"Burberrys" 80s-90s Belted Tweed Check Coat

Founded in 1856, Burberry is a brand supported by its philosophy of functional clothing exemplified by trench coats and a design that incorporates the quintessential British elegance into everyday wear. Among these, the era marked by the Burberrys label combines high-level craftsmanship and practicality, with a charm that even refines the wearer's manner, and today we introduce a piece that condenses this dense British classic atmosphere.

This exquisite piece features a three-dimensional brown-toned tweed check pattern, with a design that allows the silhouette to be refined with a matching fabric belt.

The outer fabric, mainly wool, has a brushed texture that softly catches light, preventing the pattern from appearing too strong and blending into a sense of depth. The collar has a moderate roundness, avoiding stiffness around the neck, and the front's clean overlapping design creates a vertical line, giving the overall look a balanced, neat appearance just by wearing it.

The waist features a matching fabric belt that, when loosely tied, creates a relaxed silhouette, and tightening it sharpens the check pattern, allowing you to change the impression of the same coat. The pockets are naturally positioned at the waist, and the cuffs have tabs and buttons, adding a classic nuance while maintaining a tidy look at the hands. The lining is cupro, which offers smoothness and reduces static electricity, making it easy to put on and take off even with winter layering.

As an added value unique to this piece, you can see a tag with the old Burberrys logo, the REGD marking, and a large knight emblem, which differs from the markings seen from the late 1990s onward, providing a solid basis for dating it to the late 1980s to early 1990s.

Furthermore, with the manufacturer code C TK83, it is understood to be domestically licensed production by Sanyo Shokai, and the pattern design tailored to Japanese body types along with careful sewing can be expected, making it less likely to have the worn-in look typical of vintage items. The material, blending a small amount of nylon with wool, maintains the texture of tweed while ensuring durability against wear, and its high level of finish as a luxury meant for everyday wear is a characteristic value of Japan vintage from this era.

In daily life, even on days with lots of city travel or evenings with dinner plans, checks elevate the warmth of your outfit, and just adding a check piece to a simple look creates a refined atmosphere. Since the belt allows you to adjust the silhouette, tightening lightly for a neat appearance or loosening to include air for a relaxed look, it naturally retains a calm, British vibe.

Styling-wise, pairing a minimal shirt with neat slacks and defining the silhouette with a belt highlights the elegance of the check pattern and conveys the charm of classic style straightforwardly. As another option, layering over a dress or long skirt with a relaxed drape, and finishing with leather shoes, softens the tweed's texture while maintaining a mode-inspired overall sharpness.

Take this opportunity.
