Is It Worth It? - The Burberry Trench Coat - Review by Gentleman's Gazette

About this video

The Gazette team evaluates whether a Burberry trench coat is worth purchasing at its current $1,895 price point, examining the modern heritage model’s construction, fit options, and materials. They argue that while new Burberry trench coats offer quality 100% cotton gabardine and attractive modern fits, they fall short of the original length and fullness, but recommend vintage Burberry trench coats as an excellent alternative for any budget.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that every gentleman should own a trench coat, though it doesn’t necessarily have to be from Burberry, and recommends starting with camel or khaki colors for authenticity
• The Gazette team recommends prioritizing 100% cotton gabardine made in England over models with polyester blends, and notes that modern Burberry trench coats have slimmer fits than historical versions
• The Gazette team suggests vintage Burberry trench coats ranging from $100-$400 are excellent value investments that won’t go out of style, offering the original proportions and length at a fraction of the cost
