And interesting about the scarves - but I understand, turtleneck is such a classic under a duffle. Your duffle coats and styling sound wonderful.</p> <p>La Ped, you must look gorgeous in your olive duffle coat, it is perfect for your style. I was actually thinking that you might like dufffles :-)</p> <p>Sheila, what a great colour, It looks so lovely on you.</p> <p>Jane, I hope you find one you like. Keep us posted!</p> <p>Kkards, you know, I love black. A black duffle would be my choice, too. I got a great deal on the camel, so camel it was :-)</p> <p>Gail, I understand. The fact is that puffers are more comfortable, and often warmer. But duffles are sweet! I hope you give your bright blue a new chance.</p> <p>Bijou, I get it. Where I live, duffle works most of the winter days, but when it gets really cold, it is almost not warm enough. We have very different conditions.</p> <p>LizA, what a lovely coat, and in navy! Beautiful classic.</p> <p>The Cat, thank you for the great suggestions. You are always so kind taking your time and sharing your ideas - I really appreciate it. Bright hosiery - love that! Have to get some for this winter.</p> <p>Cee, yes, I can picture that styling. Love the retro/ classic style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1954185 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 02:09:28 +0000 Cee 1954185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mother wore one over turtlenecks ( and one evil cowlneck ) with flared slacks and jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1954141 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 22:19:02 +0000 The Cat 1954141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't owned a duffle coat for decades, but I like them and will happily wear one again if the right one comes my way. I agree that the styling in your first pic looks fresh and modern. (However, the model's position looks rather akward. ).</p> <p>I imagine that your camel and grey duffle coats would also look great styled with items like:<br /> ● checked trousers<br /> ● blue-red trousers<br /> ● straight skirt in leather or suede<br /> ● bright hosiery<br /> ● loafer sneakers<br /> ● wine booties in leather or suede<br /> ● turtleneck pullover<br /> ● small knitted hat<br /> ● gloves in a fun colour like hot turquoise<br /> ● long winter scarf in multiple colours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1954012 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 15:16:20 +0000 Liz A. 1954012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this Boden version in navy although I love the green in the find too.&nbsp; It is a winter coat for the office for me.&nbsp; Does attract a bit of pet hair.&nbsp; I like that the pockets open both horizontally and vertically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953989 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 13:23:50 +0000 Bijou 1953989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I am a big fan of duffle coats, they are such an iconic style. My problem is that my climate is not cold enough for them. I have had two previously and passed them on because my window for wearing a duffle coat is too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953977 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 12:58:53 +0000 Gail 1953977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a bright blue one from Lands End. I love the color but it just isn't as comfortable as I would like and I tend to reach for my black down puffer all winter. Another downside for me are the pockets, they are very shallow. Perhaps I'll try it again this winter as in theory I really like it ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953957 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 10:46:39 +0000 kkards 1953957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love a duffle coat....i have a black one that i bought during a "OMG is winter ever going to be over" moment a couple of years ago...should have held out for a camel one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953951 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 10:35:41 +0000 jussie 1953951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolute classic imho!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953947 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 10:00:51 +0000 Mainelady 1953947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a good duffel coat (toggles, toggles.....always a fan)! Your long camel one is gorgeous. I always think of them as classic, too. It is fun to see them styled with some sassy fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953910 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 06:14:12 +0000 Jane 1953910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love duffles too and in camel is classic. I looked at the Pendleton web site yesterday and they had a lovely duffle coat and was thinking it could be a super investment.</p> <p>I am looking forward to seeing yours styled!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953892 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 03:51:08 +0000 Sheila 1953892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my duffel coat from Lands End that I bought in 2013. Bought it for our trip to Ireland..here we are at Trinity College Dublin. This coat is quite heavy and I would call it a great buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953889 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 02:57:29 +0000 Jaime 1953889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big fan - and I do think they are always in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953866 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 00:31:16 +0000 rachylou 1953866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bringing back memories!

My grandmother gave me an olive green one from J Crew 15 years ago.

I love the detailing and toggles.<br /> I also like the modern interpretation in the Rag and Bone photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953855 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 23:51:58 +0000 Gaylene 1953855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are camel Gloverall twins!</p> <p>I’ve always had a Gloverall duffle coat in my closet since the 60s—mostly camel, but with a brief foray into navy (80s) and red (90s). All have been worn with a uniform: sweater, pants/jeans, and heeled boots (Fryes mostly). Oddly enough for a scarf lover, I rarely wear one with my Gloverall; I prefer polo neck sweaters or a thin turtleneck worn under a shirt or crewneck seater. And I always carry my stuff in a leather cross-body bag or a sleek backpack—satchel bags look too lady-like for striding over hills! ;)</p> <p>Since it’s hard to wear out a Gloverall, my vintage ones are taken away by younger family members or friends who love the RATE appearance of a well-used duffle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953811 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 20:02:05 +0000 Katerina 1953811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Mirjana for looking and for the compliment.</p> <p>Cee, thanks for your answer.

I really love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953740 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:02:10 +0000 Angie 1953740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another iconic classic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953739 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:01:55 +0000 Angie 1953739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HUGE fan, and yours in KILLER.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duffle-coat#post-1953735 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 15:49:54 +0000 Katerina 1953735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers,</p> <p>I was browsing through Angie’s links in her Trend Report and I saw that Rag &amp; Bone showed a camel duffle coat (see picture). Made me happy, because I have a very similar one from British Gloverall (the second picture) and I recently bought a shorter version in dark grey. Now I really look forward to wearing them.</p> <p>I love the way it is styled in the Rag &amp; Bone picture with the leather pants, animal sneakers and black scarf. I have never thought of duffle coats as particularly modern or trendy, rather as timeless classics, classically styled with checked wool scarves and casual boots etc. But the styling in this picture is so modern and cool.</p> <p>Are there any duffle coat fans out there? What kind of duffle coats do you wear and how do you style them? </p>
