In The 90s - Toys of the Nineties Index

Comments left:	This discussion, I think, is about two related but different articles of clothing. A trench coat, as I know it, is a coat between hip and knee length (sometimes longer) made of polyester or a polyester/cotton blend that is often treated to repel rain and snow.The fabric is thin but it may have an insulated liner that zips out.They usually come in shades of tan to gray though the Matrix and "goths" wore black. There are also overcoats/ topcoats, which are commonly dark in color, wool or a wool blend, sometimes cashmere. They also range from hip to knee length and are heavier, with a permanent lining. I still have a charcoal wool Christian Dior charcoal herringbone overcoat circa 1991 (though I can no longer wear it because I kept growing). I wore it as my everyday coat whether with dress pants to school, or with jeans and a sweatshirt.
