How is Burberry marking its 170th anniversary?
Burberry celebrates 170 years as a British luxury house with a refreshed summer raincoat collection. The update offers weather protection in warmer climates with the lightest signature fabric, while remaining suitable for humid or warm conditions. The lightweight gabardine raincoats are available in various styles.
What is the new Burberry tropical gabardine fabric?
Thomas Burberry invented gabardine in 1879 as a breathable, water-resistant fabric. Tropical gabardine continues this legacy with skilled artisans weaving shower-resistant cotton at the Burberry Mill in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Furthermore, the fabric’s technical construction enhances air circulation, keeping the wearer dry in the rain while remaining lightweight. Therefore, each coat features archive-beige Burberry Check lining and buttons made from 90 per cent bio-based resin.

Which men’s trench coats are in the collection?
The men’s Burberry Gabardine Raincoats collection features three primary trench coat silhouettes. Each model offers a different fit to suit personal preferences for layering over clothing.
The Kensington Heritage Trench Coat features classic proportions and a regular fit. It uses structured shoulders and set-in sleeves to create a tailored appearance. This design provides more room in the chest for layering over suits. Burberry offers this style in stone beige and graphite grey for AED 9,500.
Similarly, the Waterloo Heritage Trench Coat provides a regular fit with a long length. It uses raglan sleeves and soft, curved shoulders to allow for fluid movement. This style captures the construction of the earliest Burberry trench coats. It is available in stone beige or graphite grey for AED 9,500.
However, the Fitzrovia Trench Coat offers a more contemporary silhouette. It features a relaxed A-line cut with wider sleeves and a fuller skirt. This piece draws inspiration from archival designs from the 1980s. Customers can purchase this model in stone beige or graphite grey for AED 12,500.

What other raincoat styles can men choose?
For a more minimalist or casual aesthetic, the Burberry Gabardine Raincoats collection includes streamlined silhouettes. These pieces use the same lightweight fabric and seasonal colour palette.
The Camden Heritage Car Coat features a single-breasted design with a concealed button front. It provides a clean, sharp look with a regular fit and raglan shoulders. Moreover, the range includes a Long Camden Heritage Car Coat for those seeking extra coverage. Both versions come in stone beige and graphite grey, starting at AED 7,900.
In contrast, the Bloomsbury Jacket is Burberry’s version of the classic Harrington jacket. It offers a relaxed, cropped fit for versatile summer wear. This jacket is available in stone beige and graphite grey for AED 7,500.
The tropical gabardine collection is available at Burberry stores worldwide and on the official website.
