toggle coat

Loop-fastened winter jacket

A toggle coat is a heavy overcoat fastened with toggle closures—loop-and-peg fastenings rather than buttons or zippers.

The style derives from British naval duffle coats, typically featuring a hood and made of thick wool.

She buttoned up her toggle coat against the wind.
