Ever since the launch of Next for Men in 1984, the trench coat has been a part of the classic range of men's clothing. This version from the Autumn/Winter of 1993 is shown with a wool dog's-tooth check single-breasted jacket and pleated trousers. Together they make up a classic day outfit for men in the early 1990s.
At the time formal day wear and business clothes, especially tailored suits and jackets, were key elements of the NEXT range. It was this contrast with the casual collections that made NEXT for Men such a success, catering as it did for different markets and for the different needs of individual customers.
