Hi everyone, if you missed the COS review mentioned in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j5V_Tjo7FAs.html I also added some links in the description, for you to see second-hand & new options of these garments (I pre-filtered the results based on how I would shop for myself). And now the big question: after watching this video, which trench coat would you rather put your money on?
I bought my Burberry in DC 31 years ago for $1,500. I wear it throughout spring and fall and some days in-between. It has been cleaned countless times and no longer sheds rain quite as well, but it shows almost no signs of wear. At this rate, they'll be able to bury me in it!
I went vintage shopping last week and I found this trench coat that was specially made by a tailor for someone and surprisingly it fits me so well. extremely high quality and makes me feel so special and it did not cost much because it is not from one of those famous brands. Bought it for 79 euros
Yes please! I would pay the price of the Barbour coat (as it is worth the price) but there is no way I could afford the Burberry. I would love more suggestions of decent quality but mid-range price brands.
I worked with a woman who, when she graduated from University in the 1970s, received a Burberry trench coat from her father. She still wore it when she retired in 2015. It looked great. So when my daughter graduated from University in 2018, I bought her a Burberry trench coat. I am a dressmaker, and I am very happy to know that any time a button gets loose, she takes it to the store and it is repaired for free. We are both happy with the investment.
The problem is that not even a half of women stay in the same shape over decades (Well, maybe French ladies do). Probably, having a Burberry coat motivates some people to fit in it by any means.
I have a London Fog trench coat with a zip in lining for colder weather from around the same era. Has a touch of the big shoulder pad look but not so over the top Dynasty looking that it's too bad. Not nearly as stylish and upscale as your Burberry, but well made and still in use some 40 years later. My son loves it and is always trying to "borrow" it from me.
When it comes to trench coats I wouldn’t budge from Burberry. I bought trench coats annually before I bought a Burberry 10 years ago. It’s still looks amazing, holds its shape and the quality is amazing (I wear it almost everyday in spring and autumn). It’s timeless and I haven’t bought another trench since. Worth every buck I paid and I still love to wear it.
@@simonagiorgi77 The classic models are Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster. Kensington is more straight, with roomier shoulders and wider sleeves but it still makes an hourglass shape. Chelsea is more fitted in the chest and waist area and sleeves. I haven’t tried the Westminster, but it looks more relaxed. If you have the chance, try as many as possible, you never know which one is for you until you try and compare. Even if the SA has a strong opinion about your fit, try them on, for fun 😉
I was lucky enough to find a Christian Dior men's trench coat in a US thrift shop, 30 years ago. It cost $20. I wear it every winter (and I've been in the UK for the past 15 years, so it has seen some use) and it still looks a million dollars.
@@silvasilvasilva Luck plays a huge part, especially if you don't have a lot of money to spend. London second-hand shops have got very pricey. The thrift shops in Paris and Amsterdam still carry designer labels at affordable prices and, often, they are helping charities. I got a couple of gorgeous cashmere coats in Amsterdam, about five years ago, for maybe 50 euros each. I always google the second-hand shops, when I go on holiday, and devote a couple of leisurely days to them. I found a pristine Burberry trench in Bastia, a few years ago, for 10 euros, but it was far too big. Happy hunting!
@@weeleelee5843 That's lovely! I found some very good itens in London shops, but nothing as good as that! Since I only visit every few years, I have to wish on my lucky star :)
@@janakase6319 yeah, I totally get your point! Though I'd hardly think that much when buying something that would only get out of my closet once every few years, if that. I do take all the garment construction, fabrics and tailoring tips when buying my own clothes, which is why i love Justine so much, her content is gold.
Me, too. I live where it is never colder than 24°C. Fortunately, with many seamstresses in the family, I learned quality early; fabric, seams, closures etc... But I LOVE JUSTINE and appreciate her style and quality. So I watched🤗💐💛 Thank you for being of help to others with your time and knowledge.
well, I'm living in a tropical country, but there are rainy and damp seasons here, so I've collected couples of light weight and flimsy trench coat that suit the bright sky atmosphere :)
The small inside buttons: I was taught they are not there for aesthetics. They are to prevent tear of the fabric, by spreading the pressure on the inside fabric when the outside button is yanked.
