What Makes Aquascutum Special?
Aquascutum stands as the original inventor of waterproof wool, predating Burberry by creating the world’s first waterproofed textile at the yarn-making stage rather than surface coating. While Burberry uses their famous nova check pattern, Aquascutum features the distinctive Club Check pattern based on traditional English gun club check designs used for hunting.
The brand’s trench coats gained legendary status during both World Wars, providing waterproof protection to British officers in the trenches. Today, Aquascutum maintains its reputation for superior craftsmanship through models like the Kingsway, Broadgate, and Bogart – each representing decades of refined tailoring expertise and technical innovation.
Popular Aquascutum Models
The Broadgate remains Aquascutum’s most iconic trench coat, featuring the classic single-breasted design with concealed button closure, storm flaps, and the signature Club Check lining. Constructed from showerproof cotton-polyester blend, it offers versatility for both formal and casual occasions.
Other essential models include:
Berkeley Raincoat – The navy colourway classic in water-resistant cotton blend
Kingsway – The sophisticated double-breasted trench with contemporary Aquatech fabric
Bogart – The longer luxury trench coat favoured by discerning customers
Leighton – The sleek stainless-collar model perfect for versatile styling
J-Rover – Raincoat with removable wool liner for all-season wear
How Do Aquascutum Sizes Fit?
Aquascutum generally follows standard UK sizing with consistent measurements across their range. The brand provides detailed size guides covering chest measurements from 34″ (XS) through 44-45″ (XXL), with corresponding waist measurements for trousers and tailored pieces.
For the best fit, measure your chest at the fullest point and waist at your natural waistline. Aquascutum’s tailored heritage cuts can run slightly more fitted than modern casual brands, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider ordering one size up from your usual size. Their trench coats are designed to layer over suits and knitwear comfortably.

Caring for Your Aquascutum Garments
Proper care maintains Aquascutum’s luxury fabrics and construction. For trench coats and rainwear, spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the waterproof treatments and internal structure.
Care essentials include:
Professional dry cleaning for trench coats and wool garments
Gentle spot cleaning with mild soap for minor marks
Air drying away from direct heat sources
Proper hanging on shaped hangers to maintain silhouette
Periodic reproofing treatments for waterproof garments
Store Aquascutum pieces properly by hanging coats on padded hangers in a cool, dry wardrobe space. The Club Check lining should be allowed to breathe, and avoid prolonged compression which can affect the garment’s tailored shape and water-resistant properties.
