The trench coat never goes out of style. For over a century, this garment has moved through the decades without ever losing its relevance. Originally designed for British officers in the trenches of the First World War, it had to protect against wind and rain while remaining light enough to wear in motion. A demanding brief, and one that explains why the trench coat has remained a benchmark of menswear.
The M67 model by Coulange 1918 honours that tradition without compromise. Handmade, this men's coat is cut from water-repellent cotton — a fabric that sheds rain without stifling the cloth. Water runs off, the garment breathes. The lining, in natural cupro, adds a quiet fluidity: it glides over other layers without catching, making the trench easy to slip on and wear in any weather.
The khaki green shade is no accident. It is the original colour of the military trench coat, one that blends into the landscape and has moved through the twentieth century without ever looking dated. On the M67, this deep khaki pulls toward olive — a subtlety hard to capture on camera, but one that, when worn, works with almost everything: raw denim, grey flannel trousers, beige chinos. It softens the silhouette without erasing it.
The details are those of the classic trench coat: shoulder epaulettes that add structure, wrist straps, a storm collar that turns up against the wind, a belt to define the waist. Every element serves a purpose — nothing is there for decoration.
What sets this piece apart day to day is its adaptability. Worn open over a light sweater in mid-season, it handles transitional days with natural ease. Buttoned and belted when the cold bites, it protects without feeling like expedition gear. The water-repellent cotton does its job quietly: an unexpected shower compromises neither comfort nor appearance. In winter, the generous cut allows a thick sweater underneath without sacrificing the line.
Like every garment that leaves the workshop, this trench coat is made in France, following the tailoring methods that have defined Coulange 1918 since its founding. No visible logos, no passing fads: a considered cut, materials chosen one by one, craftsmanship controlled from first stitch to last. It is an approach to clothing that stands against disposable fashion, rooted in a French tradition of textile rigour.
The khaki green trench coat M67 is not an impulse purchase. It is a coat chosen in the knowledge that it will endure — true to its military heritage, true to the person who wears it.
