"Burberrys" 80s-90s Gunclub Checked Belted Robe Coat

Since its founding in 1856, Burberrys has continued to propose attire that balances British elegance and practicality, becoming a symbol of its era in outerwear. Here, we introduce a coat featuring a beautifully classic pattern.

The Gankuru check pattern in shades of brown creates a deep, textured expression, and the wool’s brushed feel softly absorbs light, giving it a warm, elegant mood while maintaining a neat appearance. This piece exudes both sophistication and warmth.

First, the eye-catching feature is the shawl collar that envelops the front, creating a presence without relying on buttons by using fabric layering and drape. When worn, the shoulder line naturally falls, creating an effortless, mature air. Additionally, a matching belt at the waist allows for a refined or relaxed silhouette depending on how it is tied, making it attractive to enjoy a look that is not just classic but also tailored to current moods.

The sleeve design prioritizes ease of movement, with a beautiful balance that does not strongly emphasize the body’s lines but maintains a three-dimensional silhouette when worn. The pattern pitch, combined with this, prevents the outline from blurring even from a distance, adding to its quality. The front patch pockets are not only practical but also serve as shadow catchers when tied with a belt, adding rhythm to the check pattern’s expression in a stylish way.

The lining is made of 100% cupro, ensuring smooth wear through easy sleeve passage and comfortable fit as heavy clothing. Combined with the warmth of the 100% wool outer fabric, it is designed to minimize stress even in layered autumn and winter outfits. This combination of materials reflects careful craftsmanship typical of authentic domestic licensed products of that era, and the more you wear it daily, the more noticeable the difference becomes.

The reason why the estimated era is late 1980s to early 1990s is highly credible. The logo on the tag being Burberrys corresponds to designs before 1999, and the notation D-TK180 is known as a manufacturer code of Sanyo Shokai, indicating it was made during the period of Japan's domestic official licensing. Furthermore, the Gankuru check pattern itself aligns well with the British style popular at the time. The presence of material labels and inspection stamps also clearly connect the background and specifications, providing reassurance.

This coat is not a typical trench but a type that elevates the act of wearing it into a mark of elegance. It is suitable for anyone regardless of occupation or gender, especially for those who want to add quiet sophistication to their attire. It is also easy to incorporate into a wardrobe as a tool to lift your mood every time you go out, which is an important value for MOOD.

As a styling, using well-tailored slacks and minimal shirts to highlight the collar overlap creates a modern look while maintaining a British elegance. When layering with knitwear, choosing ones with subtle knitting textures preserves the depth of the check pattern beautifully. Footwear can be either leather shoes for a sharp look or boots for a long coat style, resulting in a genderless, poised mood. This piece naturally transitions from everyday wear to slightly formal occasions.
