Fur Trim Hem Military Coats

Fur Trim Hem Military Coats

Burberry Prorsum combines traditional British outerwear pieces with a modern twist.  The word Prorsum is a Latin adverb meaning 'forwards', or 'onwards'; Burberry use it to differentiate these military coats from their more classic ranges.  High street retailer instantly copy the designs.  Of course the material used at high street level rarely matches the quality fabrics and good stuff Burberry uses, but the mass retailers do a good job of capturing the current fashion mood in this case women's military coats.
The khaki Burberry coat below left sells at £2,030 at Cruise.  The Burberry catwalk coat, above right, costs £1,895 directly from Burberry or matchesfashion.com.  See how the centre and right coat below are less than a twentieth of the price at £75 and £90 respectively.  But of course, they don't carry the Burberry label, nor do they use top end luxury Shearling.  But as the old saying goes - 'Cut your clothes according to your cloth' or in this case according to your purse!
