Designed to maintain the performance and longevity of gabardine, reproofing helps preserve the fabric’s protective qualities. It is not a dry cleaning or general cleaning service. For general cleaning, we recommend consulting a specialist dry cleaner and following the instructions on your garment’s care label.
Your garment will be assessed to confirm its suitability for reproofing. This is a chargeable service. The cost and estimated lead time will be confirmed following assessment.
Specialist repair services are available to help restore and extend the life of your Burberry trench coat or eligible gabardine piece.
Repairs may include linings, seams, stitching and other areas of the garment. Replacement parts may include belts, buttons, buckles, epaulettes and other trench coat components.
Repairs and replacement parts are chargeable and subject to assessment. The cost and estimated lead time will be confirmed following assessment. Availability may vary depending on the style, age and condition of your coat.
Complimentary within four weeks of purchase.
Eligible alterations are complimentary for up to four weeks from the original date of purchase, subject to proof of purchase. Alterations requested outside this period may be chargeable, and service availability will be confirmed following assessment.
Visit us in store to discuss the care of your eligible garment. You can visit a participating Burberry store, book an appointment online for a dedicated assessment, or contact Customer Service if you are unable to visit a store or have questions about accessing aftercare.
A trained Burberry advisor will assess your trench coat or eligible gabardine piece and discuss the most appropriate service. Where specialist treatment is required, your garment will be sent to one of our aftercare centres.
For chargeable services, the cost will be confirmed following assessment and before the service proceeds. An estimated lead time will also be provided. Once the service is complete, your garment will be available for collection or returned to you.
Wear
Handle your garment with care between wears, avoiding unnecessary friction from rough surfaces, bags or accessories that may mark or catch the fabric.
Protect
Keep your garment away from excessive moisture, direct heat and prolonged exposure to sunlight. If it becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally before storing.
Maintain
Clean only when necessary to help preserve the colour and finish of your garment. Where appropriate, gently treat small surface marks with a soft cloth and mild soap. If creasing occurs, press the affected areas with a medium-heat iron, following the care instructions.
Store
Hang your garment between wears and store it in a breathable garment bag, away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This will help maintain its shape and minimise creasing.
Gabardine is Burberry’s signature fabric – a tightly woven, lightweight and breathable cotton developed by Thomas Burberry to offer protection from the elements. It is used across a range of outerwear, including our Heritage Trench Coats, Car Coats and seasonal rainwear.
Cotton Gabardine
Gabardine is designed for durability and longevity. To help preserve its appearance, avoid unnecessary cleaning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Hang your garment between wears and gently treat small surface marks where appropriate.
Trims & Details
Take particular care around buttons, buckles, leather trims and other details. Where possible, remove or protect detachable trims before professional cleaning to help prevent damage.
Spot Cleaning
Where appropriate, gently treat small soiled areas with a suitable cleaning agent rather than cleaning the entire garment. Avoid harsh rubbing and abrasive products.
Pressing & Finishing
After cleaning, carefully reshape the garment and allow it to air dry before storing. Creased areas can be pressed with a medium-heat iron, following the care instructions.
Specialist Care
For general cleaning, always follow the care label and use a specialist dry cleaner experienced in caring for gabardine outerwear.
