Step into timeless British tailoring with this vintage Burberrys double-breasted overcoat, crafted from authentic Irish tweed and made in England. The striking black and cream herringbone pattern, full satin lining, and a distinctive wide 70s-style collar with throat latch detail create a sophisticated silhouette that’s both elegant and practical.
This piece was sold through Lavenia Roma, a historic Italian Burberrys agent — a rare and collectible example of European-distributed Burberrys tailoring.

📌 Condition:
Good vintage condition overall.
There are a few thread pulls/snags toward the lower portion of the coat (shown in photos). These are not visible when buttoned and do not affect the structure. A professional dry cleaner or tailor should be able to neaten the appearance, restoring the coat’s original polish.
