If you are wearing a suit then a trench coat is the perfect garment to protect it from the rain. There aren't really that many alternatives that don't look stupid.

Best documentary on the Trench Coat! No kidding - most informative, covering all aspects, protective and lethal 😏 So much new information was new to me. I appreciated the back story on inventors and chemistry, the impact on the military and the fashionable. Congratulations! ✨👏👏👏👏👏✨

I used to watch him constantly, until about a year ago he made a mockery of the Christian Faith (quite pointlessly) during one of his videos. I haven't watched him since.
Which show and video? And by “quite pointlessly” do you mean he failed to make any valid points, that he made no difference, or simply that he was ridiculing that which he deems ridiculous for the sake of laughs?
My bad, this is an old junk account. My point kind of is that I’d not have used this account with this logo to engage in serious conversation. However, I’m not above making jokes about Christian’s or atheists or even Bad Religion, whose album art I used as a pic, some members of whom are in fact various degrees of theistic, spiritual, etc.

In spanish the trench coat is also called gabardine (gabardina) while the fabric gabardine is also called gabardine (gabardina) which is very confusing and on par with spanish naming schemes
I had to understand the word "mac" from context when I first read it. Sorry to be nit picky but Americans (I think Devan is American) say lan-o-lin and not la-nol-in.
It is a real shame when people do that as Daven is actually the true founder of TIFO all the way back in 2010. He is an an amazing editor and if you have some time on your hand someday I would recommend their hour long special on how they research their videos.

I was issued a tan Marine Corps one in the early 90's and wore it surprisingly often while on active duty. My shoulders were getting way to big for it by the time I returned to the civilian world, so I ended up giving it to a friend. I also loved my green, boot camp issued wool sweater, at least I did until I made the mistake of putting it in the dryer a few years back. 😖
I don't remember the brand, but I still have the trench coat I bought back in my suit-wearing days. Zip-out lining and detachable wool collar over the khaki collar, for really cold weather.
Because a good fitting trench conceals your body from the weather at the same time it adds style to your appearance, and if you get one that has "tails" that go down the legs, you can strike a pose in the wind.
'Trench Coat' has become a generic term that mislabels any khaki colored raincoat as a trench coat. A true trench coat is double breasted and belted. I've seen people calling Chesterfield and Balmaccan coats 'trench coats' when they are very different styles. (both of those are single breasted, and a Balmaccan has no belt, no waistline, it's cut straight and sack-like). It's kind of like how "fedora" became generic for any brimmed hat even when it's a trilby or a homburg. Our vocabulary has gotten smaller and lost all of these names for specific garments.
@@thomaschristopher8593 And, as he mentioned, for keeping the rain from running down your sleeves when you use your binoculars. Useful not only for artillery spotting, but general gumshoeing about town, stalking, and birdwatching.
I was waiting to see if he’s say the Urdu work that khaki is based on. If I’m not mistaken it’s pronounced too closely to the alternate term for a rooster 🍆 I mean 🐓, for many people’s comfort.
It really needs to be mentioned that a) the brand changed name from Burberys to Burberry but more significantly and depressingly in the 90s actually changed the look and design of the coat from a proper full length coat to a longer Pea Coat ending far above the knee as well as making it closer fitting and less comfortable. While getting more expensive. If I'd want to have one in the unchanged wartime pattern, which my 1987 Burberrys still has, today I'd have to shell out significant amounts of money just to get an *approximation* of the original, so no, it's *far* from unchanged. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Obviously it depends on your height but the current "Long Kensington" variant is designed to sit below the knee as are others, there isn't a singular "Burberry Trench", it's a range or nearly 20 variants for men and over 50 for women, it's great to hear your 1987 one is still going strong through.
@@thetapeworm I know, it's possible to get one that is a reasonable approximation to the original and on the other hand (with my desire to get a reasonable close item to the "original" - meaning the iconic "light officer's coat for inclement weather" - being the "one hand" 😆 ) many of the modern consumers are pretty certain to not need this and want something more modern - It's nice that I could still wear the M1907 field uniform under it and I like the (actually useful) capability to actually wear e.g. a full blown autumn corduroy suit under the coat but I suppose that's not what a regular modern consumer desires🧐.

