1. duffle coat

   A duffel coat (also duffle coat) is a coat made from duffel cloth, designed with toggle-and-rope fastenings, patched pockets and a large hood. The name derives from Duffel, a town in the province of Antwerp in Belgium where the manufacturing process of this kind of fabric, a coarse, thick, woolen cloth originated. Duffel bags were originally made from the same material. As the hood and toggle fastenings from Polish frocks proved popular, the frock spread across Europe by the 1850s. By 1890 a less sophisticated version was being supplied to the British Royal Navy, from various manufacturers. During World War II all British troops wore the coat, among them Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery and Lieutenant-Colonel Sir David Sterling. After the war, the coats became available in England as government surplus stock and became popular, especially with students. In countries freed by British troops from Nazi-German occupation, wearing the coat also meant a tribute to all troopers that fought in the war and a statement to civilian freedom.

1. Duffle coat

   A duffle coat, or more correctly duffel coat, is a coat made from duffel, a coarse, thick, woollen material. The name derives from Duffel, a town in the province of Antwerp in Belgium where the material originates. Duffle bags were originally made from the same material. There are many varying styles to the duffel coat, although the original British style would be composed of the following features: ⁕Made of genuine double weave Duffel, lined with a woolly tartan pattern, or self-coloured on the wartime version. ⁕A buttonable neck strap ⁕Three, or later, four front wooden or horn toggle-fastenings with rope or leather loops to attach them to. ⁕Two large outside patch pockets, with covering flaps on post-war versions. ⁕Originally knee length, shorter on later versions. ⁕Bucket hood with press stud adjustment, a neater 'pancake' hood on later versions. The wooden toggle-fastenings were made to be easily fastened and unfastened while wearing gloves in cold weather at sea. Current designs have toggles made of buffalo horn, wood or plastic. The oversized hood offered enough room to wear over a Naval cap. After rain, a duffle coat has a characteristic smoky smell.
