Lucky are those who can show their warm shoulders in their duffle coat in the cold, wet weather. The practical, three-quarter length garment with over 100 years of history never goes out of style.duffle coat_sterlingSir David Stirling, founder of the legendary British elite unit SAS, even wore his duffle coat in the North African desertHowever, the origin of this coat with the supposedly British appearance lies in Belgian Flanders. The first men to use the coat made of coarse wool were Belgian fishermen. Wrapped in the heavy and warm fabric woven in the town of Duffel, they braved the cold winds and tides of the North Sea.At the end of the nineteenth century, the British Royal Navy discovered the practical coat for its officers and sailors. The wide, straight cut offered sufficient freedom of movement for activities on board, even with warm clothing worn underneath. Under the large hood there was room for warm wool hats or sou'westers. However, one of the most striking characteristics of the duffle coat is the toggle closure made of wood or horn, which was easy to open and close even when wearing thick gloves. Two large patch pockets rounded off the practical coat.duffle coat_wwIBritish submarine operator in WW1 world warIn England, the duffle coat is also called "Montgomery" and "Monty coat", which goes back to the legendary Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, who fought in World War II. World War I was a big fan of the coat. After its "career" in two world wars, large stocks of military duffle coats were sold to private individuals after 1945.In the 1950s and 1960s, students in England and France in particular liked the practical and inexpensive jackets from army stocks. While left-wing intellectual students in Europe saw the duffle coat as one of their anti-establishment trademarks, in the Northeastern United States more elite Ivy League students found the look of the duffle coat appealing.The duffle coat has meanwhile experienced a real renaissance. Fashion designers like Tommy Hilfiger have included the preppy style coat as a standard in their collections.For friends of traditional duffle coats, the British company Gloverall has been offering the coat as a timeless classic for over 60 years.A duffle coat – contemporary or passé?The younger ones among us will probably first google the duffle coat - hence the definition from Wikipedia: "The duffle coat is a three-quarter-length, single-breasted coat with a hood and toggle fasteners made of horn or wood." Don't worry: the toggle fasteners have nothing in common with straitjackets and fulfill the function of the gagging only relates to the special type of button - that's it.Ultimately, it is a model that managed to be purchased and worn for decades in a consistent manner not only by the average consumer, but also by well-known personalities. He has become a classic. It is impossible for such people to become “out”; they continue to exist independently of the fashion designers, no matter how many competitors fill the shop windows.The duffle coat from the revolutionaries in the 19th century Century to the classic todayAs a classic, the men's duffle coat has a small history - albeit with a few question marks: Duffle is a Belgian city south of Antwerp. The cut is said to have been created based on the "Pekesche", a uniform jacket worn by the Polish army in the 19th century. Century. In 1830 they established this in Prussia. In the context of the November Uprising, it was probably a kind of dress code for student associations and in this respect expressed a message.Influences also come from the "habit" - a still common clothing for Catholic monks. As such, the duffle coat shows neither one nor the other. An association can no longer be made with it today. Also interesting is the resemblance to typical Eskimo jackets, which is more obvious, but historically no evidence of influences seems to have been found. During the Second World War, the duffle coat found an important fan: Bernard Montgomery, a British officer, gave the duffle coat a short name, but the term "Monty" was not able to establish itself in the long term.Monty or duffle coat - as a timeless classic around the world, it is constantly given the presence it deserves, even if it does not play the leading role on the big catwalks. Rather, there are countless variants that were designed based on the original and retain the most important points. New fabrics, perhaps trendier cuts and innovations in processing are always included. Its advantage of timelessness is retained in the classic version. Here, too, models can be compared and you can realize your individual taste a bit Differences: Original and related models Its three-quarter length is a traditional feature of the duffle coat, but not a must. You can also find jackets in the same style, which are not among the classics, but are also popular. There are countless offers that only cover the buttocks, although everything else remains the same. The cut is basically straight and slightly fitted. However, three distinguishing features of a duffle coat always remain the same: the hood, large sewn-on pockets and its toggle fasteners. That makes sense, because the large pockets create a warm place for your hands, even with gloves, and the hood protects your head, ears and neck from the cold. Also: A zip means just one more wearing part. If it no longer works properly, even the best jacket can no longer be used unless you put in a new one. So