In 2009, American Trench co-owner Jacob Hurwitz left London with an off-white belted trench in tow and begged this question to his friend David Neill: How can there not be a domestic maker of fashion-forward outerwear? A year and one Kickstarte­r campaign later, Wynnewood’s American Trench was born. “We didn’t want to make a stuff y Inspector Gadget-type coat,” says Hurwitz about their design inspiratio­n. The province of their wares is paramount, with everything made in the U. S., including their popular line of knit hats and socks. Be on the lookout this fall for a collaborat­ive capsule collection with local designers Gentry & Rose and Whisler Civilian.
