Thomas Burberry revolutionised outerwear when he invented the weatherproof fabric gabardine in 1879, leading to the creation of the hard-wearing raincoat that protected soldiers during the First World War.

While the iconic Burberry trench we know today has evolved to become a sophisticated staple for cosmopolitan men and women about town, the Westminster extra-long trench coat still features signature design details inspired by the original trench coat from the Burberry archives, including a gun flap at the chest and a storm shield on the upper back.

Made in England, the relaxed fit of this trench lends itself to being worn as an extra layer – belted over tailoring or open over denim – and every aspect of the coat has been considered to provide protection from the elements, whatever the weather throws at you.
