    I just got this trench coat thrifted in South Africa on the weekend. It’s had quite a world journey in its lifetime. From the brand logo and name, I assumed it was from the States or UK and had no luck coming up with any brand affiliations.

    I then discovered tags in the left hand inner pocket- AHA! To discover the tag system looked old and was in Italian. I’ve seen the top numerical system dates the jacket after the 70’s but am unsure of its era.



    Has anyone seen this Italian brand before, or have any other clues about it? Thanks for helping me in my amazing coat mystery. :)

    Looks like the uniform all weather coat we had at my airline. It’s uncanny really.

    USAirways so it’s obviously not the same designer BUT it might indicate that it could be only teetering on the line of vintage. Trench is such a classic style though so it’s hard to tell the time period. My uneducated guess would be no older than the 80s

    Isn't that a no tumble dry symbol on the fabric label?

    Hello Mary,

    Recently my posts have been more intuitive then hard fact, time to put record straight and my head down to a bit of research/delving, here goes.

    Found the rain coat images on the Depo.com site from a year ago.

    The other black label image I found on an Italian Commerce web site.

    Brooklin S.r.l,/Brand appears to be based in Tuscany and was established in 1938.

    There is another Brooklin S.r.l established in the 1980s, both appear to share similar addresses, the 1980 one owns the SOD brand.

    Both labels look similar, lettering certainly does, changes could be down to restyling.

    Check the above out for your self.
