Burberrys Solgardine Wool-blend Trench Coat, Red, Vintage, RARE ‘50-‘60’s

1950s/ 1960s BURBERRY "SOLGARDINE" RAINCOAT. Named after the estate in Inverness, Scotland, where this style of coat was first developed, the coat is designed to be a stunning and elegant coat that offers exceptional weather protection. This version of the coat by Burberry dates from the late 1950s or early 1960s--a precision in dating made possible by the fact that this is cut from Burberry's "Solgardine" cloth, a proprietary blend of 55/45 polyester/wool... a fabric that has the feel and heft of the original World War One gabardine. Given the limited time in which Burberry made coats from Solgardine this is a very rare coat indeed! The bottom button of the coat is unsown, however the button comes with the coat. The coat is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. No stains, or rips. No size is given, but is estimated as a SMALL (check measurements) Shoulders: 17” Pit to Pit: 22” Width of Bottom: 29” Sleeves: 23” Length: 23”
