Roll On Winter

It may well be scorching hot outside as I have just taken delivery of a smashing tan Gloverall duffel coat ready for winter. I always like to buy ahead of the season- feeling prepared makes me happy. I already have a Gloverall in tan, but I there's nothing like breaking out a new winter coat. The old one will have to go on ebay. I think I need help.

I know a duffel can be a Marmite item, but I love them. Add to the undoubted quality of them these couple of cultural references and I think all arguments have been answered:


Trevor Howard in 'The Third Man'


Jack Hawkins in 'The Cruel Sea'

I'll be sure to post up my take on the Gloverall look when the weather turns.

Saw an advert for these pricks earlier. They charge 2950% APR. How is that even legal?
