Burberry has unveiled its new Gabardine Capsule, celebrating 170 years of the British luxury house. The capsule honours the revolutionary fabric, Gabardine, invented in 1879 by Thomas Burberry, whose weather-resistant properties have defined the brand’s outerwear heritage for nearly 150 years. Worn by explorers and everyday adventurers alike, gabardine remains central to Burberry’s identity.

Burberry has launched its Gabardine Capsule to mark 170 years, celebrating its iconic weather-resistant fabric invented by Thomas Burberry in 1879.
The range reworks parkas, bombers and quilted jackets in brushed cotton nylon gabardine, alongside knitwear and jersey layering pieces.
A heritage label inspired by a 1993 campaign highlights the brand’s countryside roots.

Reimagining signature outerwear styles, the collection features parkas, down-filled jackets, quilted silhouettes, Harringtons and bombers crafted in brushed cotton nylon gabardine. These pieces are dyed in a capsule palette of hamper beige and juniper green.

Layering pieces include chunky ribbed wool-cashmere knitwear and soft cotton melange hoodies, jogging pants and T-shirts. Many styles are detailed with gabardine panels and trench-inspired elements, such as the brand’s signature epaulettes, Burberry said in a release.

Reflecting Burberry’s enduring connection to the countryside and outdoor pursuits, the capsule introduces a specially designed label inspired by an archival 1993 campaign reading: ‘Burberrys grew out of country life.’ The label appears stitched inside coats and jackets, appliqued on jersey styles and rendered as an intarsia motif on knitwear.
