Combinable y muy elegante. El trench – también llamado gabardina – es una de esas prendas que todo hombre debería tener. Fue Thomas Burberry quien en 1880 patentó el tejido impermeable, por el que luego se dio a conocer esta prenda. Icónica y emblemática, la gabardina ha sido parte de los uniformes militares británicos. Del mismo modo, ha formado parte de la iconografía cinematográfica gracias a personajes como Alain Delloin, o el siemrpe sofisticado Steve McQueen. Eso por no hablar de Humphrey Bogart en el papel de Rick Blaine, o Peter Sellers como el Inspector Closeau. Aunque la televisión, también ha ayudado en gran medida a potenciar la fama de esta prenda. Y si no que se lo digan al detective 'Colombo', quien aparte de nunca apagar el cigarrillo (o el puro), era muy difícil verle despojado de su querida gabardina.
The trench - also called gabardine - is one of those items that every man should have. A piece that came out from an idea of Thomas Burberry, who patented the woven waterproof fabric who lately named the garment back in 1880. Iconic and emblematic, the trench coat has been part of the British military uniforms, in the same way, has been part of the iconography film thanks to actors like Alain Delon, or the always sophisticated Steve McQueen. Others such us Humphrey Bogart in the role of Rick Blaine ('Casablanca'), or Peter Sellers as Inspector Closeau. Although television, has also greatly helped to enhance the fame of this item. I am talking about detective 'Columbo', who apart from never turn off the cigarette (or the cigar), it was very difficult watch it without his beloved gabardine.
