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.
