That's a real shame! It does look like a nice coat... but you're right that those gaping tears in the lining are unacceptable. Any company with a return policy ought to be smart enough to take that back... send you a new one in working order as well!
I don't know how common these types of things are where you live, however, I've had good luck finding quality men's coats at my local thrift shop. I found a no-name trench just like yours for $50 USD (25-30 GBP I believe). In any case, I hope you find what you're looking for!
Best of Luck

Don't you be making fun of the Aero Mafia.

After all, your trench coat will probably develop a tear in the lining after some hard wear and the buttons will fall off eventually...

A good idea about a Wanted in the Classifieds. I'll throw something up later and browse ebay.
Mr. Johnson, I'd be very grateful to receive that size 42 Burberry and pay your cost and shipping. My account didn't allow a PM just now but I'd be happy to supply an email and telephone number.H.Johnson said:Vintage Clothing. They are a bid 'young and trendy' but I often visit them and have bought from them quite often. There is a good 1970s Burberry trench coat (in the old heavier and darker khaki cloth) in there at the moment for 30 GBP. It's about a 42" or I'd have it myself.
While in the area, Loungers may want to visit Paul's second-hand clothing stall in St. Martin's Rag Market. Genuine bargains to be had.
