Spot a Bad Trench

Follow me to cut through the hype 👀 Comment “links” to get my picks! The gun flap has nothing to do with the side you hold the gun. It’s not a gun cushion. Sources that claim it’s supposed to cushion the gun reference each other and nothing from WWI; the trench coat was developed for trench warfare. Historical references explain the function of the gun flap: to seal the coat from rain. To do that, the gun flap needs to be sewn on the button side. On women’s coats, that falls on the left shoulder. Men’s coats get the gun flap on the right. Aritzia’s Finch passes, Davis doesn’t, so check each style, not the brand. Sézane’s Scott and Quince are fitted; size up if you’re in between sizes. The extra fabric on the shoulders in the back is the storm shield or storm flap, and the wide piece of fabric that buttons across the neck is the throat latch. Throat latches are getting popular this fall since convertible funnel necks are trending. Save this before your next trench search, and subscribe to my newsletter for the details haul videos skip.
