Burberry Prorsum brogue leather trench coat...in malachite





In case you like to stand out in a crowd. In this jacket, that would be just fine.

Even better moving: 


  • Bonded glove leather trench coat with brogue embellishment
  • Serrated and perforated leather trim collar and seams are handwoven with raffia
  • Structured heat-sealed leather, tapered waist and sleeves enhance the slim silhouette
  • Epaulets, gun flaps, button pockets
  • Horn buttons engraved with the Burberry Prorsum logo
Wear it well.

I admit it, I really am fascinated by Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge...and I think she loves trench coats, too :-)

Here she is in a Burberry coat with flared hem




She definitely wears it well.

This Burberry Prorsum trench was one that I initially passed over, but as I looked at the details, I went back and changed my mind:

The color is beautiful, and the details...well, see for yourself

Burberry London leather-sleeved trench coat

Oh, Burberry...

I really should have started this blog with a Burberry trench, as that is where my own obsession started. Don't think that you won't be seeing many a Burberry coat here. Here's the coat that I most recently couldn't do without:

Leather-sleeved Burberry trench

The details on this coat will blow you away.
  • Cotton gabardine trench coat with soft leather sleeves
  • Leather epaulets, gun flap, buttoned rain shield, leather trim belt
  • Throat latch, hook-and-eye collar, slant pockets, central back vent
At some point, we are going to have to talk specifics: fabrics (cotton gabardine, cotton sateen, etc.), trench coat parts (epaulettes, flaps, etc.), and the difference Burberry lines (Prorsum, London, Brit, & Sport). But not right now...

Wear it well.

Seriously, somebody needs to stop me. I saw this one during a Marc Jacobs trunk show earlier in February, and knew that it should be part of my collection. Collection? Did I just say collection? I think I did. This picture does not do the coat justice...

On the Internet, everybody knows you are obsessed...with trench coats. There, I said it. And to celebrate Valentine's Day (not that I would want to do such a thing), here is one of my favorite trenches I've seen in the past few months:

YSL trench

This asymmetrical double-breasted cotton trench coat with cutaway hem (I prefer to call it a tulip-shaped hem, but I am not versed in the lingo) has a belted waist, epaulets, buckles at cuff, side slash pockets and gold tone hardware. I prefer it in red, but it is available in navy, should you desire a less attention-grabbing color. Why on earth you would want such a thing, I couldn't guess.

Wear it well. -kxo
