Certain brands transcend time and fashion. Burberry is one such brand and has become a name synonomous with craftsmanship and functional British design.

Going strong since the 1800s, Burberry's famous trench coats and checked lining are as much a part of classic British style and aspiration as Savile Row, Harris Tweed or Barbour's country wax jackets. Originally designed for soldiers during WW1, the name 'trench coat' takes its name from the trenches where they would be worn to protect soldiers from the hostile elements and inclement weather. You'll still find d-rings on the coats' belts to hang grenades on. The house of Burberry is indeed steeped in grand tradition.

The latest Burberry London menswear collection continues with Burberry's signature check design used in its coat linings, shirts and even its wallets, bags and cufflinks. The trenchcoats or 'macs' as they're sometimes called are still present of course, and are an important sartorial investment that all men with a taste for the fine art of tailoring must eventually make, with Burberry customers often famously giving the coats to their children.

Also well worth exploring is the BURBERRY PRORSUM range, its leading men's catwalk collection, where the items will happily sit aside the likes of your wardrobe's Gucci and Prada clothing items.

The Burberry House divides its different menswear lines into three different labels.

BURBERRY LONDON - the classic 200 year old brand, where you will find the core raincoat collections in beige, navy and black each season, Burberry checked scarfs and house checked shirts.

BURBERRY PRORSUM - the aforementioned directional label which creates and inspires international menswear looks, always drawing on the brand's heritage and extensive archives.

BURBERRY BRIT - the younger diffusion line, with an eye for 'Brit' style, or should that be London street style - washed fabrics, faded colours and supple leathers form the basis of the men's clothing collection and its components.
