The range
Longline – the trench as one unbroken line
Ankle-length sweep with a concealed placket – no buttons interrupting the front, a belt that disappears into the silhouette.
The Halden is our longest coat, cut to sweep the ankle and read as a single continuous line from collar to hem. The trick is what you cannot see: a concealed placket hides the full-length button closure entirely, so nothing interrupts the front, and the self belt ties into a flat knot that sits in the silhouette rather than on it.
Charcoal was the only shade for this shape on launch – grey enough to stay quiet against British skies, dark enough to carry the length – and ecru joined it for wardrobes that live in creams and stones. Ecru at ankle length is a commitment to living carefully, and quietly the most photographed coat in the range.
The honest fit note: length is personal at this scale. The Halden is cut to fall at the ankle on a 5 ft 7 in frame; the length table in our Trench Fit Guide shows the exact centimetres per size, and a clean hem adjustment keeps the facing intact if you are shorter.
Wear it with
Over jeans to make them look intentional; over eveningwear to make it look effortless. Tonal creams for the full column, or hard black underneath to make the coat the entire statement.

Quick answers
Asked about this line
I am 5 ft 3 in – is this hopeless for me?
Not at all – plan a hem. The length table shows what to expect, and a tailor can shorten from the hem keeping the facing intact.
Does the placket open fully?
Yes – the concealed closure is a full-length button placket, so it opens flat for dressing and pressing.
Charcoal or ecru for a first long coat?
Charcoal for daily city wear; ecru if your wardrobe is already pale and you accept the care it asks for.
