Grey leather has its own vibe. Not like black, which can be such an easy go to. Not brown, which is the warmer tone of a staple black. No, grey sits perfectly somewhere in the elevated city chic and slightly slightly moody colouring space. This double-breasted leather trench, cut to the knee in a cool steel grey, has the broad pointed collar and relaxed A-line ease that place it firmly in the 70s, when leather outerwear was at the height of its relevance and tailors were cutting it like cloth.

The construction is careful throughout. Topstitching runs the full length of the front panels, down the back seams and along the back yoke. The self-tie leather belt draws the waist at the back. Two large dome-style buttons fasten the double-breasted front, with two more below the waist, and each long sleeve finishes at a buttoned cuff with three small buttons. Front pockets sit at the hip. The centre back has a deep vent for ease of movement. Inside, the lining carries the in gold script: Anne Armstrong. This is truly a coat that has been kept, loved and treasured well.
