The Despatch Riders Trench - Olive
A landmark in British rainwear, this trench is the result of over a century of refinement. Inspired by the WWII coats we made for Allied despatch riders, it’s cut from waterproof Ventile®, sealed with copper tape, and finished with a removable cashmere-wool liner woven in tribute to Private Jack White’s 1916 regimental blanket.
