The gabardina. No other shelter has the capacity to deal with times, social classes, cultures, without losing a hint of relevance. From the battlefield to the steps, from the black cinema to the street, the gabardina is the only one that is uniform, iconic and basic.
Birth in the trincheras
La gabardina owes its number — and its existence — to the winners of the Primera Guerra Mundial. Antes de ella, los oficiales británicos llevaban pesados abregos de lana, cálidos pero unadapteados a la lluvia y al barro. Burberry equipped the British oficials with its gabardina - an apretado, hidrófugo ligament fabric.
Every detail of the gabardina will respond to a concrete problem: the shadows to subject the correa of the rifle, the anillas of the belt to attach the team, the lenses in the puños to avoid that the water will suffer.
How to choose your gabardina
The long classic llega lowers the rodilla. The beige color is the reference, but a navy blue or khaki has more character. The cotton gabardina is the most original. A cashmere version transformed it into a lightweight winter jacket.
