Women’s London Fog Vintage Green Button Up Tie Waist Trench Coat Size 8P

The item shown is a London Fog trench coat. The company, originally founded in 1922, became well-known for producing waterproof clothing for the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war, London Fog partnered with DuPont to create water-resistant fabrics and introduced a patented removable liner, which became a signature feature of their coats. The first London Fog "Maincoat" was sold in 1954 at Saks Fifth Avenue. The company designed its men's raincoats after the World War I "trench coats," including details like epaulets, sleeve straps, and a belt. By the 1970s, two-thirds of all raincoats sold in the United States were London Fog. Based on the visible features, such as the double-breasted button closure, belted waist, and green/olive color, the coat is a classic style from the brand.
