Burberry trench coat

Thomas’s vision:

In 1879, Thomas Burberry realized his dream of helping people stay protected outdoors with breathable, weather-resistant fabric by inventing gabardine – a revolutionary fabric that heralded a new dawn for jacket. Gabardine is breathable unlike other so-called ‘waterproof’ things made from oils, rubbers and waxes that do not distribute air. Thomas went on to create Tielocken from his ingenious fabric and then The world famous Burberry trench coat.
