This Coat Commands History and Authority

Experience a piece that transcends mere outerwear. Crafted in the 1940s by the esteemed Striwa, this trench coat is a bold fusion of wartime luxury and functional excellence—a statement of authority, craftsmanship, and survival.


Distinguished Craftsmanship & Design

  • Premium Material: Made from heavy pebble-grain goatskin, the leather is deeply textured, durable, and develops a rich, natural patina over time.

  • Iconic Military Detailing: Features a precise double-breasted front, wide lapels with insignia slots (now vacant), and an internal waist belt secured by steel buckles—designed to provide a sharp, commanding silhouette.

  • Refined Accents: Woven leather buttons at the cuffs and a high storm collar with a throat latch add decorative yet functional touches to this military workhorse.

  • Thoughtful Lining: The coat retains its original detachable moleskin lining, offering both warmth and versatility.

All original buttons remain intact, and the internal belt and buckles function flawlessly. The lining, though showing slight age-related discolouration, is in exceptional condition.
