This trench is really something! I found it while on my holiday in Bolton, it's the kind of crazy and stand-out piece I look for in my charity shop browsing!
Firstly it's a long coat, a lot of coats nowadays seem to me to only reach the knees, not that this is an issue, as a short person they're a little longer anyway really. This one is nearly down to my ankles! The trench shape is lovely, I like the kind of cropped section that hangs down separately from the main coat and the tie adds some nice waist definition. It has a formidably high buttoned neck, but it also has pockets, because every trench-bedecked villain needs places to put things! Which is great as the shoulders made it hard to carry bags on them. Also, I'd say super-villian as the shoulder pads on this thing are fierce! And that it looks like it could be made of a magical (1990s) silver snake.
The only issue with the coat is that it makes a kind of odd rustling noise due to the fabric. It hails my arrival, I'm sure...
