Question: is burberrys of london the same as burberry

Answer: Yes, Burberry was founded in 1856 when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry, 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 1879, Burberry introduced in his brand the gabardine, a hardwearing, water-resistant yet breathable fabric, in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. ``Burberry'' was the original name until it became ``Burberrys'', due to many customers from around the world began calling it ``Burberrys of London''. In 1999, the name was reverted to the original, ``Burberry''. However, the name ``Burberrys of London'' is still visible on many older Burberry products. In 1891, Burberry opened a shop in the Haymarket, London. Before being termed as trench, it was known as the Tielocken worn by the British officers and featured a belt with no buttons, was double breasted, and protected the body from neck to knees.
