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.
The Burberry name is inseparable from the gabardine trench coat it designed in 1901, now a fashion staple. Today, its artful approach to heritage style means outerwear for women and men is just part of a collection that spans red carpet dresses to the iconic Burberry check scarf and luxury bags.
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.
