Trencas / Duffle coats

La Trenca es una prenda de abrigo que se caracteriza por abrocharse con botones de forma alargada que se sujetan con alamares. Este tipo de abrigos son conocidos también como Montgomery, debido a su popularización en la Segunda Guerra Mundial por el mariscal Montgomery.

Prenda por excelencia de invierno, las trencas datan de 1890 cuando el británico John Partridge, un fabricante de indumentaria masculina, inició su comercialización. Posteriormente se adaptaron para la Marina Británica con el objeto de proteger a los oficiales del frío y el viento del Mar del Norte y el Atlántico. Su gran capucha tenía capacidad para ser usada con la gorra de uniforme y su especiales cierres estaban pensados para poder abotonar la prenda con guantes gruesos.

En inglés, su nombre Duffle coat, deriva de la ciudad belga del mismo nombre donde se tejía el paño especial de lana pesada y densa con el que se fabricaban. A su llegada a España se haría popular como ‘Trenca’. Todo parece indicar que el origen del nombre provenga de una españolización de ‘Trench coat’ (abrigo de trinchera).

El modelo clásico presenta las siguientes características:

  • Forro interior de cuadros.
  • Capucha con cuello abotonable.
  • Tres o cuatro botones alargados, de madera o hueso de forma cónica y algo curvados como cuernos abrochados con alamares.
  • Dos bolsillos exteriores con solapa
  • Largo tres cuartos

La trenca ha sido una prenda orientada al público infantil. Sin embargo, la industria de la moda la ha reinventado para adultos cambiando las formas, tejidos y colores pero manteniendo sus características diferenciales: los botones con cintas y la gran capucha. Yo he tenido varias trencas de pequeña y aún me siguen encantando. Tu tienes alguna?

A Duffle coat, is a coat made from duffel, a coarse, thick, woollen material. Such coats are also known as Montgomery, due to its popularity in the Second World War by Marshal Montgomery.

Wintery garment by excellence, this coat dates from 1890 when the British John Partridge, a manufacturer of clothing, began commercialization. Later on, it was adapted by the British Navy and used by officers and men of the watch to protect against the biting Atlantic and North Sea wind. The toggles could be unfastened whilst wearing thick gloves, and hoods were carefully designed to fit over peaked Naval caps.

The name Duffle originally referred to a heavy woollen cloth closely woven for warmth and manufactured in the Belgian Town of Duffel. However over the years it has come to signify a hooded coat with the distinctive toggle fastenings.

There are many varying styles to the duffel coat, although the original British style would be composed of the following features:

  • Made of genuine double weave Duffel, lined with a woolly tartan pattern, or self-coloured on the wartime version.
  • A buttonable neck strap.
  • Three or later, four front wooden or horn toggle-fastenings with rope or leather loops to attach them to, thus also known as a “toggle coat,” especially in the United States.
  • Two large outside patch pockets, with covering flaps on post-war versions.
    Originally knee length, shorter on later versions.
  • Bucket hood with press stud adjustment.

The duffle coat was oriented to children garment. However, the fashion industry has reinvented the adult use, changing shapes, fabrics and colors while maintaining its distinctive features : buttons with toggles and large hood . I usually worn them was I was child, and I still love them. Do you have any duffle coat?
