Burberry’s dark navy longline Chelsea trench coat arrives in breathable and water-resistant cotton gabardine – Norwegian explorer Dr Fridtjof Nansen wore outerwear in the house’s wool weave to conquer the South Pole in 1893. It’s hand tailored in the UK to a relaxed silhouette with a detachable belt, storm flaps and cuff buckles to keep the wind out. Turn up the adjustable collar to highlight the tan Vintage-check lining.
Creators of the wardrobe staple that never goes out of style, Burberry has been a leading voice of fashion innovation since its Basingstoke beginnings in 1856. From the early invention of gabardine to its 1990s fashion re-birth, Burberry has always declared its character in a resolute voice, with an artful approach to heritage style.
Harper’s Bazaar Fashion Ecommerce Editor, Abigail Southan says: “We had to kick things off with the OG trench: the military coat first dreamed up by Thomas Burberry in 1916. It's shape shifted a little since then – the Chelsea design has a ladylike A-line fit and a nipped-in waist – but all the signatures we know and love remain. Made from waterproof cotton-gabardine, each one is detailed with epaulettes, storm flaps, buckled collars and cuffs, then lined with that iconic check”. 17 March 2021.
