If any of you gentlemen would be willing to help, I'd appreciate an opinion on a Burberrys' trench bought on a second-chance ebay offer...tag says "Made In England" on both the coat and the liner (blue Burberrys' label), it has a style #/size tag in the pocket that says "Burberrys' London", has "Burberrys' " tags designating materials on both the jacket (50/50) and liner (100% wool) and also has the brass rings and leather buckle on the belt.

My concern is that the jacket looks and feels "too new" to be vintage and I'm concerned about authenticity - if anyone has any insight/experience they can offer I would really appreciate it. ...thanks

You got raped!! I see same trenchcoat in the thriftstore ALL the time. Those trenchcoats werent as expensive back then or something but anything that says burrberry's instead of burberry I consider an easy find. Stuff is clogging the thrifts where I live so much I thought it was fake burbberry.
