Every element of a full-length trench is here and the whole thing stops at the hip. The double-breasted front, the wide notched collar, the buckled belt, the strapped cuffs - all of it, compressed into a jacket rather than a coat.
That compression is what makes it useful. A long trench needs somewhere to go; this one works over a wide trouser or a midi skirt without covering the thing you are actually wearing. The sleeves are cut raglan so the shoulder stays soft, and the cloth is a firm cotton twill that holds the belt line sharply.
It is the coat for the two months either side of winter, which in most places is most of the year.
