Classic Cotton Trench

About this piece

The Burberry Classic Cotton Trench is the garment that defined the brand and arguably the coat category itself. This pre-owned example is crafted from Burberry's proprietary cotton gabardine — a tightly woven, inherently shower-resistant fabric originally developed by Thomas Burberry himself in the late 19th century — in the house's most celebrated signature honey tone. Every single design detail has a clear, practical purpose: the storm flap protects the chest in heavy weather, the raglan sleeves allow completely unrestricted arm movement throughout the day, the D-ring belt buckle adjusts precisely to the waist, and the epaulettes were originally designed to carry military insignia in the field. Fully lined in Burberry's instantly recognisable beige, camel, black, and red house check. The double-breasted front closes with the same quality brass hardware found consistently on the original military trench design. Worn casually open in spring and neatly belted in autumn, this versatile coat performs genuinely well for twelve months of the year. Pre-owned and individually authenticated by e.clothing.
