Burberry has unveiled two new outerwear designs as part of its Winter 2025 collection, continuing its long-standing heritage of British craft.
The Fitzrovia trench and Ellingham car coat build on more than 160 years of outerwear innovation, reinterpreting signature silhouettes with updated shapes. Both designs introduce added volume, wider sleeves and a fuller skirt, creating a refined fit-and-flare profile. A belted waist defines the figure, while raglan sleeves, a feature of some of the earliest Burberry trench coats, offer ease of movement and a softened shoulder line.
Each piece in the collection is produced in Yorkshire, England, where Burberry’s core rainwear selection is woven, tailored and hand-finished. The coats are crafted from cotton gabardine, the shower-resistant fabric invented by the brand’s founder Thomas Burberry, and lined with the house’s recognisable check pattern.
The introduction of the Fitzrovia trench and Ellingham car coat adds to Burberry’s established range of rainwear, which combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Among the heritage styles are the Kensington, which presents a more structured silhouette, and the Chelsea, which is cut with a slimmer fit. Both feature details such as leather-wrapped buckles and elements drawn from the brand’s archives.
For those seeking a bolder proportion, the Castleford trench offers a generous cut and brushed metal hardware, reflecting Burberry’s approach to evolving its classic designs for modern wearers.
Burberry’s trench coats remain a central part of the brand’s identity, with the fabric, construction and detailing continuing to reflect the standards set by its founder. The expansion of the collection through the Winter 2025 launch demonstrates the brand’s commitment to balancing tradition with new design directions.
The full rainwear offering, including the new Fitzrovia and Ellingham coats alongside the Kensington, Chelsea and Castleford styles, is available globally at selected Burberry stores and through the brand’s online platform.
