The history of the Burberry trench coat

To introduce a little bit of history, the Burberry trench coat was first introduced to the world by Thomas Burberry. It was made from 100% cotton gabardine, a fabric which was also invented by Thomas Burberry (what a wise man). It was originally designed as a military jacket. It originated from waterproof jackets created in the early 1820s. It still adds that flavour to any outfit, be it casual or professional. Over the years, there have been many innovations with the Burberry trench coat and it has become a global fashion icon not only for its technical designs and details, but also for its timelessness. The Burberry trench coat is a fashionable statement piece noticed by many celebrities nowadays.

Fun facts

The Burberry trench coat is actually designed in five silhouettes, including Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea, Waterloo and Pimlico. Do some of these names look familiar to you? Well, they're inspired by a London location, so they can certainly sound familiar. Each Burberry trench coat has its own signature style. Interesting, right?! 

The Burberry trench coat is available for all ages and sizes. The Burberry trench coat for women, the Burberry trench coat for men and then there is the Burberry trench coat for children. How cute?!

The modern Burberry trench coat

In addition to the five silhouettes, there is much more about the famous Burberry jacket in terms of fit..

Classic Fit
The classic fit tapers at the waist, but still looks good with something underneath.

Slimmer Fit
The slimmer fit is meant to flatter your body if you want a more trimmer look, not meant to be worn with anything on the inside.

Relaxed Fit
The relaxed fit is made to be comfortable. It's the widest style and definitely made for layering, for example if you want to wear a cardigan or sweater on the inside.

Tailored Fit 
The tailored fit is in between the slimmer fit and the classic fit.

New vs Vintage

It is always interesting to compare a new price and the vintage price. Especially the Burberry new vs vintage price. Not only because it is durable, but also because it is a huge price difference.

A new Burberry trench coat is available from 900 euros and can go up to 5000 euros. While a vintage Burberry trench coat can be found for a price around 300-500 euros. Need more reasons to buy your Burberry trench coat second hand? I don't think so.
