Made in Castleford, Yorkshire for over 50 years and cut from gabardine – a revolutionary fabric that Thomas Burberry invented in 1879. Polished and practical, a beautiful weatherproof cotton that remains at the heart of Burberry.

 

The trench coat evolved from the Tielocken coat, patented by Thomas Burberry in 1912. A simple yet refined shape that adapted over the years to become the instantly recognizable Burberry trench coat.

​

A design born from function to protect the military during the First World War. Its unmistakable epaulettes originally displayed an officer’s rank, while the belt’s metal D-rings were used to attach equipment.
