What is Trench Coat? A water-resistant, knee-length coat originally designed for British soldiers in WWI trenches.

A trench coat is a classic spring and fall coat — typically waxed or treated cotton gabardine, mid-thigh or knee-length, double-breasted, with a belt and storm flap. Burberry and Aquascutum are the most famous makers. Trench coats handle light rain, look polished over both casual and formal outfits, and serve as a transitional weight between winter parkas and unstructured spring jackets.
