Thanks for digging around.I'm afraid I've been drawing a blank on the Duffel/Duffle spelling difference, except to say that as a general rule 'Duffle' is applied to bags, 'Duffel' to coats (the design and material of the coat seem to originate in Brabant, which is now part of Belgium). 'Duffle' is also a variant spelling of the coat, but I think it is either simply a misspelling or an attempt at Anglicisation. I think that the 'Duffle Bag' might have originated in the USA.
