Is this the long Burberry trench or a shorter one?

It is the shorter cut, about 30 inches from shoulder to hem, so it ends around the hip to upper thigh. Burberry's Kensington and Chelsea styles are the longer options.

Is cotton gabardine actually waterproof?

Gabardine is a tightly woven twill that repels light rain, which is why Burberry used it for early raincoats. It is water-resistant, not a sealed waterproof shell for heavy storms.

The model is 5'10 and wears a size 6, and measurements vary slightly by size. The belted waist lets you pull it in, so the double-breasted front has some room.

Can I machine wash it?

No. It is 100% cotton but dry clean only, so plan on professional cleaning to keep the gabardine's finish.

What comes with the coat?

The jacket itself: spread collar with buckle neckline, epaulettes, two front pockets, buckle strap cuffs, belt and a vented back hem.

How does it compare with Burberry's other trenches?

Same gabardine and detailing as the heritage trenches, in a shorter, lighter-wearing length. Choose this for everyday wear and a longer style for full coverage.
