A few years later, he patented a method of producing a water-repellent textile. The name Aquascutum was a mere description of the fabric developed.... Aqua (water), Scutum (shield). Over the years and with major advancements, the Aquascutum trench coat has been worn by celebrities, Royalty, political leaders, the armed forces and stars of the silver screen.
