The classic trench coat is designed in five silhouettes – the Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea, Waterloo and Pimlico – each
style as individual as the London location they’re named after.

The Chelsea

The slim fit – our closest, body-skimming fit with narrow shoulders and a nipped-in waistline. In two colours – honey and midnight – and available in two lengths.

The Kensington

The classic fit – a streamline cut that effortlessly skims the body. Our most popular silhouette, heroed for its versatility. In four colours – mid grey, midnight, honey and black – and available in two lengths.

The Waterloo

The relaxed fit – longer in length with a subtle and relaxed fit that’s ideal for layering over tailoring. In three colours – chestnut, black and honey – and available in one classic length.

The Westminster

The oversized fit – oversized and lightweight, cut for a fluid, draped silhouette. In two colours – honey and dark military khaki – and available in two lengths.

The Pimlico

The straight fit – a single-breasted car coat with minimalist features and a streamlined silhouette. In three colours – biscuit, midnight and honey – and available in one classic length.

An Iconic Design

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 recognisable Burberry trench coat.

Design Details

A revolutionary fabric that's lightweight and breathable. Before gabardine’s invention, traditional weatherproof fabrics were waxed or rubberised to repel water – making them heavy, stiff and uncomfortable to wear.

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.

Collar Construction

It takes one year for each specialist tailor to learn the stitching of the trench coat’s collar – the most intricate part of its construction. More than 180 stitches are sewn by hand to create a fluid curve that sits perfectly on the neck.
