'-SPECIAL- "Burberrys" 90's Collar switching two-tone trench coat

There is a stain on the left cuff

We would like to introduce a special piece from BURBERRYS, which is known for its classic and traditional style and is a supplier to the British Royal Family.

This exceptional BURBERRYS wool trench coat is designed with the brown color of different materials as the starting point, bringing British classics into a modern style.

The fact that it uses the old logo with the brand name "Burberrys" rather than the current "BURBERRY" is a sure clue that it was manufactured before 1999. In addition, the navy blue "OF LONDON" tag and the quality tag with the material information in multiple languages ​​make it natural to consider it an item from the 1990s, when global distribution was well established.

The design of this piece lies in its aesthetic of "reducing and trimming" trench coat symbols rather than "adding" them. Elements that were originally functional, such as gun flaps, epaulettes, and cuff straps, are not overly assertive but are instead arranged to serve as a surface structure and eye guide, so even if you follow the details, it doesn't get cluttered and the overall appearance is quietly refined. In particular, the double-breasted front has buttons positioned to easily draw the eye vertically, and the "straight line structure" from the chest to the hem keeps the impression of the long length, which can often be vague, neat and tidy.

The fact that the material is 100% wool also strongly supports this design concept. Unlike cotton gabardine, which creates a stiff edge, the characteristic drape of wool creates a smooth, one-piece surface from the shoulders to the hem, so the moment you move, your silhouette emerges with "shadows, not lines." The back yoke goes beyond its original purpose of keeping out the wind; it functions as a structural layer, with the fabric swaying slightly later as you walk, creating a sense of depth from behind, a quality that is truly impressive.

What makes this particular piece special is the collar's contrasting materials and color scheme. The brown brushed texture against the beige body creates warmth and density around the face, elevating the visual center of gravity. As a result, the long length doesn't feel sluggish, and the upper body appears leaner. This isn't decorative, but rather a design to balance proportions. Furthermore, the brushed collar absorbs light, while the wool on the body softly reflects it, creating a gradation of textures within the same muted tone, dramatically increasing the amount of information when viewed up close. While these details evoke "country" or "hunting" styles, they avoid earthiness here, creating an urban sophistication that I feel is a "classic approach" that echoes Dior's signature elegance.

The belt is also not to be overlooked. When tied, it creates tension at the waist, and the drape converges inward rather than escaping outward, creating a deeper three-dimensional effect. Conversely, when left hanging, the vertical line of the belt reinforces the vertical direction of the front, and the swaying length adds a touch of dressiness. Either way is correct, and the way it's worn is itself part of the design, which is what makes vintage so elegant.

The styling will be more complete if you keep the surface neatly aligned with the shirt and wool slacks, and let the contrast in the texture of the coat and collar take center stage. Another idea is to pair a minimalist knit with a neat long skirt or straight pants, and tie the belt loosely, which will give you a modern feel while still retaining the classic symbols.

Please take this opportunity.
