Duffle coats as popularised by Royal Naval officers at the turn of the last century have always been associated with style leaders. Field Marshal Montgomery, an avid wearer lent his name to them in the form of the ‘Monty’ coat. Musician, actor and lothario Dudley Moore I’m sure seduced in them, and of course the Peruvian bear Paddington, who is very much in the public eye at the moment was handed one as his first item of clothing upon entering the country and never took it off. Traditionally made in the heavy wool from Duffel in Belgium, which was also used for making the drawstring bags of the same name, we have made two coats in Dashing Tweeds. The first is in our felted and brushed Lumatwill Navy Urban Shadow Check, and the second in a most luxurious double faced Cashmere. Both of these designs are woven in Britain, and the coats are tailored in London. We selected Scottish Highland horn for the toggles and fine calves leather for the fixings. Immediately practical and ironically stylish these are available in our new shop at 26 Sackville Street, London W1S 3HE. Get your paws on one before they all sell out. dashingtweeds.co.uk/shop/ready-to-wear.html
