Vintage Burberry
British Luxury Since 1856 · Founded 1856 · Hampshire, England
Founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856 in Hampshire, England, Burberry invented gabardine fabric and the iconic trench coat worn by British military officers in WWI. The distinctive nova check pattern became a symbol of British luxury. Vintage Burberry pieces, especially Made in England items, are highly collectible.
How to Spot Authentic Vintage Burberry
Reproductions and mislabeled pieces are common. These are the markers that separate genuine vintage Burberry from fakes and modern items:
- 'Made in England' label (most valuable vintage)
- Authentic nova check lining (beige, black, red, white)
- Horn buttons on classic trench coats
- 'Burberrys' (with 's') indicates pre-1999 vintage
Vintage Burberry Sizing
Vintage Burberry trench coats run true to UK sizing but are cut roomy for layering. Measure chest and shoulders carefully. The classic trench should fit over a suit jacket. Japanese market pieces run smaller.
