The quality of materials: An essential criterion
The choice of materials is fundamental to guarantee the durability and warmth of a winter coat . Noble fabrics such as wool and alpaca are materials to favor . At Trench & Coat, we select fabrics made mainly of wool for our coats in order to guarantee a pleasant texture and optimal thermal insulation .
Please note : A composition with a high proportion of natural fibers , such as 70% wool or more, is often an indicator of quality . Light fabrics , such as white or pastel , also require special attention because they are more transparent and can reveal imperfections . A light and bright wool cloth is often a sign of a noble and pure material .
A 100% controlled manufacturing process
At Trench & Coat, we master every step of the manufacturing process. In fact , we are one of the last French Atelier Brands . What is an Atelier brand? It is simply a brand that has its own production workshops. And why is that cool? Because it represents 2 major advantages : production controlled in-house (all the trades are represented within the company: from style to pattern making, including prototyping, production and marketing) and a better quality-price ratio by reducing intermediaries .
Impeccable finishes
A quality coat can also be recognized by its finishes . The seams must be solid , the edges well defined , and there must be no threads sticking out . At Trench & Coat, we make it a point of honor to offer impeccable finishes .
Our commitments :
- Overcasting : All sleeve and coat bottoms are overcast to prevent the material from fraying .
- Heat-sealing : Certain parts of the coat, such as the collar or flaps, are heat-sealed to ensure a better hold and an impeccable finish .
- Reinforced Buttons : We use counter buttons inside to ensure a strong hold , and reinforce our seams with heat- sealed strips for added durability .
The lining: Comfort and durability
The lining is an often overlooked element , but it plays a crucial role in the comfort , warmth and durability of a coat .
- Comfort : It provides a smooth surface on the inside , preventing seams from rubbing against the skin or clothing .
- Warmth : It adds an extra layer of insulation , essential for winter coats .
- Durability : It protects the interior of the coat from wear and tear , thus extending its lifespan .
- Aesthetics : A well- crafted lining adds a touch of elegance and ensures that the coat looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside .
At Trench & Coat we ensure that all our linings are as stylish as they are functional , offering an impeccable interior finish .
The cut and the structure
A well-cut coat is essential to enhance the silhouette. It must fall perfectly on the shoulders , the sleeves must be well adjusted , and there must be no folds or bumps. At Trench & Coat, we pay particular attention to the cut of our coats in order to offer you a style that is both structured and feminine .
Our tip: Well- structured coats , with reinforced seams and worked shoulders , guarantee an impeccable cut that highlights all body types .
Weight : an indicator of quality
The weight of a coat is often a good indicator of the quality of the fabric used . The heavier the coat , the denser the fabric and , therefore , the warmer it will keep you throughout the winter .
All our coats, including those that are not lined , are reinforced with seam taping to prevent fraying and extend the life of the piece. These reinforcements provide additional strength , even in the most stressed areas such as the cuffs , shoulders or bottom of the coat .
By choosing a Trench & Coat winter coat , you are opting for an elegant, durable piece that is suitable for your daily life . Thanks to our know-how and our demands on the quality of materials and finishes , our coats will accompany you in style throughout the winter season .
