WHEN THE TRENCH IS YELLOW… as here by Arthur Arbesser, then the sunshine isn't far behind. At one time, the qualities that made it important were its weather withstanding properties and a cut that wasn’t restrictive. Thomas Burberry presented the coat in 1870 sewn with a gabardine for military use: In WWI it was worn by British and French soldiers. It was uncomplicated, had tabs for adjusting, loops for binoculars and knapsack straps to attach to. The name – trenchcoat – stems from the English word "trench."

No wonder that it is the trend piece of 2020! New this season, is a fresh trench style just for ladies– that works also for short styles: as a cool jacket!
