1970s | Made in Britain | Wool Duffle Coat | Brown - S

Description:

Item: Traditional British-made duffle coat constructed in heavyweight brown wool, finished with classic wooden toggle fastenings and leather loops. Features a generous hood and a full tartan wool lining throughout, providing warmth and structure. Straightforward, utilitarian cut typical of mid-century British outerwear, designed for durability and everyday winter use rather than fashion-led styling.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / Made in Britain

Condition: Well-worn vintage condition with natural softening to the wool, gentle surface wear, and light creasing consistent with age and long-term use. The fabric remains structurally sound, with wear adding depth and character rather than detracting from the coat.

Provenance Note: This is an honest British duffle, built to be relied upon in cold, wet conditions rather than preserved. The softened wool, muted brown tone, and relaxed drape come from years of practical wear, not artificial ageing. Pieces like this were everyday staples, valued for warmth and longevity, which is why surviving examples with their working character intact feel so authentic. The appeal lies in that quiet reliability, a coat shaped by use and environment rather than trend.

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.
