I really do love the coat. Even if it comes out only a few times a. year, it is worth it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> yes, it is leather. At one time it had a zip out insulating liner. The liner is no more, alas. But it can work with a packable puffer underneath.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, the company is "The Hurtigs of Vaughan Street."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409117 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 23:32:43 +0000 Jaime 2409117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!

Iknow what yo mean about wearing something for only three days a year - but that's the fun of a big coat closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409084 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 15:28:08 +0000 Bonnie 2409084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you finally got to wear this great trench.

Wild times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409065 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 12:43:36 +0000 Janet 2409065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that trench! I’m a sucker for this kind of 70s style, and the color speaks to me far more than any khaki-beige. So great with your red too! </p> <p>I had a vintage leather trench many years ago — it was patchwork so even more 70s coded, LOL. I wore it for several years and then passed it along to my niece. I’ll have to ask her what she did with it — I’m pretty sure she donated it eventually. Would be interesting to track where it’s been! Occasionally I will see a similar one out in a vintage shop. Kinda like the one in this photo. Yours is much more sophisticated and versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409064 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 12:11:51 +0000 kkards 2409064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trouser style jeans-fab. &nbsp;<div>And the jacket lovely. &nbsp;</div><div>The combo -perfect&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409058 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 09:46:55 +0000 Brooklyn 2409058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Suz. 70s style suits you. Is the trench leather? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409055 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 05:33:34 +0000 Star (Lise) 2409055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fab in your trench Suz! I like the way you positioned your scarf. I have navy and red cotton trenches this length. The weather here is not co-operating!. Your trench is gorgeous, and I love red and blue together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409050 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 03:40:49 +0000 Suz 2409050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. I love slate blue -- it's the best. This coat was quite the find. <b>LJP,</b> did you know it was made in Winnipeg? I did a little search on it. The maker was huge back in the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>I found this coat on Bowen Island where it had been used in movie costuming and then was being sold off. It's a perfect fit, and such a fun piece. But there really only are about 10 days a year that it feels suitable to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I have never forgotten your dark red and blue post, and I have just interpreted it to mean ALL reds and blue! Fire engine included. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409043 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 02:47:46 +0000 LJP 2409043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous is right . This slate blue is quite awesome on you ! I too am intrigued by red/ blue for this spring but haven’t figured out my approach yet . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409040 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 02:34:38 +0000 Debbie 2409040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the 70’s trench and that red is your color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409035 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 01:22:26 +0000 Indigoprint 2409035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just lovely! A perfect documentation of of a "trend" that has lasting power and therefore a classic...just a new appreciation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409034 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 01:22:04 +0000 Angie 2409034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER FABULOUS!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hereby crown you Queen Fire Engine Red :)&nbsp;</p> <p>That '70s coat is brilliant on you! Glad it came out to play!!! The slate blue is perfect with red! And the cream boots pack a punch. Pretty light wash jeans too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Spring weather can be the best...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409032 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:56:17 +0000 Kyle 2409032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a huge fan of 70s style, so this makes me swoon. I’m glad the weather is supporting your fashion preferences, Suz! Your red and blue combo is crisp and lovely, too, just like your sunny skies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shortish-trench-coat#post-2409031 Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:50:27 +0000 Suz 2409031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't own one of the new tan, stone, or khaki short trenches. But I do own a version of a shorter trench, 70s style! (Literally -- it is vintage).&nbsp;</p> <p>The weather hardly ever cooperates for this coat. It has to be crisp, but not too cold. And sunny. Today it was just that!&nbsp;</p> <p>Underneath I was in red and blue, a favourite combination. </p>
