Dior Homme Duffle Coat
Because I keep an ear to the proverbial ground regarding fashion I have noticed a certain influx in the last few seasons of duffle coats. Duffle coats, not shockingly, are coats made from duffle, a coarse woollen material. The name derives from Duffel, a town in the province of Antwerp where the material originates.
Coincidentally, duffle bags were originally made from the same material, the only version I have seen was made of canvas. I also learned that the toggles are designed to be easily fastened and unfastened while wearing gloves in cold weather at sea. I think it is safe to say that due to their militaristic/uniform style they had become prevalent in fashion other than the obvious shelter aspect.
As I have noticed these coats are usually quite expensive and often look billowy, hence my not having one. Were I affluent I would certainly purchase the slimmer version by Dior Homme. If you would describe yourself as such, purchase here for roughly (I mean that quite literally) 1300 Euro.
