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.
