Just for fun: share your imaginary Bespoke Burberry Trench

I had too much fun with Anna's link in her bespoke post:
http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....rench-coat

I was shocked to find that my trench would be fairly classic: olive, gunmetal hardware, throat latch, black liner, cursive monogram.

Of course, if the options were infinite, you might be looking at something totally different. Paprika pony hair? Citron? Paprika pony hair with a citron plaid leather undercollar?

I'd LOVE to see what variations we all came up with - please post some pics if you can!

I would, but how did you get it to save your pictures? I can't seem to do that.

And you did see this with ponyskin sleeves, didn't you? http://us.burberry.com/store/w.....earch=true

Rae that's almost the same as mine, except I did a different lining (and obviously something else since the price was a bit less; no monogram for me, that might be it). Too fun ^^

Ooh Fun. I ended up with a $8000+ Navy Abingdon with removable Finnish Mink liner. Awesome. Never happening. Could not figure out how to save photos. I'm not a fur gal, but it was Finnish (which I am) and imaginary so why not?

I just took screen captures of the images, no saving required.

K, I love the color of the coat in that link, too!

I love the term "throat latch" - it sounds like something a knight would wear into battle. Will have to share mine -I created an account and saved it!

Obviously I'm going to have to postpone my retirement. Too easy to spend $5000, but if I live to 113 and wear it every year, my CPW will be only $100 a year...

I do realize that I probably won't look much like the model, especially in the last few years of my wearing this coat but, on the other hand, a 50 year-old leather coat will probably have a few wrinkles and age marks, too!

Can't wait to see yours, Una! I agree that throat latch is awesome.

Gaylene, I love that you went with the full leather. With a coat like that, you would find a way to make it to 113, just to keep wearing it!

Hey, I'm all about the Euro-minimalist wardrobe where you intend to wear your clothes for several years. I've just never contemplated a 50 year stretch until now...

Una, I love that coat--especially those sleeve tabs.

Ooh, love it! Great color, and I love the double belt, even though I don't have enough waist to double-belt myself.

Here's a screencap of Una's just to have it here on the thread.

Here is mine. Not sure you can read the details, so it is:
Wellclose zip 84 cm
Black cotton gabardine
classic check lining
red cashmere liner (only available for some reason if you choose the classic check lining)
classic check undercollar with throat latch
leather overcollar
wide belt
monogram
total just under $3000 - a bargain!
