00:00 Introduction
00:48 The Burberry Trench Coat
Thomas Burberry wasn’t quite the inventor of the trench coat but his name became synonymous and he popularized it and therefore, today, if people think about a trench coat, the first thing that comes to mind is a Burberry trench coat. The company has been making trench coats for over 150 years, they've been around since 1856 and it's just an iconic garment.
The classic Burberry double breasted trench coat today costs eighteen hundred and ninety five dollars in the Burberry website. Yes, you should definitely go with a double-breasted version because that's the original. The current heritage models they offer have the typical Novacek, they also added it underneath the collar which looks nice if you like it popped up, but also the lining is Novacek. Novacek is a name for a specific tartan that is usually associated with Burberry, although it's also imitated by other companies. Unlike in previous years, this trench coat is made in England as the original one and it is made out of a hundred percent cotton gabardine which is a fabric Thomas Burberry invented or at least became famous and well known for, and it's the ideal material you want for a trench coat.
The great thing about a modern Burberry trench coat is that it comes in four lengths as well as four fit styles. Now, the fit of all Burberry trench coats is slimmer than it used to be it's simply an adaptation to modern times which in my opinion, is not a bad thing because you want to trim look that flatters your body line. The relaxed fit is definitely the widest fit they offer and it's made for layering, so if you wear jackets underneath a lot, maybe a sweater or a cardigan, this is the fit you should get.
The classic fit is more tapered in the waist yet you can still wear a suit jacket underneath of it.
The slim fit is a slimmest fit they offer and it's not meant to be worn with something underneath but it creates a very nice if you shape.
Last but not least, there's a tailored fit. the tailored fit is somewhere between a classic fit and a slim fit. In terms of a length, the original trench coat was quite long and ranged from ankle length, all the way up to knee length. Today, Burberry’s lengths are much shorter.
04:47 Is It Worth It To Get The New Burberry Trench Coat?
Every gentleman should have a trench coat but it doesn't necessarily have to be Burberry. Fortunately, it won't go out of style and Burberry is associated with the original. Even though almost 1900 dollars for a cotton overcoat is quite a bit of money, you'd consider the cost per wear as this garment can be worn in every transitional season between fall winter, and spring summer.
On the other hand, if you want a flattering fit and you want to choose between the different lengths and the fits, and if you have the money, it’s definitely worth it. It's a good investment, it won't go out of style, and you won't regret your purchase.
05:51 Are Vintage Burberry Trench Coats Worth It?
Yes, absolutely! No matter your budget everyone can afford that one. You can find them at flea markets or maybe on eBay, just make sure you're able to return them. As always, it pays to know the measurements of the garment as well as your own so you'll find something that fits.
06:52 So At The End Of The Day, Is A Burberry Trench Coat Worth It?
New, it is not worth it if you want the original length and the original width and fullness however, if you want the modern fit and if you have the money, it's definitely worth it. if you go with a vintage trench coat, it is definitely worth it because it will never go out of style you can always wear it. the cost per wear is low and it’s just a classic staple that every man should have.

Fine line between gentleman and funeral director.
Dennis LePorte yeah, these aren't exactly versatile.
Yup! that was my thought when I saw him in the black one. I think navy would be a much more versatile color besides tan ones.
😂😂😂 that made me chuckle, thanks for the laugh.
Being an Indian, I had to Google search funeral director outfit and I agree with you.
Hype beast in the 1860's......
These clothes aren’t even from the 19th century...
@@nikogwaj1676 0:50 look at the date
Also listen to 1:05
Flex Seal™ okay fair enough, but his style isn’t really from the 19th century, that’s really all I was trying to say :)
In 1933-1945.
The black gives the Gestapo look.
joegarcia54 that's why I bought it... Though feels more SS-like
hugo boss style
He is german after all.. 😂🤙
Only thing about old WWII German clothing…it looked good!
Tip: if you're in school in the US, especially high school, don't get a trench coat.
Noxus Designs At least not a "Neo" styled one. 😕 High fashion fit would be acceptable, though.
Why? Please explain (non-us)
Ah yes tench coats,aka the school shooter coat
Because All the other kids with the pumped up kicks had to run faster than the bullet.
