Help dating this trench coat from Burberrys

[Ineke Veenstra]

Hello,

I have bought a trenchcoat, and I would like to know more about it.
The outer fabric of this coat is made of 51% polyester and 49% cotton. Lining is 50% Polyester and 50% cotton.
The belt and the sleevebelts? have leather buckles.
When I look at the labels in the label resource it looks like the label from the 80's.
See photo's.

I would like to know how old this trenchcoat is, if it is original and what the size label? in the left pocket means.

Hi, we can't authenticate here, but I agree your coat looks to be from the 1980s, and I would think that was a (1980's) UK size 18 Long. Measuring it you may find it comes up smaller, or larger than the modern equivalent. (I typically find 1980's garments run a size smaller than today's, but if it's meant to be oversized the measurements mean little)

You might want to read this thread, Ineke, which has a similar Burberry's size label - we thought it might be a special order/custom piece.
