The Trenches

I guess I kinda answered that...probably have to go with the Slick alternative...hire a Japanese translator and person with an account.

Theory garments just don't warrant the prices they charge. They aren't doing anything groundbreaking and their quality is mediocre. Biggest mistake I made was buying a cashmere/wool blazer by them for $350 (on sale, mind you).........buttons all fell off within 2 weeks

Best (and pretty much only) way to order the Slick coat is to use a buying service/proxy such as the ones I mentioned in the PM I sent you. You won't need a translator/account or anything. They'll take care of all of it and only charge a 10% commission.

Ouch...

Yes I will gladly pay 10% commission fee if I score that Slick trench. Thanks for all the help England... you are good peoples.

No problem man. Let me know if you do end up pulling the trigger on the Slick coat. May just get one myself .........

I like this Patrick Ervell coat, he calls this coat the "American Trench" though I'm not sure it really counts as a trench given how short it is. Goldengloves posted a nice fit of it in the waywt. Though he had the light grey wool color, this pic is the navy.

Not quite a trench, but for people like me who aren't usually going to be wearing it over a full suit, perhaps more appropriate. Looks like it goes well with denim.

What do you guys think of the length and color?

[bubblegun]

that one is awesome. i would prefer a slightly longer version though.

how much is it?

color is great btw

+rep for you

[JFposc]

I think its 650.

A cheaper option I've recently seen (and tried on in the pic below) is uniqlo's trench.

I only have t-shirts/socks by uniqlo so I can't really attest to the quality of their trench's. But I'm guessing that, while not quite burberry, they make solid items. Didn't cop it tho, not sure what I think of the full-length trench look, at least on me with no suit on under it.

Uniqlo trench on me:

Well-timed thread, this. Picked up this Margiela trench in small, from Dover Street Market before Christmas. Haven't worn it yet -- undecided as to whether I'm a "trench person" and thinking of returning it. What do people think?

[m1sterko]

nice color and nice length in my opinion

does it have a belt?

again opinionated but i've alwasyh liked a belted trenchy

you shoudl keep it!

btw, how mcuh did you get it for?

[Originatek]

I like that Margiela trench. Barneys just got in a cropped APC trench that is pretty sharp. Although I usually prefer cropped items. a trench is something I like longer,but I'm thinking of buying the APC one,haha...Also the Dior trench has arrived for the season,pretty sharp, the flap is back comes down really low, don't know if its a classic design, Hedi's or KVA though.

[Morningstar]

Is the cropped APC trench any different from the one from last year? What colors did Barney's have?

[big at lc]

If Barney's just got in the Dior trench then it's a KVA design. I kopped a McQueen trench At BG's post-xmas sale, it's a green-ish-beige-ish color, and it's got reflective white piping on it. Love soo much... PJV, does it have a belt? I have to agree with m1 on that, something about the belted ones just looks nicer to me, but w/e, seems like a great one in the pic, and you can't really every go wrong with MMM

Just picked up this Robert Geller Trench. The fur is completely removable if it isn't your taste.

[PJV20097]

The Margiela trench is belted, yeah -- a trench without a belt doesn't wash with me either! Probably the best detail on it are the epaulettes, which are covered, so it's has subtler military styling to it than the usual, which is what drew me to it in the first place.

[Originatek]

So it is KVA? No wonder I didn't love it,haha.

I don't recall the APC trench from last year, but this one is the ever so popular sand khaki, I really wish we had it in black.

Nice Robert Geller piece!

I checked it out at Barney's yesterday and it is the same trench as last year style wise. They changed the fabrication (100% cotton instead of poly/cotton blend), buttons, and added a leather side tab. I prefer mine from last year which has a khaki gingham lining and is poly/cotton for better water resistance.

i wish this would fit me.

Very nice Trenches, xcoldrice. Who makes them? Details are sick.

By the way I just checked out the Ervell American trench in Navy, didn't love it. It was well contructed but fit very boxy, and the material was real thin. Also I think the grey color might just be better.
