If I had $3,000...

...okay, I still wouldn't spend it on a trench coat. But if I was going to spend that much on a trench coat, it would be this one:

Burberry Floral cotton gabardine trench coat in Antique green, $3,295

Or maybe this slightly more subtle version:

Burberry Floral cotton gabardine trench coat in Honey, $3,595

And if those don't strike your fancy, maybe one of these will:

Burberry Floral cotton gabardine trench coat in Elderberry, $2,995,  and Teal, $2,995.

Burberry Mirror-embellished trench coat in Dark burgundy, $15,000.

In case you missed it, that one on the right is actually $15,000.

But Burberry at least puts that money to good use, supporting sustainable farming in Peru, emphasizing environmentally friendly building practices, donating 1% of pre-tax profit to charities, setting out clear codes of conduct for manufacturing and sourcing, and more. Read all about it at Burberry's Corporate Responsibility page.

You can find Burberry coats on consignment sites like Threadflip for a little less money, although sadly none of the gabardine beauties above--at least, not yet. But I did find this charmer for $288:

"Authentic Wool Burberry Coat," $288 at Threadflip

What's the most you would spend on a lightweight coat?
