The gabardina was born in the ranks of the Primera Guerra Mundial. Originally designed to protect British officials from rain and wind, due to their number trenches — aquellas zanjas embarradas donde los hombres pasaban semanas enteras. Thomas Burberry registered the prototype in 1901, but it was due to the conflict of 1914-18 that the conversion became universal. More than a single model, the gabardina has one of the most elegant pieces of the masculine vesture, one that has worn in times without fashion.
The khaki green gabardina M67 de Coulange 1918 is inscribed in this line with precision. Manufactured by hand in new taller French, combined 100% hydrophobic fabric ass a forro completo de cupro, a suave, breathable and sedoso tejido that comes out sober without taking it without engancharse. The cupro, obtained from recycled cotton fibers, offers the comfort of the seat with the easy handling of the cotton — a choice of material that reveals a special attention to the comfort of those who wear it.
Its green tone, directly inspired by historical uniforms, gives it a natural sobriety. Combine with all, without effort. Vaqueros crudos y botas para el día a día. Gray franela pants for more formal occasions. A jersey of dark colors when the temperatures are low. Waterproof thanks to its water-repellent fabric, this gabardina is the ideal companion for the most pleasant periods of rain and maintenance. Abierta on a poplin shirt, where closed against the coming with the rising ear.
What distinguishes this pieza is its balance. Neither too long nor too long. Neither overly militaristic nor overly civil. Here is the exact point that one has already taken to be a uniform to convert into a personal firm. The corte is recto, the hombros nítidos, la caída fluida. It's already there in its making — every cost, every button, every bag is the result of a dominant gesture.
Take a Coulange gabardina and choose a piece with a story that tells. La historia de un saber hacer transmitted de 1918, de una attention al detalle que seente des de el first gesture, al pasarla sobre los hombros. No need to print — it's just there, and that's it. A piece that has been preserved for years, which has patina over time, and which has been passed on for a day.
