Burberry Trench Sizing Question

[kcbags]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in finally treating myself to a trench! Most likely pre-loved though, which means I can't try it on & I don't have an opportunity to try them on in store.

I'm looking at the Kensington Heritage Trench, medium length. How do you guys find the Kensington to fit? I know it's supposed to be roomier, so would you say it runs small or true to size. I usually take a medium coat, US 6 dress size. I'm 5'8. Would a UK 8 be too snug?

Thanks!

I have the same coat and went up one size from my normal dress size eg) I’m a US 6 but bought the US8 and it fits perfectly

Thank you so much!

I actually made the trek to a Nordstrom to try the coats on and I actually found the Kensington true to size as a 6! I'm a true six in general. I think the shoulders might be tight for layering with something thick but the arms were weirdly baggy on the 8. Just some advice for anyone else who might be searching!

I had to go down a size with Kensington so I ended up with the Sandringham. Old heritage collection though, haven’t tried the new ones.

The Kensington fits a little big, I went a size down comfortably (but I like coats more snug.) I think the UK size 8 will be a good fit for you if you plan to layer and like a looser fit. UK size 6 is what I got as a US dress size 6 and 5’9”.

You can always try them on in store and find the same or similar fit pre loved! In general though I think Burberry runs big.

Most of their trenchcoats really come quite big

I’m 5’3”, 125 lbs and purchased the Kensington in a US 6. I wear XS tops and a size 2 jean. The arms are a bit long, but the coat fits beautifully elsewhere. Make sure it’s big enough to wear a sweater underneath. I’m a bit busty, so I had to size up to accommodate. Good luck!
