The brown faux leather trench coat

Strutting By Faux Leather Trench Coat – Brown $69.99 The trench coat is a double breasted button front faux leather belted trench coat with collar and pockets. It is lined with 100% polyester fabric and the outer shell is made of 50% Polyurethane 50% Polyester. The only complaints that I have about this trench coat is that it’s impossible to get the wrinkles out. The same is true for the other faux leather trench coats I’ve recently purchased. I tried a few “how to get wrinkles out of leather” ideas I found around the web but they did not work.
