They are certainly more functional if longer.

Yea, I'm also a fan of slimmer fitting jackets. I'm in the process of deciding if I should just Ebay it or keep it. I will most likely just take it to a tailor and ask him if he can slim it down for me, because I do like it.

A true trench is supposed to be worn over another jacket.


Mine is a bit below the knee and the fact that I have a decent walk from where I park to my office I like that extra length when it's windy and cold.

I saw a lot of different variations at least in their scarves, but if it was a fake that would be kind of funny

Yeah, especially because I have a feeling the only reason you bought it was because you thought it was a Burberry jacket.

The variations in their scarves is generally exploded/classic/nova check. Your jacket lining is none of those...and it even looks incredibly cheap.

Not really, I like the look and the feel as well. But if it is a fake than it's just a trench coat that looks like Burberry that I got for $10

a true trench coat has a straight sided body. the only shape is when the belt is pulled in at the waist. the gathering that occurs under the belt are a part of the style.

I saw two trench coats like that over the w/e. Nice zip in warmers like the Burberry but no tags. Only tag said Made in Poland.