Fashion-challenged, but just want nice, functional, durable clothes. We never notice these things, but once seen and understood, they can’t be unseen. Thanks for educating us consumers.
it is really useful to learn the reason behind why some aspects are better quality, and how they affect the garment. You cannot always find a garment where everything is impeccable so it is good to be able to judge what aspects of quality will be most important to prioritise for you. for example if an issue is mostly aesthetic or if it will make the whole thing fall apart.
Few years ago, I bought a vintage Christian Dior trench coat from around the 1970's for £55. I'm a tailor and I revamped it a bit and now it's fits like a dream. Even my manager said that nowadays they are not making coats with details like this...
Nice video! I’m a fellow designer and just wanted to make a correction on one statement - the small buttons on the inside of the Burberry coat are not to cover the thread only. The main purpose of this button is to add stability to the front button so it doesn’t “flop”. It’s a common technique used in outerwear making (mainly) where larger and heavier buttons are used and they need to lay even against the fabric.
Here in the UK in the country, it’s considered much more fashionable if your Barbour is extremely well worn and at least 15 years old. They just go on forever, mine will probably outlive me. Brilliant video 👏
There's a *reason* I'm looking for a second-hand Barbour jacket on eBay. (OK, price is the main reason but vintage definitely looks better than brand new!)
I'd really love a video comparing quality of garments through the decades. I've personally always found that the vintage items I find in consignment stores are constructed a lot better than new items of the same brand!
It's probably a bit of survivor bias, only the good pieces are kept while all the rest got binned early on, but I agree... even vintage H&M is nice! :)
I found a red ladies 12us Burberry trench coat at a thrift for 11.99!! It's gorgeous and the original owner had her name embroidered on the label. I love it!
I bought mine in the late 80s and it’s still like new. I think it cost about GBP 800 at the time. The fit is still great, thanks to the cut.. Burberry would embroider your initials on the label when you purchased the coat - this was a standard part of the product, no charge.
I would buy vintage Burberry for the cut, cause I'm really not into the whole oversized potato bag style that is roaming around these days :) And I'm also constantly surprised when I look at new coats at shops that they don't have full lining. That never happened when I was younger and I don't remember prices to be that much higher just for the lining.
I'm pretty sure my old London Fog trench (before the brand went bargain basement) had a zip-in lining, which was nice for three-season wear. I miss touches like that.
@@patriciasalem3606 I've still got my old early 1980s London Fog. It has the extra zip-in lining for three-season wear. It still looks great even if it does have slightly larger shoulder pads than anything modern,
@@diannej2406 I got mine in 1979 before moving to the Netherlands for a year to study. I don't know what happened to it. I probably gave it away in the '90s. :(
My mother was a seamstress, so I know her attitude towards perfect seams, pockets, cuts, materials etc., and while I was younger I used to copy those Schnitts from Burda to a paper and than cut them for her, so yes, I enjoy your videos greatly 😊😊😊❤️
Yes! More videos like this!!! Vlogs and magazines often preach "buy quality items" but that's the thing - - an average person like me with zero knowledge in textile and fashion can't tell what makes a garment of quality!!
I`ve been wearing my Barbour Jacket for more than 10 years now for walking the dog, horseback riding and everyday life. I love it, it has a rustic feel but it`s chic as well. Mine has a detachable liner, therefore warm in winter and cool in spring or fall and a hood for rainy days. Perfect !
As someone who sews and knits almost 90% of my garments, including trench coats and outerwear, I love checking out the inside construction of RTW garments, to the point where some department store sales associates think I’m a secret shopper! Great video and given the choice, I would love a vintage Burberry. The Barbour is probably too warm for Vancouver climate but a classically made vintage trench would be a lovely addition to my wardrobe! Thanks, Justine. Always, always informative!
