A Brief History of British Made Outerwear
The development of outerwear in Britain has long been influenced by both practical needs and textile innovation in response to the country’s frequently cool, wet, and changeable weather. One significant British contribution to outerwear fabrics was gabardine, a tightly woven, water-resistant cotton invented and patented in 1879 by English tailor Thomas Burberry. Gabardine became the foundation for the modern trench coat, valued for its ability to repel rain while remaining breathable — qualities well suited to British climate conditions and later adopted in military and civilian outerwear. Another outerwear form with strong British associations is the duffle coat, originally made from heavy woollen cloth and later standardised with characteristic toggle fastenings and hoods. British naval forces adopted duffle coats in the early twentieth century for their warmth and practicality at sea, and the style subsequently transitioned into civilian wardrobes while retaining its functional design hallmarks. Beyond these specific fabrics and styles, British tailoring and garment manufacture — particularly in Yorkshire, Lancashire, and other textile regions — helped establish a tradition of structured outerwear and weather-ready garments. Whether for formal overcoats or utility jackets, British makers combined material quality and construction expertise to produce outerwear that balances protection, fit, and enduring style — principles that continue to inform British-made outerwear today.
