Top Trench Coats for Men in 2025

The summer is drawing to a close, the weather is all over the bloody shop, and you’re starting to ponder the kind of outfits you’re going to be assembling as bonfires and ghouls draw ever closer. Whatever that outfit of your mind entails, you know what’s going to top it off perfectly? A trench coat.

We’ve taken the liberty of creating this page to help you find the best trench coats for men and, more specifically, the best trench coat for you.

What is the best trench coat brand?

You already know the answer. Sure, Burberry had its moment, and yes, the French tried to claim it, but the best trench coat brand right now is Percival. Why? Because we actually make coats you can wear in the rain without needing a chauffeur. Because we listen to our customers, not just the history books. And because our trenches look just as good heading into a boardroom as they do stumbling out of the pub at midnight. Other brands will give you heritage, we give you heritage and a life worth living in it.

Traditional Trench Coats

Aside from Percival's trench coats —which are the best by a long way and you can quote us on that—in terms of traditional trench coats, Burberry and Mackintosh are your go-tos. Both companies have been in the trench coat game for well over a hundred years, and they both very much know what they’re doing.

Waterproof Trench Coat

Honestly, look no further than good old Percival for a waterproof trench. Built from 7000mm waterproof technical fabric with 2000g per square metre breathability, it is tough enough for downpours and easy enough to wear all day. Finished with taped seams, a contrast bonded PU lining, a roomy internal pocket that swallows a MacBook, and two welt pockets at the waist. Cut with button fastening in a relaxed yet structured fit that layers without fuss. Find better than our Greyson collection, and we’d very much like to talk to you. Private White V.C. do a nice one but it’ll cost you over £1,000 more than a Percival coat. Your call.

Short Trench Coat

Eleven years in the making and sharpened with every bit of customer feedback, the Sherlock is now the best it has ever been. Again—and you can ask GQ if you think we’re lying—Percival’s Sherlock is unchallenged in the short trench coat field. The people at GQ called it “peerless” and we happen to agree. The Sherlock is also waterproof, it’s cut perfectly above the knee and below the hip.

The Midnight Navy Trench Coat

Disclaimer - Do not act surprised when half the city turns up in a navy trench this autumn and winter. We told you it was coming. Consider this your spoiler alert. Everyone else will call it a trend, but you will know it is just Percival being two steps ahead as usual.

COS do a tidy navy trench. Private White V.C. can put their name on a good one too. But if you want quality, style, and value in the same coat, you’ve already landed in the right place. Our Midnight Navy Trench is no joke, it is the benchmark. The best your money can buy, built to outlast trends and outclass coats ten times the price. We won’t judge you if you shop elsewhere, but we wouldn’t understand your decision on any level. If you're looking for more ways to wear it, we've got you covered. Check out our guide on how to style a trench coat.

Casual Trench Coat

There are good casual trench coats to be found out there. Row Montrose do one for around $4,000, Buck Mason have one that’ll set you back a bob or two, or you could get the best on the market by forking out a comparatively measly sum for a Percival Serlock. It comes in four different colourways, it’s light as a feather and resistant to weather, and it’s gonna make you look like you solve unfathomable murder cases simply to protect your brilliant mind from the tedium of everyday life.

Best Trench Coat for a Date

For a date, personally, we’re going a little more dressy. The relaxed cream trench coat is a great option to pair with a nice shirt and smart trousers, or even a black or navy roll neck to contrast the lighter shade of the trench.

Best Trench Coat to wear to the Office

For a trip to the office we’re recommending our Minnesota Overcoat. You’ll look smart, understated, and you’ll feel like a 1950s detective a la L.A. Noire or something like that. That sort of vibe will carry you through the most difficult of work days.
