I don't like the looks of the 3/16 duffle, gloverall is just so dope in all respects (love the pockets too) but it's a shame they keep making them out of shittier and shittier fabric as time goes on or I'd cop one. They look so dope in a streetwear sense and throwing over a suit if you're into that. I wish they weren't garbage man, need a vintage one with the horn toggles.

I have been scarred by the misfortune of living in Korea when duffles were popular (as in 60 million people wearing them at once, in the same tiny space), around 8-10 years ago; they were so ubiquitous that everyone here hates them now and they will probably not come back in this country, despite the fact you still see random ones around on people who didn't get the memo.

Our camel duffel coat is crafted of a textured wool body. It features custom leather and wood toggles, a full length zipper closure, a removable hood, quilted shoulders and side-entry flap pockets. The coat is fully lined with satin and has polyfill stitched in for additional warmth. The fully finished interior also features two besom pockets for additional storage. Made in USA.
Absolutely gorgeous coat. Any word out there on its warmth?

Mackintosh does a great traditional dufflecoat with a (very) slim fit for the Japanese market under the "traditional weatherwear" name. My girlfriend (Korean) hates it for reasons Dis pointed out, so I can't really wear it

A bit slim from what I've heard. I had someone measure the shoulders on a large and they came out to about 18.5". That's usually a medium type of measurement, so I would definitely say consider sizing up if you are in between sizes.