As a fellow Vancouverite now living in the UK - rainwear is definitely important to us. I would wear Burberry but i am on the eternal hunt for a vintage one i like.
Like you I also make most of my garments. Myself, being an inverted triangle, would go for a man's vintage Burberry, and adjust it. I have had a Barbour for the last 40 years and it has worn very well and will outlive me. I had a chance to buy some ex-Burberry trench fabric a few years ago and passed it up because it wasn't quite the right colour, so I am kicking myself now! I also like checking out RTW, usually tut-tut-tutting and the usually poor construction of womenswear. I am so glad I sew, I could not afford to buy the finished garments I make for myself. Also, having made them, I take great care of them.
Just a note: Barbour have lighter outerwear coats than the one Justine has demonstrated here. I live in the Northeast of the U.S. and have a fantastic Barbour raincoat that is designed for warmer weather. Highly recommend checking out their full collection sometime just to see. :)
I bought the Burberry Oxclose coat this last spring. I’m almost 59 years old, and I love the style. And with the quality and durability, I know this is my last trenchcoat/raincoat I will need to buy! It was a huge splurge but it was also a relief to quit searching for the perfect spring and fall coat. I live in Missouri, U.S. and we have a lot of “middle” weather, and I wanted to look nice during these times of the year. It was indulgent, for sure. But I’m not participating in fast fashion abuses anymore. Really haven’t for a long time as much as possible. Thank you Justine! You are charming and informative and just seem like a nice person.
I wear my dad's old burberry. He bought it in the 80ies and wore it every day to work. I still wear it in fall and spring. It's perfectly waterproof and I loooooove the huge pockets!
My Barbour coat is the best purchase I've ever made. Coming from a country where it's either always raining, windy, cold or the weather changes every 5 min, the coat is a match made in heaven.
actually it was a requested topic, some people were asking why I have not talked about outerwear yet on the channel. And I thought... that's true!! Let's change it ;-)
I invested in a Burberry a while back and did not regret it. It wears beautifully and the style is so classic that I can still wear this when I’m 60, reducing the cost per wear substantially. I don’t have to buy any other trench style outerwear for a long time, I consider it good value for money. Also it’s Burberry but some styles are more muted, not you dont see so much of the plat, you would immediately know it’s Burberry, so possible to wear on all occasions.
I recently bought a vintage second-hand Burberrys trench and I'm in love. The quality is stunning and the attention to every possible detail is amazing. By just touching the outside you'd know it's far better quality than most random coats you can buy nowadays.
I'm lucky enough to live near the Barbour factory, they have a fabulous factory shop. Barbour coats last for so many years and can easily be repaired or relined by Barbour.
I bought a new Burberry wool/cashmere blend trench coat 13 years ago. I feel like a queen every time I wear it. The fit and the quality are impeccable and the style is timeless. Still it is not a value for money product, the price point is most about exclussiveness. Second hand high end products are a very good choice for me when it comes to accessories (e.g. bags, belts.)
I purchased a London Fog trench that's waterproof and has a removable quilted lining for warmth, from the Goodwill "Bins" for $1.39 a pound! I love it, and the quality is amazing! I'm not sure if it's vintage but it seems to be, because it's very classic.
After buying like 8 trench coats from COS- type stores, I finally invested in a Burberry coat.. the others always ended up being not timeless or poorly made and I’m now so glad that even though it was more expensive I feel like I’ll be able to wear it for years (so I’m not spending/wasting 150€ every season)
i love that you confirm most of what my mum taught me about choosing clothes! she raised a very very picky human that hates most of the clothes made these days :D
I think this inner buttons are there not for aestetic reasons but for strenght. I ripped buttons out of cheap fabrics not only once. And I saw this double buttoning many times on the old sturdy clothes.
