Buying a Duffle Coat

The Duffle coat is a classic, practical, single-breasted coat with distinctive buttons or ‘walrus tusk toggles’, so called because they resemble the teeth of the glorious sea mammal.

Like many iconic fashions, the duffle coat was created by no single individual, and no designer can lay claim to it. Instead, the modern duffle forms part of the rich history and culture of British sailors and fishermen. This maritime link extends into military history too, the coats having been worn by the British Royal Navy in cold northern latitudes. The relaxed fit, large buttons or toggles that can be fastened and unfastened whilst wearing gloves, and the large wide hood, were all created for comfort and ease at sea and in port. Though the duffle coat will always retain this link to the sea, the coat has come a long way. These days duffle coats are found on urban streets and at fashion shows, as often as among boats and sails.
