The Iconic Trenchcoat - still going strong!


FROM the days of the Boer War, through two World Wars and onto the silver screen of Romance, Crime and Film Noir, the classic Trenchcoat has seen a blend of fashion and function which has served the interests of both Gentlemen and Ladies over many generations.

Both my original 1940's trench and more modern Burberry waterproof are two of my favourite garments when battling the elements, whether it be rain storms or Christmas shoppers!

Here's a little video I made earlier out of cardboard and sticky tape for your amusement and enjoyment..I hope! If nothing else, the soundtrack's great...

  1. Just discovered this video gem by accident, hiding on your 2009 pages. Terrific... You've got that Golden Era iconic look down cold Paddy! Thanks for creating this for us all to enjoy on your blog.
