Hello Everyone! Thanks in advance for any help. I'm trying to find the style name (or a proper description) for a women's Burberry coat I purchased in January 2007 from their 5th Ave, NY store. (Maybe it's a stretch to call that "vintage" but it feels like a lifetime ago!). It's 80% wool, 20% cashmere, tailored, stone-colored, single-breasted, with a wide, rounded, knotched collar, belted, and nearly floor-length. Google image searches and serial number searches have yielded no similar results. I know it's authentic but have no idea what it's called or how long the style was produced. I've attached three photos. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Welcome to the VFG! The term "vintage" is generally applied to items at least 20 years old, although designers and celebrities have blurred some of those distinctions. But your coat will be truly vintage in 4 more years.

It's a very nice coat. I would call the style a wrap coat, as opposed to single breasted, since it looks like there are no button closures.

Thank you very much, Maggie! Though it does button, it appears to be a wrap when worn--that's one of things I liked about it.

Yes I can see it has hidden buttons. It's gorgeous! I particularly like the collar.

I think you've described it well. I have no help to offer on a style name though. I wonder if Burberry would respond if tried to ask them?

Hi Ruth, and thanks! That's a good idea... may as well give it try!
