The trench coat goes through the ages without ever losing its relevance. At Coulange, this iconic jacket finds an expression faithful to its origins with the M67 model, available in a deep khaki green which fully embraces its military heritage.
The history of the trench dates back to the trenches of the First World War. British officers needed a coat that could withstand mud and rain while maintaining a clean silhouette under the uniform. More than a century later, this dual requirement — to protect without adding weight, to structure without stiffening — remains at the heart of every well-designed trench coat. The M67 is part of this lineage without nostalgia: it does not reconstruct the past, it retains its essentials.
This trench is cut from water-repellent cotton. Rain glides over the fabric without penetrating it, while the natural fiber continues to breathe — a balance that synthetic materials struggle to achieve. Inside, the cupro lining, a material obtained from cotton fiber, provides fluidity to wear and discreet comfort against the skin. We forget that we are wearing it. We simply notice that we are comfortable in it, whatever the weather.
The khaki green color draws directly from military color charts. It's a shade that has this rare quality of going with almost everything, without ever falling into bland neutrality. On raw jeans, it asserts its presence. On gray flannel pants, it fades with natural elegance. The M67 trench does not seek to dominate an outfit: it completes it, simply and precisely.
The cut is straight, designed for movement rather than pose. The shoulder pads and belting recall the classic codes of the trench without falling into disguise. The finishes are clean, the stitching precise, the button placket discreet. It's not a period costume that you bring out for a theme party — it's a jacket designed for today, with the right amount of structure to hold out in the wind and the right amount of flexibility to live in it every day.
Made in France, in our workshop, this piece embodies an approach to tailoring that refuses haste. No chain, no imposed cadence. Each seam exists because it has a function – waterproofing, solidity, drape – and each detail has been designed to go through the seasons without weakening.
In mid-season, when the weather hesitates between clearing and showers, this trench finds its full reason for being. The waterproofness of the water-repellent cotton does its job without transforming the jacket into a rigid raincoat. We stay dry, we keep our pace, we continue our day without thinking about it.
The M67 khaki green trench coat from Coulange is available from XS to XL. A sober and precise piece, designed for those who prefer a garment that accompanies them over the long term rather than a garment that seeks to stand out.
