Trench Coat

Our trench coats might just be the most elegant jackets available through our online store. While most of our jackets have a sporty or adventurous appearance, trench coats simply look elegant. These longer coats have a slimming effect and our women’s trench coats can even be waisted, allowing you to accentuate your figure. We also offer stylish trench coats for men of all ages.

How Long is a Trench Coat?

Trench coats tend to be a bit longer than most of our jackets. The exact length of a trench coat depends on whether you order a women’s jacket or a men’s jacket . Our women’s trench coats are among our longest jackets, although we do offer parkas that are of similar length. A women’s trench coat is a knee-length coat . Due to its elegant design, such a long coat will make you look very stylish. Our men’s trench coats are relatively long as well, but they fall just below the hips. Their designs are equally stylish though.

A trench coat is a bit more slimming than most types of coats. If you wear a women’s trench coat, you can further enhance this effect by tightening its waistband. Since nearly all Airforce trench coats are summer jackets , you can also choose not to button your coat and not to tie the waistband for a more casual look. For our male customers, we offer trench coats with fake inside jackets, allowing you to wear them during the winter months. Due to its length, a trench coat makes for an excellent between-seasons jacket.

How Trench Coats Became Fashion Items

These days, we tend to see trench coats as fashion items that allow you to make a fancy impression. Originally, however, trench coats were seen as functional jackets. Long before the fashion industry discovered trench coats, they were used in the army, just like the parka and the bomber jacket . The name of the trench coat even refers to World War I. At the time, soldiers in the trenches used to make good use of the practical pockets in a trench coat. In addition, trench coats weighed less than traditional overcoats, which were made out of wool. This gave soldiers a better range of motion.

After the war, it did not take long before people started wearing trench coats in daily life. Since then, trench coats gradually became beloved fashion items. Many people used to wear the belt in a knot instead of buckling it for a less formal appearance, and fashion designers experimented with trench coats in various lengths. The stylish reputation of trench coats is partly caused by the fact that various detectives in popular American films and television series wore them. Remarkably, trench coats have never been out of fashion. That is why they suit Airforce’s philosophy so well.

What Fabrics Are Used to Make Airforce Trench Coats?

At Airforce , we think it is important that you will be able to wear our coats and jackets for as long as possible. Designs that always look stylish and trendy are an important part of that. Trench coats certainly offer such a design: these jackets have been worn proudly for more than a hundred years. But the fabrics used to make the jackets are at least as important. Our trench coats need to be made out of high-quality fabrics, so they will retain their elegant looks for a long time. Trench coats were originally made out of gabardine, which is reminiscent of a waterproof denim. However, Airforce trench coats are usually made out of polyester.

One advantage of polyester over gabardine is that it is much more flexible, making a polyester trench coat the more comfortable option. Many of our trench coats sport an outer shell made out of a combination of polyester and spandex. This will make your jacket slightly stretchy and, as a result, even more comfortable. Polyester also has breathable qualities, which means you won’t quickly get too hot while wearing an Airforce trench coat. Also, our trench coats are windproof and water-repellent, just like all our other jackets and coats.

Combining Trench Coats with Other Garments

The very first trench coats were khaki-coloured. At our online store, you will find various trench coats with colours reminiscent of the original designs, such as Cement, Brindle and Sand Shell. However, when the fashion industry considers a jacket beautiful enough to produce them on a large scale, it is a certainty that it will be available in various colours. That is why Airforce offers trench coats in various fashionable, yet neutral colours. Dark colours, such as True Black and Dark Navy Blue, match nearly every other garment. Our summer collections sometimes contain trench coats in brighter colours.

Another thing we find important at Airforce is that our jackets can be worn with other items of clothing. This is a factor in the design, the colour choice and the fit of every trench coat. You can comfortably wear an Airforce trench coat over any T-shirt, sweater or hoodie from our online store. Wear a pair of shorts or trousers of which the colour matches your coat with it to complete your outfit for the upcoming season.
