The wool-blend gabardine of Burberry’s ‘Hylton’ trench coat has a weighty drape that holds the double-breasted front and gun flap in crisp lines. A belt cinches the waist above a hem that falls below the knee, while the lining reveals the house check, first introduced inside the label’s trench coats in the 1920s.

96% wool, 4% elastane

The Burberry name is inseparable from the gabardine trench coat - a design so enduring that it's still, simply, the best of its kind. Today, its considered approach to British heritage means outerwear for women and men is just part of a collection that spans red carpet dresses to the iconic Burberry check scarf and luxury bags.

A go-to for style icons from Charlotte Gainsbourg to Alexa Chung, when we shrug on a trench we feel instantly more pulled-together. From 2018's patent update to more classic renditions, It’s a shortcut to chic, rain-or-shine.
