The appearance of windbreaker was less than 100 years ago. British clothing manufacturer Thomas Barbani (Burberry) was engaged in the clothing fabric business when he was young, and actively developed new varieties. With the help of colleagues, after repeated experiments, he finally made waterproof gabardine (a fine cotton fabric), which made cotton fabric a success in windbreaker and obtained a patent in 1888.

During World War I, Thomas Barbani designed a waterproof windbreaker, with double-breasted and double-buckled, with a belt, an openable collar, raglan sleeves and epaulettes, and a covering on the chest and back to prevent rainwater from penetrating, with a large hem and easy movement. Through the trial, the British army thought that this windbreaker was convenient for soldiers to fight in the rain. 19 18, the British army decided to formally adopt it.
