Thomas Burberry established Burberry in 1856 at just 21 years old, founded on the principle that clothing should be designed to protect people from the British weather. He later invented a breathable weatherproof fabric called gabardine in 1879. In the early 20th century Burberry established themselves in London and began to produce more revolutionary fabrics and gain popularity through their weatherproof trench coats. By the 21st Century Burberry had solidified themselves as one of the best outerwear brands in the world.
