19 Mar Trench Time

French ladies, spies, fighters, criminals and even flashers may ring a bell when you think about that ever-flexible article of clothing, the trench coat. Regardless of its more profane meanings, the style is established in British privileged, having been initially created as a wearing coat for the high class. It took off to more extensive prominence amid World War I, when British officers embraced the weatherproofed, twofold breasted, oft-belted style (normally in khaki) for use on the bleeding edges.
