duffle coats
Hooded toggle outerwear
A duffle coat is a hooded wool coat fastened with toggle buttons that loop through rope or leather closures rather than conventional buttons and buttonholes.
The design originated as outerwear for British naval personnel, valued for its warmth and ease of fastening with cold or gloved hands.
Duffle coats typically fall to mid-thigh length and feature large patch pockets.
