The classic trench coat NEVER went out of style. I bought my Burberry’s in Bermuda, at Trimingham’s, in 1976...have worn it constantly for 40 years..had it cleaned and scotch guarded a few times...looks great, and I still fit it perfectly...I think back then I paid about $200..now it’s over $1000.

I bought my first Burberry trenchcoat in 1987. Wore it until 2007. Had it cleaned and treated every year or so. Sold it on eBay because I lost weight and needed a smaller size. Got $350 for it. Bought another that year and have worn it now for 8 winters.

That sucker is nice.

I have one of these in black that I have been wearing for over 20 years and before that it belonged to my hubby’s aunt. Lol

Agreed; I bought my duster (not a trench coat but the same idea) back in 72. It’s for riding and general all around cold, wet weather work. Have had the canvas repaired several times, replaced the fleece once , but it is still a great cold, wet weather coat.
