How does the Westminster fit compared with other Burberry trenches?

It is the roomiest and longest of Burberry's classic men's trenches, cut to layer over a suit jacket. The Kensington and Chelsea are trimmer and shorter.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It blocks wind and rain but has no lining insulation, so it suits spring, fall and mild winters. In hard cold you need a sweater or a liner underneath.

Is the cotton gabardine waterproof?

The tight gabardine weave repels rain and the storm flap and rain flap add protection, but it is water-resistant, not a sealed waterproof shell for heavy downpours.

What is included with the coat?

The coat comes with its matching belt, which threads through the waist loops. Buttons and cuff straps are attached.

How should I care for it?

It is 100% cotton and should be dry cleaned. Brush off dirt and hang it to dry away from direct heat after rain.

Is it worth it over a cheaper trench?

You pay for the gabardine, the heritage pattern and the finishing. A cheaper trench can look similar but usually uses thinner fabric and fewer functional details.
