Hi Callum @ace7 do you know when the new size charts will be available? Seems they are currently almost completely absent from the website?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Quick question: what's the consensus around the DBF x Gloverall duffle coat?
I'm not sure whether to buy this one, or a more 'classic' Gloverall duffle coat in navy or camel. Ultimately, it's up to personal taste, of course, but I'd appreciate any thoughts/comments, thanks :)

I don't usually like eye-catching patterns on coats myself, which is why I would stick to the classic colors. I think DBF also had a brown duffle coat. I have one from S.E.H Kelly and am very happy with it.

Selling a beautiful granddad coat in Portuguese wool, featuring an undyed herringbone weave. Size 50. Never worn, brand new with tag.

Unfortunately, it's a size too big for me, and I missed the return window last year due to travel. Incredible piece, but no point in keeping it if I can’t wear it.

Asking $1100. Let me know if you're interested!

I have the Shepard's Check version and I like but have to be in the mood for it as it's definitely a statement piece. The wool is coarse with a loose weave is so wind will pass right though and I usually pair it with the Dehen 1920 shawl sweater. I get a compliment usually every time I wear it so if you want to be low key, pick another jacket.

For comparison, my wife has a YSL duffle coat and I have a Weatherwool peacoat, they are absolute wind stoppers and the wool is soft enough to wear against bare skin.

I love DBF, but I’ve always been partial to plain navy duffle

Can anyone (on the DBF team or otherwise) speak to if and how much shrinkage one should expect from the cotton-yak shirting? I'd cold wash and hang dry. Thanks!

Hey there !

To answer your question, according to the technical data sheet, you can expect shrinkage of 2.6% in height and 1.6% in width after washing (30°c max) but the fabric will not move when it's dry-cleaned.:)

This is the De Bonne Facture Grandad coat in camelhair Ratine (I have never heard of it, but it looks sort of Casentino).

Wow, absolutely classic jacket from season -18 (?) out on eBay. Super rare. I was close buying it last time a couple of years ago.

But is the length measure in the ad really correct, only 71 cm?


I ended up winning that auction from LuxeSwap. It measures 28" in length so the ad was correct. Most comparable SC that I own is a Boglioli K jacket that is an inch longer but also a size bigger/54.
