Rick Blaine

In Casablanca's climactic airport farewell, Rick Blaine stands on the fog-shrouded airfield at night wearing his tan trench coat and fedora beside the waiting plane. As he tells Ilsa Lund she must leave with Victor Laszlo for her safety and for Laszlo's cause, the coat remains central through the goodbye and its immediate aftermath. After the plane departs and Rick shoots Major Strasser, Captain Louis Renault joins him on the runway, turning the scene from private heartbreak into the beginning of their quiet alliance.

Trench Coat

About This Product

The coat is best identified as a classic Burberry gabardine trench coat. Burberry, founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856, developed its weatherproof outerwear around gabardine, the breathable, water-resistant fabric he invented in 1879 and later patented in 1888. Burberry was commissioned by the British War Office in 1914 to adapt its Tielocken coat for military use, helping establish the trench coat's enduring design. In Casablanca, Rick Blaine wears a tan full-length gabardine trench with a double-breasted front, wide lapels, belted waist, structured collar, cuff straps, storm flaps, deep pockets, and military-inspired details such as epaulettes—features closely associated with Burberry's wartime and immediate postwar trench designs.
