Everlane The Modern Trench

Everlane re-stocks annually in fall. Sells out fastest in tan/khaki and storm gray. Spray with Nikwax TX.Direct every 6 months to maintain water resistance.

The Everlane Modern Trench is the right $250 trench. Slim modern cut, recycled-cotton gabardine, water-resistant (not waterproof). The corners are cut where you'd expect — plastic buttons, polyester-blend lining, single-thread belt loops. As a fashion piece you'll wear 30 days a year for 4-5 years, it's the right buy. As a forever piece, it's not — but it's not pretending to be.