I bought a gorgeous 1990s Burberry coat with removable lining on eBay for $75 just a few years ago. My trick was to look in the middle of a very hot New York summer. Best money I never spent...
Barbour is made in the North East of England (close to where I live actually :) and it is a staple of the British garment industry. The Royal family has been wearing it for decades.
I work in the equestrian industry, and Barbour is considered the top brand for barn coats and casual riding jackets. The Royal Family's association with the brand has given it a kind of de facto luxury status, IMO.
I heard Queen Elizabeth loves her old Barbour jackets so much she gets them refurbished and repaired front time to time. I love the waxed jackets because they breathe and repell water. They have to be rewaxed and one needs to purchase the tin of wax. I wore one out. I have found some from LL Bean and Eddie Bauer in the US. I also have seen them in Orvis catalogs . Not as well made as Barbour.
@@georgiafrye2524 I agree--I love that treatment of the material too. I could definitely see Her Majesty doing that with her Barbour jackets. It's no different than refurbishing a beloved pair of riding boots.
I love the quality of Barbour garments! 💛 Last winter I bought a Parka (Birches) from this brand - still pricy although I found it on sale. It’s worth every single cent: The quality is amazing, it seems to be extremely durable and the jacket itself a real classic. I'm sure I'll have it for the rest of my life.🤘
My sister wore a Barbour jacket for years while practicing horse riding. Great garment. With the added value of my sister not being an entitled parasite 😁
Those small responding buttons on Burberry are not just for esthetics, those actually help to prevent pulling the main button of with thread trough the fabric.
I have always wanted a Burberry trench coat! I have tried it on once in the store, and it was the most comfortable trench coat I have ever worn. If I wasn’t broke, that would be so amazing having something like that since I live in rainy Washington.
I loved that you smiled when you realised you made an unintended pun with the COS coat and it's production price. Love and aporeciate your work Ms Leconte!!
I really love how details these reviews are! So informative! But the prices of Burberry aren’t just cause of the finishing/COO etc. They’re more than anything a product of the status of the brand as a luxury brand. It didn’t cost Burberry 20 times the price to produce their trench coats compared to Cos but they charge 20 times more! I think Barbour is the best option as they specialise in outerwear and they’re not positioned as a luxury brand. If you don’t have access to second hand luxury brands cause not everyone does! X
i got my two favorite vintage burberry coats (beige and olive) a couple of years ago and i still can't get over how much different garments were just 30 years ago. the work and the material is exquisite. not to mention the cut - so rare to find long coats (most stop mid-thigh) and raglan sleeves on men's coats these days. luckily plenty of well-preserved vintage ones feature both of these traits 🧥
I purchased a used Burberry trench years ago and I still think it’s beautiful. I saved for it and it’s the only trench I’ve ever owned. Last year, I added a couple of jackets from Barbour to my wardrobe, both bought on sale, and I am extremely happy with the value and quality of them. I feel great in all my pieces because they were thoughtful purchases and I would recommend the brands to anyone in the market for similar items. Thank you, Justine, for these excellent tips! I’ll know what to look for next time 😊

Never go wrong with Barbour! I love my Bedale so much.
Your notification popped up on my phone just as I was heading off to bed so I watched it (of course). I have learned so much over the years from your videos. Now I research and examine items more closely before purchasing. As a direct result, I would much rather wait and save to buy quality these days, or preloved/secondhand, over any fast fashion items. It most certainly helps to know what to look for, many thanks Justine. One of your Australian supporters 😊💓
I really love your videos where you let us learn more about the craft behind fashion. Through your expert eyes you let us see details we wouldn't pick up - that's what I find very appealing.
Would you do a "tell the difference/identify" video for scarves? Telling the difference between an Hermés authentic vs fake, identifying when there is no tag, etc.
