Burberry
Mad for plaid? Look no further than a bastion of British fashion heritage.

The Burberry Empire dates back to 1856 when founder Thomas Burberry opened up his first shop in Basingstoke, Hampshire with a focus on creating quality, durable outdoor attire. Known for their signature trench coat and trademark check, Burberry's brand of British cool was solidified when Christopher Bailey took over as creative director in 2001.
