Trench Coats

This is a quick post of a comment that I let slide yesterday. A friend of mine realized that the Trench Coat,and pants i was wearing were from Uniqlo. When he saw this he asked "What does Uniqlo do besides make fake Burberry trench coats?" In the kind environment,I didn't want to point out his ignorance,but here's the argument.

Burberry(along with Aquascutum) claim to have made THE FIRST TRENCH COAT. What does that mean? That means EVERY TRENCH COAT would technically be a fake/knock-off Burberry Trench Coat.

So....Don't make any bold statements until you know your history. @ me on twitter at @ThomOswald or email me at dotsanddimes@yahoo.com for any fashion history questions,and I will definitely try to find an answer for you.
