Centennial windbreaker classic reproduction

The earliest prototype of Trench windbreaker is Burberry Tielocken, designed and patented by founder Thomas Burberry in 1912.

The novelty of this coat is that it does not need buttons, it can be fastened only by the belt, and it is made of a patent fabric called "gabadian".

This fabric was accompanied by explorers in the first polar expedition of mankind.

This coat was also an essential clothing for the army in the early twentieth Century.

Because of its excellent protection, comfortable and wear-resistant characteristics, Trench windbreaker is gradually welcomed by the public, and is favored by the royal family, movie stars and artists.

Now, Burberry's Trench windbreaker is popular all over the world. It can be seen everywhere from London to Paris, from New York to Shanghai.

Unique fabrics

The core element of Burberry Trench windbreaker is the unique Gabardine.

This kind of weatherproof special fabric was invented by Thomas Burberry in 1879, and successfully created a brand-new look of the coat.

The fabric is designed with three heavy waterproofing to prevent rainwater infiltration and keep the clothes dry. The voids in the fabric can ensure good air permeability.

Gabardine is able to withstand extremely high risk.

The weather has become the first choice for polar explorers, and the pilots who have been developing all over the world have completed the task of flying across the ages.

Before the invention of gabadian fabric, the fabric needs to be treated with wax or rubberized technology to achieve waterproofing. Therefore, it is very heavy and stiff, and it will make people uncomfortable to wear for a long time.

Gabadon is made of more than 100 interlaced yarns per centimeter woven through twill weave.

The tiny opening on the fabric ensures air circulation, while the tight structure prevents rainwater from soaking through the fabric.

Gabon, located in Burberry plant in England, is still using many traditional technologies which are different from other fabrics. Modern technology is also used to give it the best waterproofing effect.

From raw materials to finished products, every step in production is calculated accurately.

Choose the most delicate and longest cotton yarn to make the fabric surface smooth and firm.

The "double" weaving method of spinning two strands of cotton yarn into one yarn makes the fabric more tough and wearable.

The dyeing process of Burberry Gabon fabric is also strictly controlled and must be checked by factory experts.

After the final inspection, Gabon can enter the completion process, and then manually detect two times to ensure that the fabric is perfect.
