Burberry has presented its new Gabardine Capsule, which celebrates 170 years of the British luxury house. The capsule pays homage to the revolutionary Gabardine fabric, invented in 1879 by Thomas Burberry, whose weather-resistant properties have defined the brand's outerwear heritage for almost 150 years. Worn by explorers and everyday adventurers alike, the trench coat remains central to Burberry's identity.
Burberry has launched its Gabardine Capsule to mark 170 years, celebrating its iconic weatherproof fabric invented by Thomas Burberry in 1879. The range reworks parkas, bombers and quilted jackets in brushed cotton and nylon gabardine, alongside knitwear and knitwear. A traditional label inspired by a 1993 campaign highlights the brand's rural roots.
Reimagining signature outerwear styles, the collection includes parkas, down-filled jackets, quilted silhouettes, Harringtons and bombers crafted from brushed cotton and nylon gabardine. These pieces are dyed in a capsule palette of basket beige and juniper green.
Layering pieces include thick-ribbed wool and cashmere knits and soft cotton-blend hoodies, joggers and T-shirts. Many styles are detailed with gabardine panels and trench-inspired elements, such as the brand's signature epaulets, Burberry said in a statement.
Reflecting Burberry's long-standing connection to the countryside and the outdoors, the capsule features a specially designed label inspired by an archival 1993 campaign that reads: “Burberrys emerged from country life.” The label appears sewn inside coats and jackets, appliquéd on sweater styles, and rendered as an intarsia motif on knitwear.
