Here's a screenshot of the article (which is mostly photos) in Tom's link. I kinda like that Maison Margeula one, which reminds me of a very similar design London Fog dig a few years back, although LF added a belt. Not really a traditional trench coat, though.
Whenever I see one of these jackets posted here I immediately think of them the same way I think of Hudson Bay coats: they look great in the dead of winter trudging through a foot of snow, but look stupid at all other times and contexts.
It's important for every man who cares about clothes to learn how to judge himself, not rely on others. Nearly all of the "rules" about clothes which get bandied around on the men's clothing forums are mostly personal biases pumped up into universal rules, in other words, they're b.s. Most of us...
I think the big barrier to finding "the one jacket to rule them all" is Person A making the mistake of thinking that a jacket which suits Person B will also suit A, when in fact A should be looking for a completely different jacket which is more suitable to A and which will look as awesome on A...
If anyone is looking to Schott Perfecto jackets for the broad-shoulder, narrow-waist look then one look at their measurements numbers should end that dream.

Bill Cosby in a Burberry coat. (Please, no comments please about his 'situation', let the courts decide.) It looks like a barely used coat, but not a new/recent one, to judge by the pockets... the coats from the last several years have pockets with the leading edge sewn in, not on top like on...
^ Looks great, Gamma! Having a winter liner & overcollar is really useful for colder days. It's nice to see your coat buttons quite a long way down the front, also useful for colder days.
tan trenchcoat
single-breasted navy blue blazer w gold buttons
light blue dress shirt (poss. button down collar)
grey wool dress pants
grey socks
gucci/horsebit loafers
That's what I'd wear every day if forced to pare it down to the bare minimum. Threads like this can be an interesting mental...
I hate to say this, but it's likely your job won't exist by the time she's entering the workforce. I hope I'm wrong, but billions of dollars and thousands of smart people are working hard right now to make it happen.
