The VINTAGE VENTILE RIDERS TRENCH COAT is at once
highly featured and functional as well as an unusual, stylish long coat whose
fascinating design dates back very far as a basic equestrian, then
motorcycle, military
and civilian coat.
Note the lack of the usual
button closure. Instead, an adjustable strap passes through a D-ring to secure
the front. This field-driven feature makes opening and closing a breeze and
obtains a beautifully clean, distinctive front. Belted, of course.
Adjustable collar strap with genuine antique Bakelite buttons. Full-length
(mid-calf). A dashing biased zippered pocket tucked under the left lapel
for passport (now, phone). Twin interior pockets. Front Bakelite-buttoned
slash pockets lined in genuine 100% Cotton Suede for superior comfort and
strength.
Lacking the usual
epaulets and trench coat front shoulder flap and rear shoulder cape, the Riders Trench Coat
is a very pure design, emphasizing its riding lineage. Yet owing to our
fabulous materials and construction, very dressy over a suit and, of course,
casual cool over jeans. We know it's tough but sometimes one needs to wear
something other than a LOST WORLDS leather jacket!
Available
in genuine English Ventile Cotton, renowned, ultra-expensive high-performance textile
notable for wind and wet repellency, lined in Royal Blue 100% Pure Nylon
Satin; luxurious
Pure Alpaca Wool in the distinctive Heather Brown color, providing excellent warmth
with lovely softness, drape and comfortable weight, Brown 100% Pure Nylon Satin
Lining; Lightweight 100% Khaki Gabardine Cotton, Self-lined, for comfort,
portability and excellent strength where heavyweight warmth not required.
Made
in USA by LOST WORLDS, of course, at our own factory and of the peerless quality
and fit for which we've become the benchmark. This is one stunner, conservative,
given its military and equestrian lineage, and accordingly original and
masculine but hip to the nines because we strike our own course, ignoring
compromise, fashion effeminacy and lemming-like conformity!