That's messed up
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
Thrift store fine for today. A vintage Burberry Trench Coat 44 long with all the bell and whistle including the wool liner and collar. no problems. $10
I found a full length Burberry once at goodwill for 40 bucks and it still haunts me to this day that i passed it up for a overcoat that i ended up getting rid of a month later
Excellent Mike..right place at the right time...good luck!!!!! Peace
@@kenneth7826 Yes it was. Last winter we had a freak heavy snow storm. I live in the south now but was raised in the north so was exited to have snow again. good foot of snow in a area where some people had never had more then a dusting. Any way I broke out the Burberry and hiked my way to the store.
@@mikequigleyorruneoform7096 love the story ..enjoy your weekend
✌
.
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.
Where you live where they have thousand dollar trench coats for 30 bucks?
In the UK. If you look hard enough you can thrift vintage coats for quite low prices. I’ve definitely seen it before
crazy how kids are making fun of you because it shows they have no idea about the prices of this stuff. they probably wear lacoste and think it's high end. they wouldn't bully you for your clothes if they found out the price tag. and keep wearing them, they're elegant and timeless.
love this video. I've been wanting a Burberry trench coat for a while but never wanted to shell out the money until I saw a good review. You are a lifesaver Raf, thanks.
To make your investment in Burberry trench count, always stick to the classic, original good-old-military length.
Or buy the one that fits you and you look *good* in, and don't pretend a coat is an "investment".......
@@user-iu1ru1qz7u yeah everything that doesnt pay you is a liability, not to say that you cant have some fun liabilities but know what is what
I would love to see more of this serie and I can't wait to see the next episode! I enjoyed this video and I found it to be very informative because you really go in depth with both the brand and the product.
G-eazy’s brother no one knew about 😂
William Burns 😂😂😂😷
Is it worth it: 1930s era Hugo boss trench coat
Is it worth it: Gestapo uniform
@@Nantosuelta"the nazis used it, so its gotta be good" - the shamwow guy
Ah those Hugo Boss trench coats, they look good especially when you are driving your Mercedes-Benz.
the 1935 hugoboss collection were the best and still is
@@tpp5151 I like the style of the trench coats but I wouldnt wear it because it was related to a very sad incident in the past
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.
Question: At THAT price point, are you paying for the material (cotton) and labor (England)..., or just the BRAND? :(
This style of video is perfect for your channel. I can't wait to see your reviews of other products!
Glad To Hear It
Always a quality video at the right time. Helped me a lot. Thanks.
I LOVE The Burberry Trench!!! Its my ultimate Fashion goal to get one.. Its the iconic piece that will never go out of style!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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 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 !!!
Is it bad that when he puts on the black trench coat, I instantly think nazi Kommandant?
bringoutthelegos no
nah ur just too sensitive. its good fashion yes? :)
Yeah, especially since it's Brtitsh... xD
Not really, our uniforms and attire was definitely in a class of it's own.
Considering Burberry is English, yes you're way off.
Yes, do more videos on whether some famous designer brands are worth it. Thanks!
This would definitely be worth expanding into a full series.
It's the only trench coat I own and I love it. I purchased it during a trip to London many years ago.
Great video really like the idea of this becoming a series =)
😂🤣
Omg i have beeen waiting for this exact video for so long..... thank u for doing it.
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...
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.
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
Yes, this is a good series. Keep it going.
Great series idea, especially for those like me who are not used to such big names that get them somehow "intimidated"
Yes! More is it worth it videoes, especially the gucci horse bit loafer. And maybe have some alternatives would be great. Love your videos!
I just bought The Chelsea trench coat (black) Burberry LONG (not extreme long) and whenever I wear it people stop and stare. I love it!
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
Really like this type of video. Wolud like to see more in the future
Thanks for the tip with Rudolf Beaufays!
Im gonna take a look there and see if i can get myself a coat!
Love this series!
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.
i bought one about 7-8 years ago, light green at a army navy surplus for 10 dlls second hand wich was maybe only worn once, and i really was impressed at the high quality trench coats they give out to soldiers.. its long beyond the knee but you can get that fixed easily.. 🙄
I'm not a man, but these videos are interesting and I learn so much!
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.
This was a fun video to watch AAAND you look really sharp in that black trench coat! Thanks for posting and have a great day! :-)
Thank you! :)
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'.
This will be a great series! I would like to see one about the baracuta g9 Harrington jacket...
I really like the idea of this becoming a regular series. "Is it worth it" videos always tend to be enjoyable to watch. I like your open opinions on different views as well.
