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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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 !!!
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.
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.
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.
I don't know. I do collect coats but in my humble opinion Belstaff is better. It's more my cup of tea. Overall however I do think that long coats are superior to those wimpy pea coat jackets. I have even tested my hypothesis by means of a social experiment. The results were conclusive; the longer the coat, the more authoritative you look. People treated me better when I wore my my long overcoats. I haven't worn shorter coats in years because of it.
“If you want a classic fit, go for relaxed and long” Absolutely correct. Burberry has lost itself in terms of authenticity of history; It’s all about modernization and fast fashion nowadays... recycling old Givenchy logos. Thanks Riccardo.
Honestly, if you're a high schooler a better bet is getting a full length overcoat, i own two trench coats ( a green army one from the 70s, and a tan one from the 60s ) but i only wear them in the rain. An overcoat may give you an older look but its a better bet because its classier, not that a proper trench coat isn't.
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.. 🙄
Just bought a vintage 100% cotton trench off eBay. Because of the age, the buckles are pretty worn. Any idea where to get good replacements?? Thank you!
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
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?
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.
I got a pre 1999 Burberrys' trench coat for an absolute steal on eBay(150 CAD), but the belt was missing. I contacted Burberry and they said I'd have to go to a Burberry retail location and buy on for 58 USD, if they can even find one that matches the colour. What do you recommend I do. Would it be cheaper to buy one, find one at a thrift store or to have one made by a tailor? Thanks.
Go to Burberry and get the belt. Consider it a total part of your cost, which is still quite worthwhile. Belts are really actually a pain to make and a tailor will charge you much more. Trust me: I had a Richard Tyler trench coat--one of a kind--with a belt that got stuck in door and flapped in the wind on a highway for an hour. The end was destroyed. I had a tailor cut and refinish the belt (the fabric was one of a kind, so no remake for me) but finding the tailor and enduring that errand was 2 weeks of my life I'll never get back.
No, for the Trench Coat made in England, the complete coat, belt, wrist straps and epaulets are made from the same cloth. The additional parts are made in the same factory as the Made in England trench coats. The coats that are outsourced, Burberry does not offer "parts" for those. Don't loose the belts, epaulets and wrist straps.
Jim Ferdinando If you can't get an exact match for the fabric, maybe see if they can do a belt in the Burberry check and make it a fashion statement. That way it's still true to the brand, but makes the mismatch look intentional.
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
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!
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. ?
Got a knee long trench coat from a vintage internet market from Hardy Amies. Followed the guide from this channel and got myself this stunning garment which I now frequently wear. As for my purchase this trench coat seems to be from the 80s and lacks only very few features from the original Burberry one. First and most obvious one is the beige color, second - the lack of D-rings on the belt, third - the lining is not an additional piece but is integrated in the upper half of the garment and is non removable. There are however a couple of buttons on the inner side so I assume you can still install a lining there for colder temperatures. I will definitely look out for a fitting one. As for the price It came to Germany for about 130€ including the insane 26€ tax price! The coat itself on the platform costed only 87€, the rest wend for shipping and tax! But it is worth every cent to me!
Will you review the Trench London Trench coat? They look very cool and stylish, they are also redirecting the market for more eco-friendly packaging and delivery. But I dont want to pay 500.00 for a 25.00 coat. Also, I am curious how it compares to Burberry
I am a big fan of your channel. I have a question about a chin strap. My Burberry trench coat has a chin strap of this type 5:43. Would you please show me how to use it?
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.
NOVA Check. Although they all say Made in England they were all made (until 10 years ago) in the Burberry factory in the Rhondda Valley in Wales. England was a generic term for the whole of the UK and does not refer to the specific country of England. Nearly all Burberry garments are now made in Eastern Europe. They have sold tradition for profit. I'd suggest that you find a good used one on Ebay for around £50.
I think he was suggesting that in which to go for the more "Original Burberry" look. As that would better reflect the fit and placement they used to have. Alas, I'm sure there's a reason they changed all of that, as you have so alluded to.
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.
I just picked up a vintage Burberry's car coat in 51% cotton, for the price I was not going to turn it away. I could not afford it otherwise. I do want a darker, maybe Navy trench coat for reasons stated but may go London Fog which is common in Canada as they are made here.
Raphael, I asked on the boutonniere video a question, but didn't get an answer so I'll ask again here. I bought an Orchid boutonniere from your site. In the video, most of the jackets, suits are with large lapels, but my suit is with slim lapels, does it still work with slim lapel suit? Also, does the Orchid boutonniere work with a dark charcoal suit, and can you place a boutonniere on a suit or not? Thanks
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.
A bit of a silly question with regards to replacing buttons and buckles are they Burberry’s own buttons & buckles? Can I just take it to a tailor who will replace them with generic types.
Why do you wear such loose and ill-fitting pants? They make you look huge. Your style is generally on point in every aspect except for you pants! I always seem to think your pants look way too big and I tend to let it slide because I figure you know what you're doing since you're so fashionable, but I don't know, like those corduroy ones you had on just looked oversized and awful. Any explanation or reasoning for this? Regards.
Current fashions dictate very slim, close-fitting trousers to be in vogue. Sven's trousers seem to be slim, leaning towards slightly relaxed. It isn't at all in bad taste, just old-fashioned. Hemming of trouser bottoms is only highly recommended if you're of short stature, so you're pretty safe if you're around 6ft like Sven.
I think the same about his pants too. Only thing about his style that I am not into. I am more into slim and straight fit. Otherwise! Very well dressed guy. Love his vids
I think he said once that he has thighs that are bigger than most guys his frame. I can sympathize, as not only are my thighs like that but also my calves (For some reason, they're rather muscled), so I used to end up getting suits where the pants actually fit me a little bit like that as well. Case in point, when it comes to jeans, regular fit jeans on me look like skinny jeans, so I usually have to go with a relaxed or loose fit in the same waist/inseam size, just so they'll look and feel normal. Which really sucks on account that there's only a couple of brands who actually have the decent fit on the thighs AND the calves as well, in one pair of jeans.