I really love how informative and complete those videos are! It is also nice to learn what to look for in a garment and seeing how happy Justine is at the sight of a good sewing technique and a good quality of clothing is a delight
Hi Justine, I love your videos! I think that vintage is always the way to go, not only does it save money, but it’s also more sustainable. I would rather pay more for a well made, sustainable used piece than for a new one, especially if the new one is not fair trade. Thank you for educating us. ❤️❤️
I waited almost 8 years to allow myself to buy a Burberry trench coat. I wouldn’t even try on other trench coats, because I knew I would never justify buying a Burberry after that, so I waited. It’s an amazing piece of clothing, the comfort level is just great. The pockets are huge, they hold so much and never look bulky. The small details like the hook on the front, the gun flap, the neck strap... everything was designed for the military and is still very useful and cool today. The fit is so good, the garment is ... lush, it gives an exquisite feeling, that is worth every penny!
Hi Justine, I do seek out vintage - often from my Mom’s extensive closet, because the quality and craftsmanship is wonderful - I have not been much of a fast fashion girl ( though the pieces I have bought are still worn several years later) - but even the high street brands (eg. Cos, Banana Republic) have significantly decreased their quality over time to have more frequent sales - it’s difficult to find that quality middle price point😔
So true. I used to love Banana Republic, and still have pieces from 20+ years ago, but I stopped shopping there a few years back because the quality became ridiculous. In 2016 I reordered the same dress 4x, and don't know how any of them past quality control.
I just looked at Burberry trench coats in store this weekend. They felt good quality but I was a bit underwhelmed for the price, they didn't wow me any more than a mid-high range good quality trench would. I think I will buy one second hand though, more worth $1000 to me than $2000.
I do look at quality of construction and materials but can't afford commercially made quality most of the time. I wore good quality hand-me-down coats (from family) in my youth and have made my own winter coats since I was in my early twenties (I'm 67 now). Canadian winters require good quality and the best coat I ever had was made by an Inuit person and originally gifted to my sister. I still have it for the most bitterly cold days. I really appreciate that you take the time to provide this kind of information to consumers. Thank you.
Several years ago I got myself a vintage Burberry lined trench coat for 90€ and it's the best ! I highly recommend getting vintage trench coats. I'm an outerwear designer, so I really appreciate the quality and details. Thank you Justine for sharing this interesting video. It helps so many people!
Vintage coats are so easy to find and such good quality in general in my experience. Also I love heavy coats for winter, I have a 70s one I stole from my grandma that is like a 2kg at least and it is very comfortable and warm
I just bought a second hand Austin Reed trench coat with a removable wool lining last weekend for $35! It is 100% cotton for the shell and 80% wool/20% polyester for the lining. It is my favorite brand and I’m sad they went out of business. I have many pieces of theirs which are nearly 30 years old and look brand new! Classic tailoring never goes out of style. ❤️ I loved your perspective on what makes a garment quality versus cheap fast fashion. I’d love to see more critiques like that in the future, as I do not understand stitching or how various fabrics will perform in a garment. Thanks for all you do! Your information on sustainability has helped me while building a new capsule wardrobe in my new size. The garments are natural fibers, and I told a friend who is doing a similar purge! You have lit a spark over here!
Got myself a new Burberry a few years ago, got it adjusted in shoulders and arms by Burberry for free - so now it is the one coat the completely fits me. After several attempts with more price conscious brands that never fit me completely...I'd say it is my one true investment piece of clothing. A good one. Great explanation video, how the price differences happen. Thank you.
What really surprises me is that Burberry uses polyester in their garments!!! This is something I am trying to steer clear of as it's so toxic to the environment. Thanks for the comprehensive comparison Justine. Excellent as always!
I think a Trench coat is really worth the investment if you have the money. It is timeless and the cost per wear will go down over time. It is even something to be handed down to the next generation! Great video as always 😊
I've two London Fog trench coats - one with no lining for warmer days, the other with lining for winter. They've served me well for years. I found them secondhand, taken care of impeccably.
I'd love if you did a video on expensive brands that destroy unsold clothes (as opposed to marking down). How much do they actually waste and how much mire do people pay for clothes because it has to cover what ends up being destroyed. What brands do this? I love quality and all, but don't want to contribute to waste.
