The Chelsea trench coat in cotton gabardine is our slimmest fit, with a fashion silhouette and cinched waist. Invented by Thomas Burberry in 1879, cotton gabardine is a tightly woven, weatherproof fabric that protects against the elements. A classic for all seasons and occasions, the trench can be worn belted for a close fit or open and relaxed over dresses and denim. Inspired by the Burberry Heritage Archive, the coat features the iconic check undercollar.
