My early 1940 went off to a Gent in the USA earlier this year. A real beauty of a coat.
Awesome pictures, Dr. D.
I've failed at scouring the internet for a genuine surplus RN Duffle Coat, and I'm almost at the point where I'm going to buy a modern version. Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Nauticalia duffle coat?
Alright...thanks for your two cents!Good find - a made in England wool duffel coat is hard to find these days. I'm sure its a superb coat for the price - and in a world of China made goods, this one stands out from the crowd!
Has anyone ever heard about the brand? I found positivley nothing on the net...
ciao!
Years ago my brother gave me this duffle coat that didn't fit him anymore, and I'm wearing it with pleasure:
hood regulation:
sleeve (it actually has two buttons, one is underside the latch as I buttoned the sleeve to the "tighter" one)
label:
It's probably not 100% legitimate as WWII repro (which is not) but still quite close, I thing.
Well, anyway it's warm, comfortable, and a gift, so...
it's quite roomy and it easily reaches my knees.

Thank you GuyGardner!
Duffle coats are definitely stylish, they somehow manage to mix the elegance of an overcoat, the romantic aura of the war hero, and the comfort of a practical garment, hood and all... I guess I'm gonna wear it a lot... next winter , as temperatures suddenly rose today! I could barely tolerate a sweater