Brands across all ends of the economic spectrum do this. Search for DW fast fashion, they investigated the fast fashion industry. The most shocking thing to me was the amount of clothing H&M/Zara etc make that go directly to a land fill… brand new clothes never sold never worn… directly to the land fill. I don’t know what’s worse LV/ Burberry destroying old stock or H&M/ Zara doing the same??? It’s all about controlling the market and planned obsolescence a business practice that goes back to the 1920s Almost every manufacturer of any product you can think of is guilty of this, from clothes computers ,cars, appliances. To me the biggest difference between a Burberry coat vs a H&M coat is… the chances of the Burberry coat going to a landfill post consumer purchase is exponentially lower due to perceived value. In fact, before I buy any “luxury” product I check the used resale market prices. By doing so I can estimate my projected loss or gain after wearing the item for a few years. Some items I have lost a little money on some items I have made really good money. What matters most is that the item didn’t go to a land fill and it’s service life continues with a new owner.
I love my Barbour jacket. After 5 years, it hasn't needed a refinish yet. It's built forever. Why would anyone want to give one away to a second-hand store? - Thank you for your great videos, Justine!
I would go with the Vintage Burberry. Enjoyed your showing us the difference in well made garments vs. fast fashion. Gives me an idea as to what to look for and an appreciation as to why the cost is higher on the well made garments. Thanks.
Not me learnign at the age of 25 that tortoise shell isn't a pattern in plastic, but actual animal 😮 (I mean, I assume my £55 glasses frames are 100% plastic, I just assumed it was named after how it looked, not what it traditionally was!)
@@seabreeze4559 Your glasses frames are cheap plastic. If they were real tortoise shell they would be thousands. Probably 10's of thousands. No glasses company is going to kill a bunch of tortoises for you.
Raglan sleeves are an essential point for me. They are more comfortable in outerwear. Otherwise there are 2 layers of seams at the shoulders which become too bulky. Set-in sleeves are fine for dresses or blouses, but not on jackets or coats, imo.
Raglan sleeves are good on wider bigger shoulders if you have the volume to fill them out. But they are too heavy, bulky and uncomfortable on smaller shoulders shoulders. Smaller shoulders suit tailored cuts.
Oh gosh, I'm quite narrow at the shoulders and I much prefer a raglan cut coat! I find as with the above comment there's much less bulk especially in Winter when I need to layer. So interesting reading through such differing opinions!
I try to select good quality clothes and I sew, so I know some things to look for. I appreciate that you share your professional knowledge. One thing about womens' outerwear is that many, even good quality garments, lack practical details, especially inside pockets. I think it is possible to design a coat with inner pockets even for the gender with a bust. I often just want to put my wallet and keys in the pocket and not use a hand bag.
I'd be interested to see if the new Burberry is constructed as well as the vintage. I would definitely buy either vintage option if they were available in my size
Years ago I went shopping with the intention of buying a Burberry trench for work. I also tried on a Nippon trench which was every bit as nice and had a beautiful zip out wool lining. At that time, it was a nicer trench all the way around. It came down to price and the privilege of paying a premium for the signature Burberry lining. I bought the Nippon-it was a great trench.
There is a small shop called Da Vinci on Sanjyo street in Kyoto close to Teramachi street. They used to supply fabrics to Burberry Gucci etc. They make very nice trench coats with variety of colors with a fraction of the price of Burberry. If u ever visit Kyoto I would recommend to visit the shop
I have a vintage chocolate brown Barbour and it is lovely. I bought mine pre- loved for around £100 and I think it will last my lifetime. .....as long as I don’t put on more lockdown weight! These videos are so good, thank you very much 🌞
Thank you for this wonderful video, Justine. It is so important to be reminded (or learn) to distinguish good from bad quality these days. One small detail to add: the small inner buttons on the burberry coat are not just for optical reasons. My grandma taught me the absolute basics of mending clothes by hand, and she taught me to always add these so called counter or stay buttons to heavy duty clothes because they prevent the buttons from ripping off too easily.
