![When Can I Wear a Trench Coat?]()
The trench coat is an iconic wardrobe staple that you will find yourself wearing for years to come. It’s actually the most stylish form of a raincoat, traditionally made of durable and water-resistant gabardine cotton. It became a popular piece for soldiers to wear during the Boer and World Wars for its functional design. Besides the rain and mud friendly fabric, trench coats offer extra protection around the neck with their wide lapels and hook and eye latch, across the chest with their double breasted silhouette, and storm flap pockets to safely stow belongings. On top of all these practical benefits, trench coats have a comfortable and elegant design that make them one of the most versatile coats of all time. Find out why yours can easily become your go-to jacket for many occasions.

What is a Double-Breasted Trench Coat?
A double-breasted cut is the most classic cut of trench coats. It consists of two button strips that run parallel to each other. Due to the wide area of the button placket, the double-breasted trench coat has two layers of fabric on top of each other. This ensures that this type of coat keeps you warmer.
How to Wear a Double-Breasted Trench Coat open?
In warmer weather, you can easily wear a trench coat open - even a double-breasted one. It has double fabric in the front, but if your trench coat fits perfectly, it will drape beautifully. At Hockerty, we offer the perfect fit guarantee to ensure you have a flattering trench coat.
How to Button Double-Breasted Trench Coats?
Once you have a double-breasted trench coat, buttoning it up comes naturally. The button on the inside is buttoned to provide structure and keep the button rows aligned. Only one of the two button plackets is active, meaning only one row is buttoned up. The other is decorative. And remember: the last button always stays unbuttoned.
