Probably, everyone knows that the weather in the UK is very capricious and rarely pleases locals and tourists with clear, sunny days. Rain, fog, dampness and wind are invariable components of the English climate, so the inhabitants of the kingdom are used to dressing so that inclement weather is not an obstacle to normal life.
Raincoats, coats, warm jackets and down jackets - this is something without which you can not imagine the wardrobe of a real English lady. Outerwear made in England is famous for its impeccable quality and original design.
Today we will tell you about down jackets from one of the most famous British brands in the world - Burberry.
A little bit about the brand
Burberry is one of the oldest European companies involved in the design and manufacture of fashionable clothes.
The history of the brand began in the middle of the century before last, with the invention of gabardine - a waterproof material from which waterproof coats and capes began to be sewn.
Thomas Burberry, who patented the new fabric, soon opened a small production in a town called Hampshire. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the company was engaged in the production of clothing for the needs of the army, and later for long-distance expeditions.
Soon the first Burberry store opened in France, but until the end of the First World War, under this brand, mainly military uniforms were produced.
After the restoration of the world, military-style clothing for a long time remained popular among people not associated with the army. Therefore, the circle of customers of the company's products began to expand gradually.
Over time, Burberry has evolved into one of the leading apparel makers and trendsetters.

- Cropped jacket in dark turquoise with goose down filling. Despite the tight-fitting silhouette, this model is very comfortable, thanks to the elastic inserts on the case. The jacket design is quite concise: of all the decor elements, there are only large metal rivets on the shoulders and sleeves.
- Quilted vest in a sporty style in deep blue. A semi-fitted cut emphasizes the waist line, so a simple model that at first glance looks feminine and elegant.
- Warm duffle coat of olive-green classic for military style. Interesting details are the large clasps called walrus tusks and the black fox fur trim on the hood, which is easily detachable.
- A lightweight shortened down jacket attracts attention with its unusual coloring. Animal prints are now particularly relevant, so the pattern "under the zebra" falls into the fashion stream. Thanks to the rubberized inserts on the sides, this model fits perfectly on the figure.
- A puffy, very voluminous down jacket, made of glossy black material. Features of the model are a luxurious sheepskin collar and unusually wide sleeves. This jacket looks very impressive, especially if you mark the waist line with a wide leather belt.
Selection tips
Burberry products, like any other branded items, are often faked.
In order not to suffer from unscrupulous sellers, it is useful to know several signs by which the original Burberry down jacket can be distinguished from the Chinese copy:
- The most recognizable element of the Burberry style is the famous beige-lined pattern. It is not difficult to fake it, but on the original things of this brand, the cage is always perfectly smooth, the pattern is docked and located symmetrically.
- The Burberry brand name is a beige cardboard label with the brand name. The label is sewn onto a thick black thread that is sealed with a plastic part.
- The inner label, which indicates the country of manufacture and the composition of the down jacket, is light beige and firmly sewn into the seam. The brand name is embroidered with black thread on it. Please note that on original products, the word BURBERRY is always capitalized.
