Balham Trench Coat

This double-breasted trench in midweight khaki twill leans into a relaxed, dropped-shoulder silhouette that emphasizes volume over structure. The cotton-lyocell blend provides a soft, fluid drape that resists the stiffness of traditional gabardine, while the clean, oversized lapels keep the focus on the coat’s length. It functions as a utilitarian layer meant for movement, serving as a neutral anchor for layered knits or tailored separates.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment utilizes a polyester lining, which is a petroleum-based plastic fiber that restricts breathability and can trap heat against the skin. Additionally, the "dry clean only" instruction suggests the use of chemical solvents during the manufacturing or finishing process that are not intended for home laundering.
