During a research and study of Trench Coats by means of understanding war and peace, it has led to my creation of collections illustrating the evolution from WW1 to now. The idea of repurposing authentic Vintage Vietnam War Tents, seem appropriate to emphasize governments excessive waste by focusing on the sustainability aspects.
The trench coat was developed as an alternative to the heavy serge greatcoats worn by British and French soldiers in the First World War. Invention of the trench coat is claimed by two British luxury clothing manufacturers, Burberry and Aquascutum, with Aquascutum's claim dating back to the 1850s.
There are two stories of how the now-famous coat came to be: first, that Thomas Burberry himself patented what is considered the precursor to the trench coat, the Tielocken, in 1912 after developing its fabric—the tough, water-resistant twill he called gabardine—in 1879