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

The lining in sleeves are almost always viscose, or something similar, as it allows for a frictionless putting on/taking off.

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.
Really like this type of video. Wolud like to see more in the future
NOVA Check.
Although they all say Made in England they were all made (until 10 years ago) in the Burberry factory in the Rhondda Valley in Wales. England was a generic term for the whole of the UK and does not refer to the specific country of England.
Nearly all Burberry garments are now made in Eastern Europe. They have sold tradition for profit. I'd suggest that you find a good used one on Ebay for around £50.
Relaxed fit, extra long? Yeahhhh how about no, unless you want to look like you're borrowing your daddy's expensive clothes.
Yeah, my peacoat is long enough.
mamba109 why? It's an overcoat, not a peacoat.
mamba109 It is the original trench coat. Didn’t say it’s the modernest fit. It is Original fit
I think he was suggesting that in which to go for the more "Original Burberry" look. As that would better reflect the fit and placement they used to have. Alas, I'm sure there's a reason they changed all of that, as you have so alluded to.
Yes, this is a good series. Keep it going.
Nice video, a "is it worth" video about a Mont blanc would be very nice too
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.
Great idea Sven, maybe some will avoid mistakes by your guidance
But does it keep you warm during these NY winters?
Omg i have beeen waiting for this exact video for so long..... thank u for doing it.
Definitely do more is it worth it videos!
Love it. Can we do does it worth it for Ed Maier, Armani, and Suit Supply?
I just picked up a vintage Burberry's car coat in 51% cotton, for the price I was not going to turn it away. I could not afford it otherwise. I do want a darker, maybe Navy trench coat for reasons stated but may go London Fog which is common in Canada as they are made here.
Fine line between gentleman and flasher
Nice video! Can you please do one on gloverall duffle coats!?
Great idea for a fresh new series!
Raphael, I asked on the boutonniere video a question, but didn't get an answer so I'll ask again here.
I bought an Orchid boutonniere from your site. In the video, most of the jackets, suits are with large lapels, but my suit is with slim lapels, does it still work with slim lapel suit?
Also, does the Orchid boutonniere work with a dark charcoal suit, and can you place a boutonniere on a suit or not?
Thanks
Ruven Pinkhasov go for it
Yes, yes, and yes to all three.
I would say that boutonnieres are more for events than a suit which is normally for work. If it is for an event, however, I would say go for it.
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!!!
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.
Inspector Gadget is back baby!!
Yes! More is it worth it videoes, especially the gucci horse bit loafer. And maybe have some alternatives would be great. Love your videos!
Thanks for the tip with Rudolf Beaufays!
Im gonna take a look there and see if i can get myself a coat!
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?
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!
A bit of a silly question with regards to replacing buttons and buckles are they Burberry’s own buttons & buckles? Can I just take it to a tailor who will replace them with generic types.
Why do you wear such loose and ill-fitting pants? They make you look huge. Your style is generally on point in every aspect except for you pants! I always seem to think your pants look way too big and I tend to let it slide because I figure you know what you're doing since you're so fashionable, but I don't know, like those corduroy ones you had on just looked oversized and awful. Any explanation or reasoning for this? Regards.
Current fashions dictate very slim, close-fitting trousers to be in vogue. Sven's trousers seem to be slim, leaning towards slightly relaxed. It isn't at all in bad taste, just old-fashioned. Hemming of trouser bottoms is only highly recommended if you're of short stature, so you're pretty safe if you're around 6ft like Sven.
I have no interest or personal comfort in wearing pants as tight as a woman's.
I think the same about his pants too. Only thing about his style that I am not into. I am more into slim and straight fit. Otherwise! Very well dressed guy. Love his vids
I think he said once that he has thighs that are bigger than most guys his frame. I can sympathize, as not only are my thighs like that but also my calves (For some reason, they're rather muscled), so I used to end up getting suits where the pants actually fit me a little bit like that as well. Case in point, when it comes to jeans, regular fit jeans on me look like skinny jeans, so I usually have to go with a relaxed or loose fit in the same waist/inseam size, just so they'll look and feel normal. Which really sucks on account that there's only a couple of brands who actually have the decent fit on the thighs AND the calves as well, in one pair of jeans.
Fashion lately has accepted wide trousers and more straight fits
