Trench Coats – Durable,Weather-Proof,Lightweight
#ThrowbackThursdays
Trench coats can be traced back to World War-I, where they got their name after the very trenches they were worn in. Thomas Burberry, the designer of trench coats for the British military, later came out with his own special water-repellent fabric called gabardine. This new fabric was durable, lightweight, weather-proof and could easily be worn over day-to-day wear. Due to gabardine’s many benefits, the trench coat was easily able to make a transition from a military wear into mainstream fashion.
