Because sometimes you feel more sophisticated than what your closet has provided. Our trench is actually 3 jackets in one: 1) the Shell, a lightly insulated and over-sized “weather” coat, when worn alone, 2) the Vest, a burly quilted utility piece w/ snap and zip closure option, 3) Combined, a supercharged winter coat that’s water-resistant and has many of the military hallmarks found in US officer’s coats of 50+ years ago, including split raglan shoulders and secure flap pocket closures.
