Men's Sherlock Short Trench Coat
The Sherlock Short Trench Coat. Our shorter take on the classic trench, built for British weather without making you look like you’re auditioning for a period drama. Waterproof, easy to layer and cut for everyday wear, the Sherlock comes in black, navy, dark brown and checked options. A men’s waterproof coat with all the useful bits of a trench, just less of it. Short trench coat, long story.

How to Layer a Short Trench Coat
Look, we have been making this short trench for over eleven years, so we know a thing or two about layering. It is all about balance. Repeat after me: the coat already does the talking, so the pieces underneath should complement, not compete.
The cropped length provides tailored structure, sharpening your outfit, whether you are wearing jeans or suit trousers. In winter, add a knit jumper or wool sweatshirt for warmth. When the weather softens, strip it back to a long sleeve shirt or knitted polo shirt. The fit is trim, the shoulders clean. That is the beauty of the short trench. Never too formal, never too casual. Always just right.
How to Style a Men’s Short Trench Coat
A short trench coat is the great equaliser. Finance bro, fashion bro, fitness bro, it works for all of the bros. We suggest the classic, pair with trousers and loafers and you look ready for world domination. Layer over denim and your best trainers and you’re suddenly the bloke everyone asks for “restaurant recs”.
Throw on a cap or a pair of sunnies when the sun’s doing its best impression of summer. But when the weather turns, the waterproof trench is where you really get your money’s worth. 10,000mm waterproof fabric, 2000g/sqm breathability, taped seams and a contrast bonded PU lining. Did we mention we’re the best at this?
A trench should be an everyday essential, not a one-off. Pop the collar if you’re feeling like Graeme Swann. Mix colours, play with contrasts. It should complement, not compete. The best way to style it is to experiment. That’s where the magic happens.
How Waterproof Is the Sherlock Trench Coat?
The Sherlock trench is quite literally built for British weather. It is made from a 10,000mm waterproof technical fabric with 2000g/sqm breathability, constructed with taped seams and a contrast bonded PU lining. What does that mean? It means rain stays out, air flows through, and you stay dry without overheating. It also means you will not find a better waterproof trench coat. This is not your heavy, squeaky raincoat. It is light, comfortable, and ready for anything from drizzle to full downpour. Form and function working together, the way it should be.
The Best Colours for Men’s Trench Coats
The Sherlock comes in Midnight Blue, Espresso Brown, Brown Watcher Check, Black and Forest Green. Sensible enough to wear every day. Interesting enough that nobody calls your coat sensible.
Black and Midnight Blue keep things classic. Espresso Brown and Forest Green add a bit more colour without getting carried away. Then there’s Brown Watcher Check, for when plain feels a bit too plain.
They all work with jeans, trousers, knitwear, trainers, boots. You know, clothes.
And because the Sherlock is cut shorter than a traditional men’s trench coat, whichever colour you pick, it stays sharp rather than Sherlock-Holmes-on-a-foggy-moor.
