INTRODUCTION
"The Story of the Burberry Trench" by Caroline Young is a richly illustrated guide to one of fashion’s most enduring icons: the Burberry trench coat. Launched in 1912 by Burberry, the trench coat has evolved from practical outerwear designed for military use into a symbol of British heritage style. Young traces this transformation through its origins, key design features, and the ways in which the trench has been adapted across styles and contexts.
The book covers the coat’s classic originals—detailing its signature elements such as storm flaps, epaulettes, belted waist, and distinctive collar—as well as special editions and seasonal adaptations. It also explores how the trench jacket has been represented cinematographically and culturally, becoming more than just a garment but a status symbol and fashion staple. Young discusses craftsmanship, materials, and the skill involved in authentic Burberry fabrication.
Another important part of the book is its attention to the preloved market: tips on authenticating Burberry trenches, recognizing genuine features, and understanding how condition, fabric, and provenance affect value. Whether for someone considering buying new or secondhand, "The Story of the Burberry Trench" serves as both style inspiration and reference.
