I bought mine for $175 at Syms 20 years ago. Still going strong. Went into their flagship store in NY last year. $1800 for a polyester rag that doesn’t even get to my knees, no liner, no wooly collar. They are just embarrassing themselves these days

I have two Burberrys’ Trench coats and I get made fun of quite often in school. Luckily, I come prepared, as I absolutely don’t care about the opinions of others. I can only recommend flea markets and thrift stores, you may find high end models for cheap. I found mine there for £30, it’s from the pre-2000 era (it says Burberrys’ not Burberry) has all buttons and all other accessories, fits perfectly as well! I love it, and some random Kids talking smack won’t stop me.

To make your investment in Burberry trench count, always stick to the classic, original good-old-military length.

I have a London fog trench coat that I purchased back in the early 90s excellent quality its served me very well over the years

I LOVE The Burberry Trench!!! Its my ultimate Fashion goal to get one.. Its the iconic piece that will never go out of style!!!!!!!

The lining in sleeves are almost always viscose, or something similar, as it allows for a frictionless putting on/taking off. Were they to use cotton etc. you would have to pull the cuffs of your shirt, and adjust your sleeves all the time. The same often applies to the shoulder area in a lining, you don't want it to get "stuck" to your clothes underneath.

Hey, this video was great! Would love to see this turn into a series. While I appreciate all the general information you bring forward, going into the details of specific items/brands like this is even more educational imo.

I inherited my Father 's ... 💘 I still have the the lining !!! I've seen jewelry and accessories needle point Sunflowers and Daisies on it I love it ! Got a blue 1 from Thrift store and do something to that 1 !!!

Always a quality video at the right time. Helped me a lot. Thanks.

Yes, do more videos on whether some famous designer brands are worth it. Thanks!

I'm now in my 70's, and there is a Burberry in my closet. I was passed down to me by my late father. These coats wear like iron. When I put on my Burberry, I actually often think of my late grand uncle, who was a sergeant, fighting in France during WWI. The strength of the coat . . . the memories it revives - they're all a lot to ask from a mere article of clothing. In Mandarin Chinese we have a saying: 'What is expensive is not expansive - what is inexpensive is not really inexpensive'. Just remember, the Burberry you buy today, maybe worn by your grandson tomorrow. 'What is expensive - is not expensive - what is inexpensive - is not inexpensive'.

It's the only trench coat I own and I love it. I purchased it during a trip to London many years ago.

This would definitely be worth expanding into a full series.

Great idea for a series! Might I suggest you talk about the Barbour Wax jacket, since (at least in Europe) they are a staple of a Gentleman's wardrobe.

Great video really like the idea of this becoming a series =)

The vintage Burberry is the one to get. It's pure class and will never go out of style like the new models. Find one with the flaps over the pockets, a little worn is cool. Make sure the label has the s after Burberry, its the best made. The single breasted is cool with a nice Fedora and scarf. The well informed will know what you're wearing and find a way to acknowledge you style...

Thanks for the tip with Rudolf Beaufays! Im gonna take a look there and see if i can get myself a coat!

Omg i have beeen waiting for this exact video for so long..... thank u for doing it.

Fantastic video format!

Holy crap, this is a freaky coincidence: my friend was looking for jacket staples and I was teaching him about trench coats, pre-1999 Burberry trench coats, and about the Gentleman's Gazette; 6 hours later I get home and see this video in my news feed.

I have one, and the thing is, there is such a small time when you can wear it. Its not warm enough for winter. That's when the Canada Goose comes out as the only thing I can wear. Trench coat is good for 2 months out of a year.

Really like this type of video. Wolud like to see more in the future

Love this series!

Excellent video. Many thanks!

great video! lots of great info!

The viscose lining in the sleeves is used for the wearer to better slip in the trenchcoat, since viscose is kind of slidy. It's less easy to get into sleeves with a cotton lining. That's why a lot of jackets have polyester sleeve linings, viscose is already an upgrade. But you are right, it's not luxury. Burberry could go for a tencel / lycocell -mix -lining, that would be awesome.

Great series idea, especially for those like me who are not used to such big names that get them somehow "intimidated"

Yes, this is a good series. Keep it going.

Great idea for a fresh new series!

That black trench is awesome 👍 I'm still on the hunt for that perfect black trench coat for myself, a lot of them in thrift stores are way to faded.

Great video. I highly recommend a video on a casual look for a gentleman perhaps something to do with a polo shirt or something along the lines

Yes! More is it worth it videoes, especially the gucci horse bit loafer. And maybe have some alternatives would be great. Love your videos!

Off course it’s worth it, i love my Westminister trench.

I'm not a man, but these videos are interesting and I learn so much!

Sven, does your local weather permit much wearing of trenchcoats? For me, I find that its either a hot summer, then cold winter with not much fall. A wool peacoat is better for my purposes when its cold. You always make great content

Only for 25y/o + men or if you’re classy enough to pull it off. Short length is seasonal/trendy and if you’re less formal. For the older gents or if you’re looking for the classic/traditional/timeless look, then no matter how short you are go for the mid length to long version or just long enough to get it a tiny bit past the knee.

I try to make burberry trench coat for a customer back in 2019. Its hard to source the khaki gabardine fabric. And all the pattern making and making sample in grey fabric. Then for the final stage I have to very carefully make the cutting and sewing. It's a very thrilling experience for me and my fashion team.

Great video, please do more

Indeed an interesting piece, but for people on a budget or wanting a good trench coat while having other important expenses preventing the purchase of such an expensive garment, Banana Republic had a model last year for $200 with all "trench coat" classic characteristics. It felt heavy and well built (surprisingly). I personally bought one from Fran and Oak (although not with all features) in navy blue (100% cotton) and wore it in England during winter and it worked like a charm (rain and cold). One must also be careful when wearing vintage pieces with buttons from a regiment (or other military pins) or royal emblems since it may be a "faux pas" when meeting veterans and serving members of those regiments. The same applies to blazers and ties. The military are very savvy in regimental colors and can spot one from afar.

Good point. I had a classic Swaine Adeney Brigg that I bought at the old Marshall Field in Chicago that I used for 30 years--until my wife exchanged it for a $1 model with broken ribs at a wedding. I still seethe when I think about that loss. By the way, in a few weeks I'll mark 50 years since the day I met the girl.

The new ones made in england are EXCELLENT. Somewhere between the 20's burberry lost its way. But with their last CEO ~2010 they regain quality and worth. So I do think new ones are good. Yeah they cost a LOT, but you get what you pay for.

I went to Uniqlo and I bought a khaki colored double breasted trench coat for $130. The fabric is water-repellent and it's 30% polyester and 70 cotton.

Brooks Brothers Suits, Ted Baker Suits and Hugo Boss Suits. Please make a video on any of them.

I bought a black trenchcoat from Coach Outlet. Made in Thailand, and one of the best clothing purchases I've ever made, has almost every hallmark feature of a trenchcoat sans the D-rings. And it keeps me dry in rain too! 😃 For less than $300, I think I'd buy a second or third trench coat from Coach before I ever think about shelling out the dough for a bloody Burberry. Over $2,500.00 for a single article of clothing? I'd have to be mad. Maybe if I do go mad and I'm in England I'll give it a go.

Perfect video!

I actually spoke to an ex-manager of Burberry who lost his job when they shipped everything abroad. He had a lot of negative things to say about the drop in manufacturing quality

“If you want a classic fit, go for relaxed and long” Absolutely correct. Burberry has lost itself in terms of authenticity of history; It’s all about modernization and fast fashion nowadays... recycling old Givenchy logos. Thanks Riccardo.