Fantastic video format!
Excellent video. Many thanks!
great video! lots of great info!
Can you do a video on umbrellas? I think that they are a great accessory for a gentleman. I am a big fan of your videos.
A gentleman would never call someone a peasant. He isn't someone I'd advise looking up to.
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.
Lovely series! Can't wait to see more. I suggest you attack gucci next!
Great idea Sven, maybe some will avoid mistakes by your guidance
You look straight detective Gadget in the thumbnail

WE NEED MORE OF U IN ACTION WEARING YOUR TRENCH COAT IN HIGH WINDS!! LOOK IN DAPPER BROTHER KEEP UP!! U HAVE EPIC DAPPER ATTIRE!!!
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 idea for a fresh new series!
Good video, look forward to the series. Can you tell me what Chelseas you wore? Thx
Love the channel!
I really enjoy your channel I hope you make more videos. Maybe even one about the in store experience in 2024
Definitely do more is it worth it videos!
Great series idea!!
Great new series
I found a barely used vintage below the knee length burberry trenchcoat that fits me perfectly for under 30$ at a trift store here in Sweden ;)
I found one with the wool liner inside for € 10 in the Netherlands… great buy!! Do you wear it often?
i might need to go to sweden then jesus
Will you please do a video about which suit brands are worth the money? I understand that you are a big fan of Bespoke garments, however I can not afford one at this time.
I love this channel and all the content you provide, it has helped my style quite a bit!
Thank you for the consideration.
Please make a video on:- how to polish your shoes
Pumped up kicks
Roberto Karlos nah, those were leather.
Cave Jhonson r/whoooosh
@@samjones-pm4cl nah, he should be r/woosh-ing you cuz he be extending the joke.
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.
Very amusing! Well done!
I watched this because i got i burberry legit trench coat here in a retail store in china. They don't really know how expensive this is. This is legit i went to an appraiser. And Viola! Its authentic!
Off course it’s worth it, i love my Westminister trench.
Nice video, a "is it worth" video about a Mont blanc would be very nice too
Raphael, could you please make a video on morning dress code? Also I am interested in knowing why 50-80 years ago suit fabrics usually were really heavy. Was it due to fabrication limitations or the world was just colder?
Thank goodness for people like this man or I would be clueless about clothes and dress like a dork.
thank you for sharing. i've been thinking of getting my first real trench coat. this is the most helpful video i've yet seen.
I like these types of videos and man i want one
Mine is a simple black single breasted raincoat….over 20 years old and still perfect.
Burberry was issued to Royal Canadian sailors in WW2.
Brooks Brothers Suits, Ted Baker Suits and Hugo Boss Suits. Please make a video on any of them.
Thank you for pronouncing Burberry correctly.
Love it. Can we do does it worth it for Ed Maier, Armani, and Suit Supply?
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.
One of my favourite videos. Really great. Question please- do trench coats go with boots or even black 1640 Dr Martens, I have the classic camel colour long Burberry. ?
When measuring for a coat, do you get one about two sizes bigger to accommodate a jacket or do you measure to to fit without a jacket?
Nice video! Can you please do one on gloverall duffle coats!?
Just got a dark navy 1980s waxed one for £90 second hand. Can't wait for it to arrive! :-)
I have to go to Rudolf Beaufays now, thanks. I almost forgot about that place.
I like your Videos :) A Video about Umbrellas in my opinion would be interesting too.
Both the bitloafers and the pen please! Especially the guccis!
Great video, please do more
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 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
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.
I like the Montblanc and Gucci idea. Maybe also consider Persol sunglasses, Zegna suits, Louis Vuitton and Goyard chests and luggage, waxed cotton Barbour jackets, Tod's driving shoes, Hermes leather, Berluti leather, Bottega Veneta Intrecciato leather, Loro Piana vicuna, Ralph Lauren cashmere sweaters, J. Press Shaggy Dog sweaters, Burberry scarves, Rolex and Patek Philippe watches, and Moncler down jackets
So, aquascutum vs Burberry? Which should I go with?
I’ve been looking to get a nice vintage Burberry trench coat, I have a few I mind but will have to wait a while!
Perfect video!
Great Video, would like to see more like it.
Yes, but how do they compare to the "Executive"?
where can we get the liner for nowadays Burberry Heritage series?
For the more high end flasher
Love this. Looking forward to the next one.