That was so interesting to watch. It would be fun to learn about something like a blazer or dress in a few price points to see where your money goes. Thanks for such an informative video!
I got my Burberry trench coat more than 20 years ago. It is still perfect. I also have 2 short quilted jackets which I bought 15 yeas ago (at the KaDeWe!) I think this is well invested money and I don't regret these purchases. Great video Justine, thanks for explaining the details of this high quality beautiful garments.
I have two Barbour jackets and they are superb. I have the Beadnell and a limited edition waxed riding jacket with custom cotton lining from 2013. The riding jacket is the coat I wear all year-round; it's so versatile, lightweight and has a beautiful shape to it. Normally you would re-wax your jacket every year but I've gone for two years now without re-waxing and it's been fine so far. Barbour is your everyday essential jacket and I used to work for a country-wear shop with people coming in having had their Barbour for over 30 years and more. They stand the test of time and never go out of fashoin because they are a classic. I highly recommend them.
I bought a Burberry trench coat (kids size 14 bc I am petite) in 2008 and I still have it today and it looks in perfect condition. I have worn it traveling and living abroad on 3 continents. It has been through all the disruptive weather and washing machines, and it still looks so new. Thank you for this informative video, Justine. I paused the video half way and ran up to my closet to look at it and it has all the hallmarks of the Burberry trench- the buttons, the extra fabric on the lining, the leather buckles (all things I never really looked at before)! Now I treasure my old trench more than ever, especially now that the same trench in kids' size 14 costs $990USD and I got mine in 2008 for $475USD!
A well worn B'berry trench coat is a great look, very classy and speaks well of the wearer. It doesn't go out of style and looks even better with age. A great investment!!
I used to buy trench coats every year, until 3 year ago, when I invested in my classic Burberry. It will be my last one...is was an investment I will say, and a good one for me
I recently found a ladies's Barbour jacket in my size, second-hand on Vinted ... for £40!! I waited a couple of weeks, and as I couldn't stop thinking about it, I bought it, and I'm so glad I did!! We've had pretty cold weather here in the uk this spring (if you can call it spring...) I've worn it almost every day, and I know I will wear it for years to come.
A friend took me to Orvis one day and made me invest in a Barbour raincoat. I love it!. It is multi-seasonal, and is so beautifully made. I have never regretted the money spent...I would buy another Barbour if I identified another style of coat or jacket the I needed.
Given choice, I'd rather take time to improve my sewing skills to the level when I would be confident enough to sew one myself) At the moment I am at skirts and shirts level))
I've just baught a new Burberry trench coat during the sales for 1100 € to avoid wasting money every year for a non-qualified trench🙄🙄 I am happy with my new purchase and the quality is awesome 😀😀 Thanks for this very interesting video as usual chère Justine your channel is great 👍👍🙏🙏
Thanks for the detailed look at the construction of the garments. I am a home sewer and appreciate that very much. The construction of the Burberry pocket was amazing ! And I will totally steal the idea of putting little buttons behind the big buttons. Such a great idea 🤩 I have sewn a trench coat for myself. It’s unlined with bound seams and bound button holes. And I love it.
Your coat sounds great! I admire that you made bound button holes. Both my trench coats have linings, and I never considered the possibility of not wanting a lining until now. When it is rainy and warm, my coats keep me too warm (and humid!). Maybe a trench without a liner would be nicer for a rainy summer day?
@@undercoversquid1304 it was my first coat ever and I wasn’t confident enough to try a lining. So yes. It’s more a summer coat. But my next coat will definitely have a lining. By the way. I made the Deer &Doe Luzerne Trench. It’s a beautiful pattern.
Hi Justine, Could you do a "how to care for jewelry" video? I recently purchased your ricochet statement ring and want to make sure I take good care of it! :)
