Warmth, elegance and versatility: why choose a Herno down jacket

Wearing a trench coat is not (only) about protecting your clothes from the rain. Just as wearing a coat is not a choice that is meant (only) to protect you from the cold. Trench coats and coats are garments that carry a story, that convey a mood, a style. Two garments, by the way, that remember each other because of their very similar cut; what makes them different are definitely the fabrics, as each of them has its own very specific one.

The forerunner of the trench coat was the Mackintosh, invented in 1823: it was a straight-lined coat, cut above the knee and made of a special fabric that combined two layers of cotton lined with caoutchouc. To trace the origins of the coat, however, we have to travel back in time to the 18th century, when the first tailcoats, the ancestors of our coat, appeared in the first French courts, worn mainly by the nobility and the upper middle class. Today, there are fashion companies that devote their productions exclusively to this type of garment, precisely because the consumer sets them apart from the rest of his or her wardrobe. The "outerwear" defines an outfit but also a character. There's no denying it: shoes and coats tell the personality of the wearer. There is no doubt about it: shoes and coats tell the personality of the wearer. Herno is a leader when it comes to coats: the Italian brand is an expert in outerwear, producing innovative coats and jackets that have been dictating the rules of fashion since 1948. Herno is the perfect choice for those looking for an outerwear of quality fabrics that are innovative and always contemporary, with a taste for the classic and for the regularity of fashion that fears no comparison. Whether you need an coat for your daily commitments, for a sports weekend in a rainy location or for an important event, Herno always has the ideal solution.

Women's Herno coats and trench coats

There is an aphorism that goes: 'Put on a trench coat, and suddenly you feel like Audrey Hepburn walking along the Seine'. Because the trench coat is a garment that immediately lends an unparalleled elegance and can become a passe-par-tout for any outfit. The trench coat was immediately loved by big stars such as Greta Garbo; since then, which was the 1920s, the trench coat became a must for every woman. In the 1930s it was Bette David who wore a black mackintosh, while in the 1940s it found its consecration in the world of noir movies. A style icon who wouldn't give up this garment? Jack Onassis, who proclaimed its style.

Herno proposes a range of trench coats and coats that, in their lines and colours, are able to satisfy all kinds of tastes and look requirements.

• Herno trench coats for women. It recalls the military coat, (from which, by the way, this type of garment originates) the trench coat proposed by Herno in light military tones; Inevitable, then, is the one in sand tones, the most classic of trench coats: with its London style, the water-repellent treatment makes it perfect in all weather conditions. Sensual and particularly feminine is the trench coat that Herno offers in black: a timeless classic that the brand has designed for those who love to wear garments that have made the history of elegance.

• Herno coats for women. The coat expresses a woman's personality: eclectic, elegant, feminine, sporty, rigorous, and reserved. For every character, a coat: and this Herno knows it well because it offers colours, fabrics and models for every desire. A classic cut and neutral colours for the basic coat, from mastic to black, with a classic tailoring-inspired line, designed for a variety of occasions, from the most formal to daily duties. But Herno also works with... lightness. In fabrics and aesthetics. As it does with the proposal of a bright green coat in stretch jersey that winks at the theme of sustainability thanks to its resistance over time. Herno is also attentive to those who love particular styles: it offers a casual tweed coat with a particularly vintage and romantic taste, in Chantilly shades and embellished with refined lurex threads and sequins; for a glam rock and definitely sensual look, Herno has designed a coat in compact nylon and tulle, which is inspired by the classic biker jacket and with its tulle hem and sleeves provides a sophisticated, elegant see-through effect.

Men's Herno coats and trench coats

The last scene of the film 'Casablanca' is, in itself, an icon of cinema. And from that frame, we particularly remember what Humprey Bogart wore: the legendary trench coat that protected him from the rain in that film sequence. Even Jack Lemmon, in The Apartment, paid homage to the trench coat when walking around New York; not to mention Peter Sellers, a.k.a. Inspector Clouseau, who made the grey coat a trademark of the character in The Pink Panther series.

Herno's production focused immediately on men's clothing items such as coats, distinguishing itself by the high quality of these garments. In recent years, the company has focused on the search for innovative fabrics and excellent manufacturing techniques, while remaining faithful to the value of craftsmanship.

• Herno trench coats for men. The classic trench coat is must, proposed in shades of sand and black, which for Herno are a true tribute to the history of the garment as well as to the origins of the brand itself, which has been working since 1948 to propose garments of this type that are ever more beautiful and with ever more innovative materials. Classic double-breasted fastening, back slit and lapel collar: the strictest rules for the trench coat that knows how to tell about itself and the man who wears it. But Herno also thinks of those who want to combine tradition with contemporaneity and does so with a short trench coat in light military tones. Regular fit, it draws the silhouette softly and satisfies a rigorous yet playful taste.

• Herno coats for men. The colours are the most neutral, to emphasise the elegance of the man who chooses Herno: they range from navy blue to black to blue, to shades of ice for the laminated carcoats. The Herno coats are modern yet minimalist designs, traditional and legendary: because, as Herno says in making the coat 'speak', 'fashions pass, but I remain in every man's life even more powerful and immortal for generations'.
