Vintage 1988 Burberrys Balmacaan Trench Coat — Rare Matte Emerald Green — Made in England
100% Authentic Vintage Luxury
Up for sale is a stunning, highly collectible vintage Burberrys (vintage Burberry) Balmacaan style coat from 1988. This piece was masterfully crafted in England and features a very rare, deep matte emerald green color that stands out beautifully compared to standard beige models.
Design and Features:
- Iconic Balmacaan Silhouette: Classic single-breasted A-line cut with a concealed placket (hidden buttons) for a sleek, timeless look.
- No Belt Needed: Designed originally as a loose, flowing oversized silhouette (contains no belt loops on the waist).
- Premium Materials: Durable heavy gabardine outer shell with a gorgeous 100% cotton dark House Check / Navy-Green Tartan lining.
- Complete Set: Includes the original matching throat latch / storm strap under the collar (this piece is almost always missing on vintage items!).
- Comfortable raglan sleeves and a deep buttoned back vent for easy movement.
CONDITION & FABRIC NOTE:
The coat is in good vintage condition with plenty of life left! The interior lining, pocket bags, and all original buttons are fully intact and in near-new, crisp condition, proving the coat was worn very gently and rarely.
- Fabric & Color Note: The outer shell features Burberry’s legendary heavy gabardine with a beautiful matte finish. Please note that the color naturally shifts between a rich forest/emerald green and a smoky, muted grayish-olive shade depending on the lighting (natural daylight vs. indoor shadows) and camera angle. This is a premium factory feature of the vintage fabric blend, not fading from wear.
- Vintage Wear: There is a small, light faded spot/scuff on the back fold of the collar (clearly shown in the dedicated close-up photo). It is minor and does not affect the overall look when worn, but is mentioned for 100% transparency.

This iconic Burberrys Balmacaan coat represents the golden era of British tailoring from the late 1980s. Originally named after the Balmacaan estate near Inverness in Scotland, this timeless silhouette was engineered for the British aristocracy to withstand harsh Scottish estate weather during outdoor pursuits. Crafted from Burberry’s legendary tightly-woven gabardine blend, this specific 1988 model captures the pinnacle of the decade\'s oversized power-dressing era. Finding a pure-bred Made in England piece with all its original details preserved — like the detachable storm throat latch and functional military-grade pass-through pocket slits — is a true rarity for vintage connoisseurs today.
