Islington Short Cotton-Twill Trench Coat

We won’t waste our time telling you about Burberry’s heritage when it comes to trench coats; the British label has long been synonymous with the iconic layer. This iteration, dubbed the Islington (after a particularly swish London neighbourhood), is cut entirely from cotton-twill, so it’s as lightweight as it is hardwearing. Fastening through a double-breasted front, the slender silhouette is cinched with a belt – and finished with signature checks on the lining.

• 100% cotton; sleeve lining 100% viscose

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.
