Black Trench Coat from Our Women's Trench Coats Collection

Introducing our latest masterpiece – the Women's Black Trench Coat. More than another double breasted longline trench coat, this is one of the coats from our women's collection that testifies to a decade of British tailoring excellence that's woven into every stitch. We view crafting the quintessential womens trench coat as a labour of love, which is why every single one of the coats we make is marked by meticulous craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and unwavering dedication. And this iconic coat is another exclusive one in our trench coats collection, steeped in history and brimming with extraordinary features.

From the timeless sleeve straps to the eye-catching check under the collar and the practical gun flap, every detail is a nod to the rich heritage of the trench coat. We've spared no effort in bringing you a coat that's not just stylish, but also functional – a true representation of the classic trench coat's legacy.

But what truly sets this trench coat apart, apart from its black colour, is the sumptuous feel of premium materials against your skin. The exterior is tailored from carefully selected coated twill sourced from the renowned British Millerain, delivering not only exceptional performance but also an indulgent touch.

As you fasten the coat, the satisfaction of real leather buckles and the exquisite beauty of buffalo horn buttons tell you that this is no ordinary belted coat. It's an experience, a blend of history, craftsmanship, and aesthetics.

And let's not forget the real magic – it's made right here in the UK. Our skilled artisans in Suffolk have been crafting tops, coats, jackets, and trousers for years, and each one of the trench coats we offer is a labour-intensive creation that takes over a day to complete. The attention to detail, precision, and passion that go into every piece reflect our commitment to quality.

The History Of The Trench Coat

What we now consider a style icon with unrivalled versatility was born from the most practical of needs and has evolved into an emblem of classic fashion. Believe it or not, the classic trench coat design we admire today has humble origins as a utilitarian garment. Its creation dates back to World War I when the demands of modern warfare necessitated a change in military attire. Soldiers needed a coat that was not only waterproof but also more comfortable and functional than the heavy, itchy wool overcoats they had traditionally worn.

The transformation began with the development of lighter, water-repellent fabrics and innovative tailoring techniques. These new coats were not only more comfortable but also better fitting, designed to accommodate the needs of soldiers on the front lines. Deep pockets and D rings attached to the belt were added to facilitate the carrying of tools, emphasising the coat's practicality.

After World War I, these versatile coats transitioned into civilian life and quickly became a staple in everyday fashion. Their unmatched adaptability was embraced by people from all walks of life. Today, the trench is synonymous with both elegance and practicality, a duality that has stood the test of time.

From the Belted Trench to the Black Trench: A Star-Studded History

The list of iconic celebrities who have been seen wearing trench coats is extensive and includes some of the biggest names in the fashion and entertainment industry. From the belted trench to the black trench, these iconic coats have graced the shoulders of some of the most legendary women in the world of fashion and entertainment.

Take for example Audrey Hepburn who, renowned for her timeless elegance, often chose the belted trench coat as her signature piece. Her iconic look in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" featured a black coat that instantly became synonymous with sophistication and style. Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly was the epitome of classic chic, and her black coat played a pivotal role in creating an enduring fashion statement.

In a more contemporary setting, supermodel Kate Moss has been frequently spotted sporting black coats, showcasing her innate ability to infuse modernity into classic pieces. Moss effortlessly combined the grace of a black coat with her signature edgy style, proving that these coats are not confined to a particular era but are adaptable to any fashion landscape.

Goldie Hawn, with her radiant charm and effervescent personality, embraced the black coat for both casual and formal outings. She added a touch of fun to her ensemble, highlighting the versatility of this timeless piece. Hawn's choice of the black coat emphasised its ability to suit a range of occasions, further cementing its status as a wardrobe essential.

These extraordinary women, among many others, have been pivotal in turning the black coat into an emblem of timeless fashion. Their impeccable style and grace have resonated with fashion enthusiasts, illustrating the enduring appeal of these coats. From the belted trench that graced the shoulders of Audrey Hepburn to the contemporary black trench coats favoured by Kate Moss and Goldie Hawn, these iconic pieces have transcended time and continue to be revered by women from all walks of life.

Our Take on the Timeless Trench Coats: Perfecting the Longline Trench

We've embarked on a journey to reinterpret and perfect the classic trench coat, resulting in our women's trench coats. With a profound appreciation for the coat's rich heritage, we've dedicated a decade of British tailoring excellence to ensure that every aspect of our design honours this timeless legacy. In the fine details, such as the sleeve straps, the distinct check under collar, and the functional gun flap, we pay homage to history while delivering a true classic.

Apart from black, our women's coat is available in three classic colours: grey, navy, and beige, providing a spectrum of styles to match your personal preference. Its design strikes the perfect balance in length, not too long and not too short, making it an ideal companion for a wide array of occasions.

But what about preserving the timeless elegance of these coats? The answer is refreshingly simple—a wet sponge. Our trench coats - be it in black, navy, grey, or beige - boast a distinctive dry wax coating that grant them a water-resistant quality and easy maintenance, making them the perfect water-repellent trench.

It may not be the perfect solution but we always strive to go further, so you can shop for luxury clothing with a clearer conscience.

Would you say your black trench for women is expensive ?

In order to judge the price of a garment you need to know how well it is made and how often you end up wearing it.

In the long term they work out great value for money, and our bespoke sizing on our trousers ensures a great fit that you will want to wear again and again. Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

If we shop with you and buy a coat do we get free returns ?
