It's a single-breasted one with a similar collar and&nbsp;that's the same color as the one Daria just posted, but a longer length. I purchased it with absolute certainty that I'd love it and get a lot of wear out of it. I had an identical one years ago that I wore for about 10 years. It never wore out. I just got tired of it and got rid of it when my DH and I moved to a warm climate where it wouldn't be needed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448886 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:17:55 +0000 Daria 1448886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tania - I'm on the market for trench coat as well and one of my favorites (look wise) is London Fog (similar to the one on the photo). I haven't bought anything yet though so cannot comment on the quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448873 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:53:00 +0000 Gigi 1448873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could watch BR. They often have trenches, although the quality and design vary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448855 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:25:35 +0000 Tania 1448855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, thanks for the explanation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448853 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:23:51 +0000 old chic 1448853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suggest the man's version both because they don't seem to make as many style tweaks to them through the years and because, the last time I looked, they were going for less $ on Ebay. And I enjoy feeling like my trench protects and<i> envelopes </i>me, as well as looking mysteriously glamorous. But I'm 5'8". Might not work if you are very petite or are going for a sharply tailored look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448849 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:16:03 +0000 Tania 1448849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions.&nbsp; </p> <p>Why the man's version?&nbsp; </p> <p>I found a vintage Burberry a couple of months ago, with a zip out liner, but it was too big on me.&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; I also had a military trench, but it was also too big.&nbsp; I'm keeping my eyes open.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I can figure out what I want, I can definitely search online.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448848 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:13:03 +0000 old chic 1448848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As the owner of a 30-year-old Burberry I still love, I recommend them so highly that I think you might want to check out Ebay for a man's version of the classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448843 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:01:43 +0000 approprio 1448843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the sort of thing I shop menswear for. The materials and finish are usually better, and you're more likely to find a weatherproof performer. (This upsets me no end - as if women don't want to stay dry too!) No particular thoughts on brand, although I have a lovely men's&nbsp;macintosh from Ralph Lauren and Mr Edge has a nice trench from COS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-recommendations#post-1448839 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 21:54:29 +0000 Tania 1448839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am aware of Burberry, but I'm don't think I'm ready to take the plunge!&nbsp; Do you have recommendations for a good quality, nice looking trench? </p>
