Men's Trench Coats

The trench coat is one of very few garments to survive from military issue into permanent civilian use without losing its identity. Developed for officers in the First World War, it was built around a simple brief: keep rain out, allow free movement and last. More than a century on, that brief still describes exactly what makes a good trench coat worth owning.

While traditional trench coats are known for their distinctive military-inspired details, Jack Murphy's men's collection focuses on long waterproof coats that share the same emphasis on protection, practicality and timeless style. Designed for modern wear, they offer the length and weather resistance associated with the classic trench coat, with versatile designs suited to everyday life. They sit naturally alongside our long coats and waterproof jackets and coats in the wider outerwear range.

For anyone looking for a luxury trench coat for men that works as hard as it looks, the appeal lies in versatility. Few coats move as easily between a rainy commute, a country weekend and a formal occasion, and fewer still manage it while keeping you genuinely dry.

Every Detail Has a Purpose

The trench coat is a masterclass in functional design. The storm flap across the chest channels rain away from the body, and the deep back vent lets you walk freely without the coat pulling.

Those features remain because they work. Combined with a generous collar that fastens high at the throat and sleeve straps that close against driving rain, the design handles genuinely poor weather rather than simply suggesting it could.

Weather Protection Without Compromise

A trench coat has to keep rain out while still looking tailored, which places real demands on the fabric. Our styles use closely woven, weather-resistant cloth with considered seam construction, giving dependable protection through showers and sustained rain alike.

The cut allows room for a suit jacket or knitwear underneath without losing its line, so the coat works through changing temperatures. For heavier, more technical protection, our men's raincoats offer an alternative built specifically for prolonged wet weather.

Formal Enough, Relaxed Enough

What keeps the trench coat in wardrobes decade after decade is how little it asks of the rest of your outfit. Over a suit it looks entirely correct. Over jeans and knitwear it looks relaxed and considered. The same coat covers both without adjustment.

Classic colourways through stone, navy and olive reinforce that flexibility, avoiding anything that ties the coat to a particular season. Browse the complete men's jackets and coats collection for other silhouettes, or explore wool coats for a warmer alternative in cold, dry weather.

What is a trench coat?

A trench coat is a long waterproof coat characterised by a storm flap, high fastening collar, sleeve straps and a back vent. It was developed as military outerwear during the First World War and has been worn as civilian outerwear ever since.

Are trench coats waterproof?

Trench coats are designed to be weather-resistant, with closely woven fabric and features such as the storm flap channelling rain away from the body. Levels of protection vary by style, and individual product pages set out the specification for each coat.

Are trench coats warm?

A trench coat is primarily built for rain and wind rather than deep cold. It layers well over knitwear or a jacket, and some styles include additional padding. For colder, drier weather our padded styles or a wool coat provides more insulation.

Can you wear a trench coat with a suit?

Yes. The trench coat was originally cut to be worn over uniform, and modern versions retain enough room through the shoulders and body to sit comfortably over a suit jacket without pulling or bunching.

How should a men's trench coat fit?

Shoulders should sit at your natural shoulder line and the coat should close comfortably over a jacket. Sleeves should reach the wrist bone but overall length is a matter of preference, though below the knee is traditional.

How do I care for a trench coat?

Always follow the care label, as cleaning methods differ depending on the fabric and any water-repellent treatment. Hang the coat on a broad hanger, let it dry naturally if it becomes wet, and avoid direct heat.
