Burberry Trench Coat showing Check inside lining

Burberry Heritage

Made in the UK,
the Trench

The trench is the cornerstone of Burberry. Made from gabardine, a shower-resistant fabric invented by Thomas Burberry, our
Heritage Trench and Car Coats are crafted in Yorkshire and hand-finished by a team of specialist tailors.

Woven with Care

Our coats have been crafted from
cotton gabardine and lined with
the Burberry Check for more than
a century. Today, these iconic
fabrics are woven at our mill
in Keighley, Yorkshire.

Built with Precision

Every piece of gabardine is
inspected by hand, ensuring
perfection of colour and surface
before the cutting of a single piece
of fabric.

Hand-finished Details

From buttons to belt loops, details
are stitched on by hand – the most
intricate being the collar. Made up
of eight parts and up to 200 stitches,
it takes up to a year of training for
each specialist tailor to master the
fluid curve that allows the collar to
sit perfectly on the neck.

The Heritage Trench Coats are named after different London boroughs – each shape personifying its unique character.
