One of the most iconic, lasting images of the duffle coat is on childrens’ character Paddington Bear. This beloved anthropomorphised bear hails from Peru to the Central London train station, accompanied only by a battered suitcase, old red hat and bright blue duffle coat. David Bowie wears the coat in the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth, his outfit meant to signify his otherworldliness.

Since the 20th  century, the duffle coat has been made of a heavy, coarse woolen fabric. Ours features a roomy box-cut with a hood, a square shoulder yoke, and large patch pockets. The distinctive plaid lining is cozy and comfy, securing the front are leather fasteners and wooden toggle closures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe duffle coat was an attractive option for the Navy during WWII, especially because they were easily interchangeable, acting as a recognisable uniform. All seamen, no matter their position, wore the same coat. The coat was warm enough to wear in winter, and would provide good protection from harsh rainfall. By the end of the war, almost all soldiers, not just seamen, were wearing this universal coat. One of the most famous officers who sported the duffle coat at this time was Field Marshal Montgomery. Well-known as ‘Monty’ (inspired the duffle coat nickname), he fought in both the First and Second World Wars. To wear the duffle coat both during and after the war was to embody the courageous spirit of British victory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s and ‘60s, the duffle coats became an iconic fashion item. A favourite with protestors and bohemians, the once-military uniform achieved peak popularity fighting against the establishment for the reception of new ideas. This more modern, lightweight duffle coat was easily transported to the US and Canada, as well as all over Europe, becoming the coat of choice for free-thinking students and intellectuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe duffle coat is one of the most important fashion garments of the twentieth century.
