Engineered Garments Duffle Coat

The variety of wools in the Engineered Garments fall collection is quite impressive. Each jacket or coat seems to be offered in two or three different forms of the warm winter material, so it's not hard to find the perfect version. The duffle coat by EG has always been on my rader, but I've rarely come across it in person. The navy blue melton wool is perfectly complimented by the white rope and natural wood toggles. The fit is great and it falls on your body very comfortably while keeping you nice and warm. My only change would maybe be to move the top toggle down a little as it feels a bit high to do-up while wearing. I'll let it slide however since the hood detail makes up for it. It can actually flop inside or outside to throw over your head, or actually be worn as a bit of a shawl neck if you play it right.

If it's a Duffle your after look no further than Nigel Cabourn's Beetham, it's stunning. This looks cheap in comparison.

Also, the Beetham is made in England from cloth woven in England.

A lot of companies bang on about where their gear is made but never note that the cloth is imported.

The current EG duffles are unlined, which makes them a lot harder to wear through a northern winter. The FW07 version with the quilted lining was the best EG duffle: I wish I could find a M.

looks pretty flimsy judging by the photos. probably better to get a proper gloverall duffle.

It's not that flimsy and it fairly warm. It might not be warm enough with a t shirt underneath for winter, but the wool is quote solid and fairly soft. I think its one of the best duffle coats I've tried myself.