today rather illusory. But if part of the toggle closure comes off, it can be quickly sewn back on. Easy handling of the closure is guaranteed even with the thickest gloves. With small buttons that would often be an impossibility. Something was thought of when the duffle coat was developed. Back then, a long lifespan was a must for clothes - today you have to look for models that really make their purchase worthwhile in the long term. The heavy wool fabrics also only allow moisture to penetrate very slowly. With its purchase you are fit for winter. When worn, the leisure area and informal occasions are covered. However, caution is required when making business appointments. Colors, physical emphasis and limitations in wearing When it comes to colors, you are welcome to fall back on trends and your own taste. Of course, natural colors and black, gray and white tones dominate. Although there are also a few duffle coats in trendy colors, they completely override the classic effect. Hoods always emphasize the shoulders. Anyone who welcomes this effect, such as rather delicately built men, is doing a good thing to wear such cuts. If you want to dress more like a bear anyway, you should avoid hoods. When spending leisure time on winter days, however, the warming effect is certainly predominant, so this consideration is probably enough to fall back on a piece of clothing when strolling through the city. It just depends on your needs and your own priorities. Belonging to casual and jeans fashion, the duffle coat is worn with the large range of jeans and corduroy trousers, chinos and its use in the working world is basically adequate. However, the higher you have climbed the "floors" of a bank, for example, the more restricted the duffle coat should be taken to the office. Just as all types of leather or down jackets and coats are supposed to give way to restrained coats in subtle colors, all casual shapes are frowned upon. Conclusion on the men's duffle coat But that doesn't mean that the men's duffle coat can't come from the finest house and the prices can't even surpass even the hippest designer jackets. Although it is geared towards leisure activities, good old Monty still demonstrates a high level of style awareness. But don't worry: High-quality alternatives in a smaller budget are also evidence of this. When considering the purchase decision in favor of a classic, the focus is on the immanent timelessness and stable workmanship. The functionality on cold days is also hard to beat. So if you don't just fall back on a ridiculously low-priced model from a bad company, you won't experience any nasty surprises and will benefit from your purchase in the long term. Many appreciate the lack of trendy "junk". The sometimes heavily criticized fur hoods, which are produced in an ethically dubious manner and almost flood the masses with the heavy use of chemical additives, cannot hold a candle to the character of the duffle coat. The classic Monty does not change and can only remain true to its well-known quality in its original variant: the timelessness and superiority on cold days due to the inherent details.Deutsch : Duffle Coat HistoryJust like the trench coat, there are manifold variations of the duffle coat today, and while all are perfectly fine to wear, it is interesting to know the origins of the garment and how it obtained the characteristic hood and toggle buttons. Notably, the duffle coat remains the only coat in a classic gentleman's wardrobe today that has a hood. Although similar hoods were long used in menswear dating back to early Christian monk's habits, the hooded duffle coat as we know it today dates back to the 19th century.Belgian Origins of the Term 'Duffel'The most common myth about the origins of the Duffle is that the coat is of Belgian heritage. The Belgian town of Duffel in the province of Antwerp was known as a clothmaking town in the 15th century that exported its cloth all over Europe. The “duffel” fabric itself was a black, rough woolen fabric, and the duffle coat was in fact named after it. However, the duffle coat itself was never produced in the namesake city, nor was it made from Duffel fabricMany claim that the English borrowed the Belgian term to create the duffle coat as we know it today, and while it is correct that the English military and especially Sir Bernard “Monty” Montgomery and Sir David Stirling, founder of the SAS, popularized this garment during WWII, the British origins of this toggle closure overcoat can be traced back to 1887. At the time, John Partridge, a British purveyor of outerwear, began to design and offer the duffle coat for sale. The look back then was quite different from today, though it already featured the characteristic wooden toggles. The coat was shorter and cut very roomy with a slightly angled toggle front closure, which looks similar to vintage motorcycle jackets.A few years later, the Royal British Navy was searching for a hard-wearing, sailor-proof coat, and so the British Admiralty commissioned the duffle coat, which turned out to be a great success and was after that worn on military ships around the world.Even though John Partridge designed the British duffle coat, he clearly was inspired by the Polish “frock” coat. It was first introduced around 1820 and gained some popularity in continental Europe in the 1850's. Just like the modern duffle coat, it was tailored with a hood and a horizontal toggle closure. Of course, back then pockets were not part