gloves, since everything can merge into one black spot.
In addition to standard colors, there are collections in green, blue, red, purple, honey and even pink colors.
