Thomas Burberry (1835 – 1926), a former draper’s apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870
the business had established itself by focusing on the development of outdoors attire. In 1880 Burberry invented gabardine, a
hardwearing, water-resistant yet breathable fabric, in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. Gabardine was patented
in 1888. Burberry was the original name, but then soon switched to Burberrys, after many customers from around the world
began calling it Burberrys of London. This name is still visible on many older Burberry products.
