When it gets really brisk out there, pair your duffle with a tartan scarf for the ultimate contrasting look that works well in both formal and informal settings.
Or, for the same look, consider a duffle coat with a contrasting tartan hood. What you wear with a duffle coat will entirely depend on the occasion and season. For casual wear in the winter, you can never go wrong with a pair of slim or straight leg jeans and a thick-knit jumper.
Comfortable enough for a brisk, long countryside walk but smart enough for a posh lunch afterwards. Both are crafted from the most sumptuous British Merino wool or lambswool and available in plenty of staple colours.
In the warmer months, you can wear our Spring-Summer Mersey Duffle with anything from chino shorts to pinafore dresses. The contemporary, tech fabrics can also be dressed down with other sportswear such as joggers and sweatshirts for a complete streetwear ensemble. For formal occasions, our longline duffle coats are ideal for throwing over cocktail dresses and suits during the winter.
Our Original Monty Duffle Coat, available for men and women , has an oversized fit which is ideal for wearing suit jackets or evening gowns. Given its timeless style, the Monty can be worn for countless casual or formal occasions as a true staple piece in your wardrobe. Transform an ordinary t-shirt and skinny jeans combination with a camel duffle coat.
Camel toned coats have been so incredibly on-trend for the past few years and they show no sign of slowing down in popularity. This lighter shade of brown is the perfect in-between for casual and smarter wear. For a neutral, off-beat monochrome outfit, pair your camel duffle coat with our Ullac x Gloverall Ecru Trousers and a crisp white t-shirt. The neutral beige tones can uplift any ordinary outfit and the streetwear silhouette of the painter trousers provides the perfect contrast to the otherwise classic Monty coat.
Other elements of sport style backpacks, baseball caps, not even speaking of soft training trousers are also out of question. Voluminous chunky knitted sweaters suit the duffle coat very well for it is also a marine attribute loved by the fishermen in northern seas.
However, it is not a strict rule — you can also wear the duffle coat over a three-piece suit. In general, the duffle coat will perfectly suit the look of a successful serviceman or businessman. On the contrary, it will add you some casual charm of calm strength and confident courage. Much ado about nothing, methinks. I've been wearing a duffel coat for 30 plus years, generally with a sport coat and tie. Gloverall makes the traditional ones which are a lot different than the one posted by the OP.
Hey guys, thank you for the replies. To avoid some confusion. The women I asked were other foreigners who are living in Japan. However this motivated me to ask what my Japanese female friends thought as well as looking at everyday people on my way to work, to see who is wearing duffle coats and here are my responses: friend 1: it makes you look young like a student friend 2: i like duffle coats its cute, i bought one too friend 3: both male and females wear it, but mostly women here friend 4: duffle coats are worn by jr high and high school students, thats why its associated with youth.
Semper Jeep Senior Member. There seems to be two recurring discussions every fall and winter regarding toggle coats: They are too feminine. They are only appropriate for children or students. I think the traditional length ones like the standard Gloverall Duffel Coat are timeless and I wear mine all winter long often over a suit as well and have never been at the receiving end of snide remarks.

I love toggle coats, but they are most definitely for casual wear. As Semper Jeep pointed out, a Gloverall Duffel is timeless, and a piece that you should own if you live in a cold weather climate.

The shipping seems reasonable for such a bulky item. Yesterday I finally decided to buy a coat. I went to a Japanese brand store here and the lady suggested to get a pea-coat over a duffle coat because most of the customers buying duffles here are high school students. I think I am all set for winter! TrevorBrisance Starting Member.
I'd be very wary, while this isn't a duffle coat it illustrates the danger of wearing a more casual coat with a suit. It's Michael Foot at a Remembrance Day service, making it even more inappropriate. It did almost as much damage to his political career as his ridiculous policy ideas. Kingstonian Super Member.

After the war, surplus military clothes were released to the public where they gained mainstream popularity.
Celebrities like Jean Cocteau, Jack Nicholson, and David Bowie especially helped to bring the duffle coat into the spotlight in the 60s and 70s. Since then the duffle coat has continued to be a menswear staple.
The original navy duffle coats were much bulkier than modern duffle coats. The fit has been greatly streamlined but they still have a rather boxy fit.
It should be just fitted enough, or else you run the risk of looking like Paddington bear. The shoulder seam should end where your shoulder ends. The sleeve should hit above your knuckles, or be long enough to cover any sleeves worn underneath.
Basically, you should be able to move around comfortably while still having the coat look fitted. There is no standard length so just find what is right for you. A longer duffle coat offers more coverage, but might make your legs look shorter depending on your height. A mid-thigh length duffle coat is considered a universally flattering length, as it is long enough to cover any under layers and keeps your legs looking proportionate to the rest of your body.
You can wear a duffle coat for many different occasions, but here are our suggestions below.
