Burberry Men's Coats

The Burberry men's coat traces directly back to the gabardine that Thomas Burberry patented in 1879 — a tightly woven cotton, weatherproofed before weaving, breathable yet resistant to rain and wind. The trench coat itself was born in the trenches of the First World War: epaulettes for rank insignia, D-rings on the belt for grenades and a water bottle, storm flap, gun flap, back pleat for movement. A century later, those details are still the authenticity markers of a real Burberry trench.

JoliCloset lists 162 pre-owned Burberry men's coats authenticated by our experts, starting around €80 for the most accessible pieces and climbing to several thousand euros for cashmere blends and limited editions. The selection spans the Heritage trench fits — Kensington (long, generous, the classic), Chelsea (slimmer, shorter), Westminster (the longest), Wiltshire (mid-length, single-breasted) — alongside car coats, duffle coats, wool peacoats and quilted parkas.

How to spot an authentic Burberry trench

The signature giveaway is the printed lining in the House Check — beige, red, black and white, unveiled in 1924. Recent pieces also carry the Equestrian Knight Design logo restored by Daniel Lee from 2023 onward, plus the asymmetric storm flap, buttoned epaulettes and matching gabardine belt with brass buckle. For provenance, check the inside label ("Burberrys" with an S before 1999, "Burberry London" through the 2010s, plain "Burberry" since the 2018 rebrand) and the colour code stitched into the inner pocket.

Which material is right for you?

Cotton gabardine is the house DNA: water-repellent, structured, perfect for spring and autumn. Versions in Melton wool or cashmere blends handle harsher winters — Westminster and Sandringham fits often appear in these heavier cloths. Shearling, leather and technical nylons turn up on car coats and on the Daniel Lee runway pieces. On the resale market, gabardine ages remarkably well once re-proofed, while wool develops a patina collectors actively look for.

Prices and pre-owned value

A new Heritage Kensington trench retails north of €2,290 and a cashmere Westminster passes €4,000. On JoliCloset, the same fits in very good condition typically sit between €400 and €1,200 — a 50% to 70% saving on the boutique price. Archive pieces (Christopher Bailey era, early Daniel Lee, the reintroduced Vintage Check) actually appreciate year on year.
