The armies of that time issued a greatcoat, like a military overcoat. It was not water resistant, so the trench coat was invented. Also, soldiers were innovative in layering extra clothing with their uniforms. They also had stoves fueled by wood which offered little heat and were not available in sufficient number for everyone. Mind you, these methods did not keep the soldiers comfortably warm, but warm enough to stay alive. The trenches were still miserable places, and very cold in the winter.
