Trench coat
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A trench coat (or trenchcoat) is a type of outdoor clothing. Trenchcoats are long coats made from stiff material, like heavy-duty cotton. They were invented for soldiers to wear in The First World War, to keep them warm. Most trench coats also protect the wearer against rain.
[edit] As a fashion
In the 1950s, trench coats became a popular fashion item. In the 1980s and 1990s, trench coats were worn by punk rock musicians and gothic rock musicians.
