The Perfect Trenchcoat

[Pandemonium]

this seems like a joke but, im going to strongly disagree with the above statement. this would mean that burberry, viktor & rolf, etc. and every other trench coat with a belt fits poorly.

imo trench coats without belts look too much like lighter versions of peacoats and seem to lack form to an extent (appear a bit like long boxes).

maybe i phrase wrong.

the ones that you don't need to wear a belt for.

I tried on a prosum trench a couple of years ago, it was the navy one with guld buttons, it fit huuge, even though i sized down it looked like a tent. Had to check the tags to see if i had taken it from the burberry london rack at the store, but no it was prorsum. So maybe they make different cuts aswell

i picked up a bill tornade trench in paris last may. Great construction and details. good modern fit. reasonably priced, i think around 150E on sale...

(by the way...this blog isnt too bad if you happen to speak french)

in any case... this brand is really reasonable and they make some great stuff. too bad its not really available in the states

otherwise, if you're a solid 38/39 like myself, try the new banana republic one.

for $200, the S fit me pretty well. and i see it for like $100 on ebay every once in a while.

It's not that good. Material is pretty flimsy, construction doesn't seem solid. Won't keep you that warm. The Monogram one is better, though I don't think it warrants its $450 or something retail tag.

topman got nice trenchcoats.

For example:

the second guy from the left, chubby, leaning against the door...

anyone have an idea of what kind/who makes that trench coat?

[lucky_cloud]

what is this pic? are these guys in a band or is this a fashion shoot? i'm assuming the former. either way, they've all got pretty nice coats.

[who8mahrice]

I think some of you guys were looking for non-belted trenches? I have no experience with these but I saw these in a catalog today and thought I'd share:

i like the guy on the right's, but i would want it midthigh and khaki, the APC one is pretty similar to that, so i might cop that depending on how it fits

EDIT: I tried that jcrew one on, it fits pretty shitty, if youre big it might fit you but at 5'9" and 150 lbs the small was on the huge side on me

anyone got a fit pic of the topman trench?

[Kesnel]

That guy on the far right is wearing the exact kind of trench I've been looking for with limited success for a while now; long, grey, no belt, double breasted, big collar. If anyone knows where I can get it, or a very similar one, I'll be so grateful.

Aquascutum makes a similar jacket called Oldenburgh, only seen it in navy though.

Tim hamilton had a cool reversible one (not necessarily classic) this past spring that was interesting and seemed to fiit pretty well. I was thinking about it come the gilt sale.

[ProfMonnitoff]

whats the first one?

still desperately looking for a black prorsum in size 48. i think they only did black and grey for the standard trench this season.

SS07 Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane.

I own the shorter black version, it's the ultimate trench for me in terms of design, cut and fabric, not to mention its rarity ( had to track it down in Japan ):

bought from Seven, what I'm wearing this winter.
