A Trenchcoat is a heavy duty type of outdoor clothing. Originally designed for soldiers fighting in Trench Warfare in World War I, it is made usually from heavy duty cotton. Trenchcoats became a popular fashion item after the 1960's, and found prominence amongst punk rockers and goths. Nowadays, the trenchcoat transcends all societal barriers and is popular amongst almost all levels of society due to its heating and rainproof qualities.