of a coat, and was worn more closely fitted than the bulky cut of the British Navy, but nevertheless, there is a great resemblance. Toggle closures have rarely been used in menswear for the last 200 years.The duffle coat probably reached peak popularity during the 1950's – 1960's for several reasons. First of all, Field Marshal Montgomery had helped to create an iconic look during World War II, which is why the duffle is to this day also known as a Monty in the UK. As such, it does not surprise that he was even made into a wax figure - wearing the Monty coat, of course. So, Colonel David Sterling liked his coat so much that he even wore it in the desert! After the war, the military released surplus duffle coats to the public, and artists, students, and intellectuals wore them. Jean Cocteau popularized his very own version in white. As a consequence, mothers would dress their children in them, raincoats adapted the duffle cut and the Dutch men's fashion publication SIR published an article titled “The Monty-Coat Forever”.Farid Chenoune, author of the book Men's Fashion History, claims it was often worn with former naval sweaters, a college scarf, and corduroy trousers, but based on the many pictures I have seen from that period, I can say that it was worn with all kinds of garments, suits, and even tuxedos!After the coat had reached the peak of its popularity, it never came close to the same level of success again. You will still see duffle coats on the street today, even though these models are often fashion interpretations of the original, far from the real thing.Duffle Coat Details & CharacteristicsSince the 20th century, a duffle coat is made of a heavy, coarse woolen fabric. It features a roomy box-cut with a hood, a square shoulder yoke, and large patch pockets with hemp rope and wooden toggle closures.As mentioned above, this coat got its name, though indirectly, from the Belgian city of Duffel and the rough and heavy linen and woolen cloth produced there. As a side note, this is also the fabric used for the original duffle bag. Although the coat bears its name, it was never actually used for the duffle coat production. Instead, a similarly heavy 34 oz per yard (1050 grams per meter) of double-faced, boiled woolen cloth with a twill structure (similar to Serge) was used. As of 1900, the British Admiralty demanded that all fabric including the wool had to be British, and so only domestic cloth was used. The original color for military duffle coats was camel beige, but in the early 20th century, khaki and brown versions were used. However, the navy was not used until the thirties. In the fifties, navy blue and other colors became more popular with the public, and today you can find them in almost any color including red, racing green, olive green, gray, fawn, yellow, white…If you look at the picture of Monty, you can see that the coat has a thick nap similar to the Casentino cloth. I think this was simply an effect that came with the age of the woolen fabric since new duffle coats did seem to have it.In 1950, the Englishman Harold Morris and his wife Freda, who were already in the glove and overall business for blue collar workers, bought some surplus duffle coat fabric from the Navy along with some duffle coats and recreated them for workers. However, when the demand plummeted, they refocused on the consumer market with great success and became well known as the Gloverall brand – an amalgamation of gloves and overall. Instead of the original fabric, they used a 34 oz Tyrolean Loden fabric. Loden is a great fabric for outdoor use because its woven base is felted afterwards, providing the cloth with a water repellent finish that is very hard wearing.HistoryThe exact origins of the duffle coat are unconfirmed. However, it is generally accepted that the contemporary 'British' duffle coat was designed in the 1850s by John Partridge, a British purveyor of outerwear. Partridge's original duffle coats were shorter and even roomier than modern duffle coats, and it is theorized that he was inspired by Polish 'frock coats' of the early nineteenth century. The Polish frock coat featured wide toggle closures and a large 'bucket' hood, two archetypal duffle coat hallmarks.The duffle coat is thought to be named after the Belgian town of Duffel, known for producing a thick woolen cloth known as 'Duffel Cloth'. This heavyweight cloth was similar to that used for the British duffle coats made by John Partridge.The Navy purchased large quantities of the duffle coat in the late nineteenth century. Referred to by servicemen as the 'convoy coat', the first military-issue duffle coats came in a camel-brown colorway. The duffle coat was engineered to meet the needs of Naval officers embarking on long voyages in frozen conditions. As well as being a roomy outer layer that could easily fit over a military uniform, the duffle coat's large toggles allowed seamen to easily fasten the coat while wearing thick gloves and the oversized hood could fit over a naval cap. The densely woven woolen cloth was naturally water-resistant and the spacious patch pockets could easily hold binoculars and other naval equipment. After its success in the navy, the duffle coat soon became standard issue to all military services and was famously sported by the esteemed General Bernard 'Monty' Montgomery who served in both World Wars. ---This is 100% authentic; I sell many designer items, all with great reviews, so please check my feedback for reassurance.
