Burberry’s popular checks have been in fashion since 1914, when Burberry was commissioned by the War Office to adapt its officer’s coat to suit the conditions of contemporary warfare, resulting in the “trench coat”. After the war, the trench coat became popular with civilians. The iconic Burberry check was created in the 1920s and used as a lining in its trench coats. Base products like the trench coat, the Piccadilly raincoat, the Cashmere scarf were all relaunched using notably the beige check known worldwide today.
