There's been quite a few peacoat threads, I'd suggest searching first. Not in a prickish sense at all because I have yet to see a mens peacoat in this style, but I haven't scoured the peacoat threads either...you might find something worthwhile there though.

That's not a peacoat, but a duffle coat. (A peacoat is double breasted with no hood and large lapel (for putting up against inclement weather while shipboard.) They are both usually both made out of boiled wool though.) Engineered Garments had a pretty cool take on a duffle (www.engineeredgarments.com.) they call the "Monty" The classic (it's longer though, about knee length) is by Gloverall. There are usually versions on sale at www.sierratradingpost.com. More version are available at traditional places like J. Press, or from the Gloverall site (www.gloverall.com, irrc). If you want a designer version, I believe that there is still a Margiela model on their winter sale (for a ridiculously low price given how much Margiela usually cost at www.yoox.com. That version falls about mid thigh. The Engineered Garment version runs large, as does the Gloverall (they are meant for thick layering)

That's not a DUFFLE COAT, it's a Duffel Coat - named for the town in Belgium where they originated. So there

^^ God damn, that is a really nice coat. I am going to Japan next week, do you know where I could get it in person there? What brand is it (UA?)?

My bad spelling + shitty keyboard. Gets me eevry time.

[LA Guy]

I'm not sure About the brand (UA), but my gut reaction is that UA is a house brand for United Arrows. Could be totally wrong though. I'm going on nothing here.

That is a really nice Duffel though....

Gloverall is the classic duffle (and according to them it is spelled duffle) coat maker.

I have a Spiewak Duffle coat in brown...

It comes in black, but I can't seem to find any online.

This is my Duffel Coat (The other guy is right about the spelling) from triple5. With detachable fur around the hoodie. Only saw it for a month last November in the Lafayette store. Light brown satin lining, real bone toggles and nicely made and detailed. Was $300.

Re spelling. It's English vs. American spelling, like "centre" vs. "center" and "colour" vs. "color". Both are correct.

[Adrian Wilson]

LA Guy,

Seems you're right.

I think H2B was just kidding with you anyway, from his other posts I think he is a bit of a textile history expert.

BTW My Duffel is woven tweed
