From a simple raincoat to a global brand, Burberry has become one of the world's most successful luxury brands today for men, women, and children, encompassing not only outerwear, but clothing, fragrances, accessories and items for the home. Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, he began his distinguished retail career when he was only 21. After expanding the business and taking on his two sons, he built his own mills to produce his specialized piece goods and clothing. After developing a sturdy, waterproof fabric called gabardine in 1879, he created the first Burberry raincoat at the turn of the century. It became regulation style in 1914, during the First World War, due to its functional D-rings, epaulettes and straps, and was therefore named The Trench Coat. The famous Burberry signature check pattern, done in camel, black, and red, was first introduced in 1924 as a lining for rainwear. Today it has become an icon, one of the most well known signatures in the world. Newly updated, the check has been done in various color renditions and is found on a variety of items for men including scarves, umbrellas, slacks, and of course, the ever-popular raincoats.Superb tailoring and attention to detail, plus innovative new technical fabric developments, continue to keep the tradition not only alive, but thriving.
