Trench Coats

[Dormouse]

I am curious as to what the members of this forum wear during those stormy days.

I have been wearing a rather plain Mac and would like something a little more elegant.

I am well aware of Aquascutum and Burberry. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a slim-fitting trench coat?

I find this one appealing

I believe that esteemed SF member Label King sports something similar, if not the same coat.

Yes, I first saw it on LabelKing. It is a Comme Des Garcons. Unfortunately, nowhere to be found.

Prorsum does make some nice coats. But the one I want is prohibitively expensive. I forgot about Dries Van Noten.

Dormouse... do I know you from another community?

I have a brilliant cotton twill half trench by Aquascutum. I really do think the Burberry and Aquascutum ones are some of the best but only if you actually get the good stuff. Saw this in London the other day but in olive, was fairly stunning and it had a belt too: http://www.luisaviaroma.com/ecnew/Co...CodArticolo=28 and a Ralph Lauren one, not really as nice though: http://www.oipolloi.com/store/Ralph-...ite/1161.html# T

Thanks, those look interesting, especially the Dior Homme but are not exactly suited to my style.

Is polyester decidedly inferior to gabardine?
