Burberry (1856 - Present)

Thomas Burberry, who made his name with the trench coat, established his first shop in 1856 and began to sell clothing under the Burberry name in 1891. The founder was a shrewd businessman and used a trademark and advertising to build his brand. His innovative advertisements touting his styles as "designed by sportsmen for sportsmen" drew patrons to his store, which was established in London's Haymarket near St. James Square. In 1909 Burberry registered the "Equestrian Knight" trademark to distinguish his garments from imitations, an insignia used continuously until the mid-1990s. The armor in the iconic logo signifies the protection afforded by the outerwear, the "Chivalry of Knighthood" slogan reflects the company's sense of integrity, and Latin "prorsum" meaning "forward" referred to Burberry's innovative fabrics and styles for the career crowd. Burberry sought to broaden its appeal to a younger, more fashion-conscious female clientele in the late 1980s and introduced the Thomas Burberry collection featuring a number of designs at a lower price point. After designing for both Donna Karan and Gucci, Christopher Bailey was named creative director of Burberry in 2001 and continues to design all of the brand’s apparel and product lines as well as oversee the branding, advertising and store design internationally.

Size and Measurements

We suggest taking your own bust, waist and hip measurements since vintage garments tend to be more fitted and it is often the best way to determine proper fit. Measure around the fullest area of your bust and hips and narrowest part of your waist while wearing minimal undergarments. Most of our pieces are measured flat and it can be helpful to take a garment with a similar cut and style that fits you well and compare some measurements, for example when considering coats that need room for layering or a-line shift dresses that are meant to fit snugly over the bust and flare out from the waist and hip. Lay the garment out on a flat, even surface with all zippers and buttons closed and extend the tape in as straight a line as possible for each measurement listed below.

Bust: across chest from one underarm seam to other, double
Waist: across narrowest area from one side seam to other, double
Hip: across hip area (7-9” below waist) from one side seam to other, double
Shoulder: across upper back of garment from point where shoulder seam meets armhole seam from one side to the other
Sleeve: from top of armhole/shoulder seam to sleeve edge
Arm: from one side of neckline edge, over shoulder line, down to hem edge
Length: down middle of back from neck edge to bottom hem or from middle point of left or right shoulder seam, over bust, to bottom hem if garment has a low neckline
Bodice Length: from middle of either shoulder seam, over bust, to waist seam
Skirt Length: from top of waistband to bottom seamline
Inseam: from center of crotch along inner seam of one leg to hem
