The Gloverall  'Cocteau' Duffle Jacket in Camel, named after the endlessly imaginative Jean Cocteau, draws inspiration from a life where creativity and convention intertwine. 

This jacket offers a unique twist on the beloved duffle silhouette with its distinctive shawl collar, creating a more refined and sculptural aesthetic without compromising on practicality. Adhering to the coat's heritage, it features classic wooden toggles and jute rope fastenings, elements proven durable in challenging conditions, especially useful when wearing gloves.

Two ample front patch pockets and a hidden internal buttoned pocket ensure your essentials are always at hand. The jacket embodies a precise construction with a bohemian essence, making it equally at home in artistic environments or navigating the urban landscape.

The duffle coat's storied past, from its naval origins using robust "duffel" fabric to its post-war popularity among students and artists, underlines its enduring appeal as a symbol of comfort and honest utility.

The shawl collar and duffle coat both hold a unique place in maritime fashion, developed for protection against harsh weather and ease of movement at sea. The duffle coat, named after the Belgian town of Duffel, became a navy essential in the late 19th century, its rugged wool fabric and toggle fastenings allowing sailors to stay warm and operate gear even wearing gloves.

The shawl collar, meanwhile, was adopted for its wind-deflecting comfort in naval jackets and pullovers, gaining popularity across naval branches by World War I. During WWII, Gloverall played a pivotal role by purchasing vast stocks of surplus military duffle coats and later producing their own refined versions—distinguished by structured hoods, toggles, and checked linings—which cemented the style’s legacy in both military and civilian wardrobes. Gloverall’s enduring duffle coat designs reflect both naval heritage and practical tradition, making them iconic in British and global outerwear history. The Cocteau takes the classic shawl collar and fits it neatly onto a classic Gloverall Duffle Coat silhouette and the result is a contemporary masterpiece that brings retro maritime fashions to the forefront of seasonal outerwear style.
