TRENCH COATS for Men
The Materials in the Cuir Trench Coat Range
Cowhide leather is the denser and more structured of the two. Cowhide trench coats hold their shape through daily wear and provide stronger passive rain resistance than lambskin.
They are heavier, which reads as presence, and more resistant to surface abrasion. The lamb leather trench coat is a softer choice; the cowhide trench coat is the more structured, heritage-faithful one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Order
A leather trench coat is a full or mid-length overcoat built on the classic double breasted trench silhouette, belted waist, storm flap, and notched collar, constructed from genuine leather rather than the traditional cotton gabardine.
Leather trench coats maintain the weather-resistant properties of the original military design through the natural water resistance of the hide, while adding the durability and aging characteristics of real leather.
Yes. Genuine leather has natural water resistance from the dense surface of the hide, which repels light to moderate rain without any coating or membrane treatment.
For enhanced protection, apply a leather waterproofing wax twice a year. Leather trench coats handle urban everyday weather better than most DWR-treated cotton gabardine coats after regular washing, and the water resistance improves with conditioning rather than degrading.
A quality genuine leather trench coat lasts a decade or more with proper care.
The hide develops a patina over time rather than cracking or peeling. Annual conditioning maintains suppleness and water resistance.
A leather trench coat at year ten is typically in better aesthetic condition than a synthetic alternative at year three.

How to Size a Men's Leather Trench Coat
Leather trench coats fit differently from fabric alternatives. The hide adds some structure to the shoulder and chest that disappears in cotton or wool , a leather trench coat at your usual size will feel slightly more fitted than a gabardine equivalent. This is correct.
Shoulders:
The shoulder seam should sit at the natural shoulder point, not dropping down the upper arm. This is the most important fit point, as shoulder seams cannot be easily altered in leather.
Chest:
Should be close enough to avoid the coat hanging open at the front, but with enough room to layer a medium-weight knit underneath comfortably.
Length:
Mid-length trench coats should sit at or just above the knee for most heights. Full-length styles should sit between mid-calf and ankle. If in doubt, size up — a longer hem is generally more flattering than a short one on a trench coat.
Break-in:
Genuine leather, particularly cowhide, will soften and conform to the wearer's posture and movement over the first weeks of regular wear. A precise fit at purchase often becomes the ideal fit after a month.

Frequently Asked Questions
A leather trench coat is a full or mid-length overcoat built on the classic double breasted trench silhouette , belted waist, storm flap, and notched or peaked collar , constructed from genuine leather rather than the cotton gabardine of the traditional design.
Leather trench coats maintain the weather-resistant properties of the original military design through the natural water resistance of the hide, while adding the durability and aging characteristics of real leather. The silhouette originates from the waterproof coats issued to Allied officers in World War I, developed from Thomas Burberry's cotton gabardine design of the 1880s.
Yes. Genuine leather has natural water resistance from the dense surface of the hide, which repels light to moderate rain without any coating or membrane treatment.
Full-grain and top grain cowhide perform best, the outer surface sheds light rain in the same way the hide protects the animal in wet conditions. For enhanced protection, apply a leather waterproofing wax twice a year.
This is not the same as fully waterproof: leather is not designed for sustained heavy rain, but it handles urban everyday weather , commutes, caught in showers, walking between buildings , better than most DWR-treated cotton gabardine trench coats after regular washing.
Lambskin is lighter, softer, and more supple , it drapes naturally and moves with the wearer rather than holding a structured shape.
Lambskin trench coats are the more refined choice for smart-casual and urban wear. Cowhide is denser, heavier, and more structured , it holds its shape through heavy wear, provides stronger passive rain resistance, and is more abrasion-resistant.
Cowhide trench coats read as more heritage-faithful and carry more visual presence. Both are genuine leather; the choice is between drape and structure.
A double-breasted trench coat has two parallel rows of buttons with an overlapping front, the original construction of the WWI military trench coat.
The double overlap provides better wind and rain resistance at the chest than a single-breasted alternative and reads as more formal.
Single breasted trench coats have a single row of buttons or a hidden placket, a cleaner, more contemporary profile that works better in casual and smart-casual contexts. Neither is objectively better , the choice is aesthetic and occasion-driven.
A quality genuine leather trench coat lasts a decade or more with proper care. The hide does not crack or peel the way synthetic materials do , it develops a patina at high-contact areas (collar, cuffs, belt) that looks more personal over time rather than more degraded.
Annual conditioning with a leather wax or conditioner maintains the hide's suppleness and water resistance. Professional leather cleaning for significant staining; avoid machine washing. A leather trench coat at year ten is typically in better aesthetic condition than a cotton or synthetic trench coat at year three.
Gabardine is a tightly woven twill fabric , originally cotton, developed by Thomas Burberry in the 1880s , whose diagonal weave provides natural water resistance through fabric density. A cotton gabardine trench coat is lighter, more breathable, and easier to care for than leather. It handles light rain well but saturates in sustained downpours without DWR treatment, and the DWR coating degrades with washing over time.
A leather trench coat is heavier, more durable, and has natural water resistance that can be maintained and improved rather than degraded. Gabardine is the classic trench coat fabric; leather is the premium, longer-lasting alternative.
The shoulder seam should sit at the natural shoulder point , this is the critical fit point, as shoulder seams cannot easily be altered in leather. The chest should be close-fitting but with room to layer a medium-weight knit comfortably.
The hem should sit at or just above the knee for mid-length styles, mid-calf to ankle for full length. The belt should be able to close comfortably at the natural waist without pulling the coat tight. Order your usual size; leather will soften slightly with wear so a precise fit at purchase becomes the ideal fit after a month.
Men's leather trench coats are available in sizes XS through 4XL. Full size charts with chest, shoulder, sleeve, and length measurements are on every product page.
