At least he wan't selling guns or child porn. (the wrong thread for either, obvs)
Now there's an idea - Can we have duffels repositioned alongside these evils?

I got one for Christmas, but have never taught geography in my life. I'm very pleased with it; it's warm, and I think I cut quite a dash.
I have shrunk plenty of wool things over the years, never a coat though. I wouldn't wash a wool coat because you can't get a good finish on it afterwards.I would say wot? What is the point of a coat that needs dry cleaned?? This suggests to me it would not be suitable for wet weather. I live on the NE coast so it'd be a waste of time for meLondon seems to get it's fair share of wetness too, just saying.
Though I don't understand why they always say dry clean only on wool. How many shrunken sheep do you see??
I wish I could stop looking at this thread, I DO NOT NEED A DUFFEL COAT

How does the practicality compare to Tweed and other woollen clothes ?

This is my Merrell duffle coat. It is seriously the warmest coat I have ever had - I walked to work yesterday in the snow with just a t-shirt undernesath, and I had sweaty patches under my arms when I got in. It has to be at least zero degrees before I contemplate wearing it, as it is just too hot otherwise.

I bought a blue Harbour duffel coat at Xmas , good bit of retro imo.

How can brand spawned by a post-2000 restructuring be considered any sort of retro?

That is exactly what retro is about

I will have a rummage for you, there may be one in a cupboard somewhere. If there is you are welcome to it but postage would be appreciated. Do you skype? You could see it that way and decide if you want it(if it's still there)
Gem, I would love it if it's a Montgomery, size 10, red, navy blue or green
not fussy or out. Don't mind if it's a bit worn

You're confusing style or influence/impact of style with those who might produce or manufacture it.

It's none of them. I think I bought it in Woolies about 30 yrs ago and I'm pretty sure it's black. Shall I bother to look or not?
No it's ok but thank you. I don't need one, I just saw some photos of nice coloured ones and started lusting
