I can’t count the number of times I’ve received compliments on my trench coat. Perhaps it’s because, it is not a trench in the traditional sense of the word, but more of a utilitarian duster. It billows in the wind, has handy zipper pockets and is a seasonless graphite.

Over the last couple of weeks, it has been a firm friend. Lightweight, slightly polished and something I can roll up and shove into my bag should the weather warm up, it is the perfect trans-seasonal piece. Sadly mine has sold out, so as I scoured the net for potential updates, I thought it only fair that I share.
