Product Insights

From ET AL, the 1987-founded Melbourne label that makes most of its garments in Australia, the Threadline Trench Tl is a one-size, limited-edition duster (only five made) that reworks the trench as sculptural avant-garde design: an asymmetric collar and hem, side splits, and a self-tie belt—the only closure—let it shift from a cinched A-line to a loose drape, giving two outerwear roles for its AUD 749 price. The 100% cotton shell with Tencel-viscose contrast facings falls as a soft moving column, tracing 1980s Japanese tailoring and drawing Comme des Garçons comparisons, but the untreated, dry-clean-only cotton absorbs rain and offers no weather protection, so the tradeoff is a collectible, belt-styled statement piece rather than a functional rain trench.

Verified claims

Silhouette
Asymmetric collar and hem over an extremely oversized one-size cut give the front an off-center, in-motion silhouette.
Materials
100% cotton shell with 62/38 Tencel-viscose contrast facings — an untreated, dry-clean-only duster, not a weatherproof trench.
Side splits
Side splits stop the coat binding at the knees and let the long hem open around the legs with each stride.
Belt styling
The self-tie belt switches the silhouette: cinched at the natural waist it shapes the volume; left loose, the duster drapes open.
Limited run
Only five made, in one size — a collectible with no size run to exchange into.
Fit
Designed volume and dropped shoulders fit varied bodies; the waist belt is the only adjustment, cinched into an A-line.
Drape
The structured 100% cotton shell reads as an architectural column rather than rigid outerwear, but it holds its shape instead of draping fluidly with movement.
Price context
At AUD 749 the purchase is one of five, not a restockable catalogue duster.
Weather
Untreated cotton shell absorbs rain and is dry-clean-only, so it is not for wet weather.
Design language
Traces to 1980s Japanese avant-garde tailoring; customers benchmark it to Comme des Garçons.
Rarity
Only five made — below ET AL's usual run of 8–24 pieces per style.
Value
AUD 749 buys two outerwear roles via the belt — mid-range in ET AL's own Threadline line.
Cultural placement
A long-time customer calls ET AL Australia's answer to Comme des Garçons — structural, deconstructed, not basic rainwear.
Provenance
Melbourne label founded in 1987 and still family-run, with 70% of garments made in Australia.
Closure
Only closure is the waist belt — no buttons, snaps, or hook-and-eye.
Asymmetric cut
Asymmetric collar and hem break the long line with diagonal cuts — structural, not printed.
Care
Dry-clean only keeps the 100% cotton shell structured; it won't soften into a broken-in ease.
Price positioning
At $749 AUD it sits below $899 heritage-style dusters but above $275 accessible ones.
Lineage
ET AL is a 1987-founded Melbourne house; 70% of its garments are made in Australia.
Construction
Extremely oversized one-size cut with an asymmetric collar and hem creates an off-center fall; side splits open through the stride, and flat-piping on the sleeves adds a controlled vertical line.
Australian production
70% of ET AL's garments are made in Australia.
Collaboration
ET AL designed the Vue De Monde staff wardrobe in 2017.
Body lining
The Threadline Trench TL is not fully lined; the 62% Tencel/38% viscose contrast fabric is used only as facings at the opening, while the main body is 100% cotton.
Sleeve fit
The Threadline Trench TL's sleeves are generously roomy rather than tailored, with flat-piping detailing running along them; no sleeve measurements are published, but the extremely oversized one-size cut gives a relaxed, roomy sleeve.

Threadline Trench Tl: Choose this for an extremely oversized duster coat with a long, loose drape, an asymmetric collar and hem, a waist belt with loops, side seam splits the merchant describes as flattering, and flat-piping on the sleeves. The main fabric is 100% cotton with a 62% Tencel/38% viscose contrast that product images show as copper-toned trim at the cuffs and hem, and it's offered in a single size (ONE SIZE) in a Black / Natural colorway. It's dry clean only, so plan on professional care.[1,3,4]Geo Trench Gf: Choose this if you want an extremely oversized, unisex ankle-length duster in a crinkled, quilted Japanese fabric (50% rayon, 50% polyester), with an asymmetric collar and hem, belt and loops at the waist, and patch pockets with flaps. It comes in Black or Bronze as a limited edition in a single ONE SIZE, designed in Melbourne, with no visible front fasteners, so the closure appears to rely on the belt. It's lined in acetate twill and is dry clean only.[5,6,7,8]Gilded Coat Gs: Choose this for a statement oversized coat: the double-breasted Ruby design has a large notched lapel with a buttoned front closure, raglan sleeves with tab-and-button cuffs, oversized patch pockets, and a buckled belt to shape the waist. It is cut long and loose, with a hem falling below mid-calf on the model, in a 71% rayon, 15% nylon, 14% cupro fabric with a shiny, slightly crinkled metallic sheen. It comes in one size only and is dry clean only (P).[9,10,11,12]