The U. S. Army field jackets didn't replace the trenchcoat. In fact, the trenchcoats are still being issued as part of the "Class A" uniforms. Also... your unique pronunciation of "Lanolin".... I normally wouldn't mention something like that, but it was so off, it confused and distracted me until I could figure out what you were talking about. It might distract and detract. "Ar-MISS-tus"... Others... Were the mispronounced words part of a comic bit "A-A-Ron"? 😁
Also the complete lack of acknowledgement of the Latin origin, and therefore pronunciation, of "Aquascutum", which is much more likely to be pronounced "ah-kwuh-skoo-tm". As well as "Abyssinia", pronounced 'Ah-bih-sin-ee-ah', not 'Ab-see-nya'. At least we can see him speaking in the video, so it's not just someone dumping a transcript into an AI-driven text-to-speech system and ignoring its abysmal pronunciation. On the other hand, the subtitles _are_ auto-generated, so they have some howlers.
I got a really nice wool trench coat a decade ago, surplus out of either Romania or Bulgaria, both made trench coats but one higher quality, and I was lucky to get it. Came with gunmetal colored buttons, which I replaced with Surplus gold American buttons, creating such a sharp looking coat, I turn heads in it everywhere. Its my Urban dress coat. For forest I have an issue Army field jacket. The go-to survival coat of American Vets. Also I hope to make a serious quality wool blanket cloak eventually to use in extreme conditions. I did a cloak ring and pin for it recently of brass and stainless that turned out nice.
got mine (Burberry) used from a seller on Portabello Road... not even 1% of the full price of a new one , don't get to wear it much - we're pretty much a dry climate where I live but its a nice change from noisy synthetic rain coats
The US army was still willing to issue a trench coat during Vietnam. I (mistakenly) thought I was cool in high school when I wore my dad's for a rain coat. It was like new condition because he spent the war at White Sands and said he rarely wore it.
I'm not saying we can read your thoughts and are watching you and all humans as we prepare for Grabthar's coming invasion. But I'm also not not saying that. 😋 -Daven
Only rich officers can wear these. Wait, why are they picking off all the rich officers? I used to wear a uniform trench coat a long time ago. With that inner lining, it was like walking in this safe cocoon. The M-65 field jacket is a nice modern replacement for casual wear.
The trench coat continued to be standard issue in the US Army at least through the Korean War - I've had several instances of surplus ones through the years, as they've been easy to find cheaply.
Davin I like you being the good info guy. The rants and snarky sarcasm are Simon … insert an Am I right Peter?! ❤🙂 however the latter half call outs are awesome. The matter of fact tone is perfect especially the bit about the burbary 6k coats and the people who buy them😘
The US Marine Corps still issues trench coats, or did back in the '90s, to all enlisted Marines in boot camp. The call it the all weather coat and is technically authorized for wear with all uniforms from cammies to dress blues, but is mainly worm with Service Dress and higher uniforms. I still have mine from when I was in but I very, very seldomly wear it I keep it for when I need it fror when I'm wearing a suit and weather is particularly cold or nasty, but since I live in SoCal and I've only worn it once or twice an never during my time in the Corps.
@owen1079 I wasn't the only recruit at naval bootcamp being discharged back then, I believe there was over 200 - 400 recruits of both genders were waiting to be discharged because they had properly do paperwork and book airplane tickets to take each recruit back home. There are several reasons why a recruit was being discharged, either they got to sick to recover and finish the basic training on time like me, or they couldn't wear issued gear like boots digging against your heels or ankle, or discharged for disobeying orders, or having boyfriend/girlfriend relationships during bootcamp, or medical issues like being injected by a dirty needle, or having drug tests finding out you have drugs in your system, like Marijuana since federally it's still counted as illegal.
My black leather trench coat rarely gets worn, I live in California. I still have my Army trench coat 25 years later. I also have one made from black denim.
Simon butchers a lot of pronunciation. I didn’t realize that it was apparently a competition and that there would be a serious contender for most mispronounced words in a single video.
How come you dont list sources? I watched your hour long special on the production of your videos and know the lengths you go to to check information so how come we dont get a source list?
"Everyone in the world should have a trench coat, and there should be a trench coat for everyone in the world. It does not matter your age; it doesn't matter your gender." -- Angela Ahrendts
Noticing the original design of the trench coat...it becomes clear that it gets the design and cut from the cloak. Of course, after sleaves had been added to cloaks. But essentially the MacIntosh borrows from the types of cloaks that friars used to wear in the Catholic Church.
