Men’s Burberry Blazers | Grailed

The historic British fashion house was founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856 on the principle that clothing should be designed to protect people from British weather. Early notability came from the invention of gabardine, a waterproof breathable fabric that is still used in the brand’s iconic trench coats today. While innovation has remained a steadfast characteristic of the world-renowned label, the brand’s creative vernacular has evolved through the tenures of some of fashion’s most visionary creatives. Christopher Bailey took the helm of the brand in 2009, transforming the iconic trench coat maker into one of the most widely known luxury houses in the world and recasting Burberry as a digital pioneer. Under the current helm of Riccardo Tisci, the heritage brand enters today’s era of high-fashion streetwear relevancy—marked by an updated Peter Saville monogram and fresh logo treatment. Rich with legacy and present-day urgency, vintage Burberry remains as sought after as recent collections, collaborations and limited-run exclusives (such as the iconic check motif updated in a rainbow color way to celebrate diversity).
