“I still have my original Gloverall duffle coat that I purchased over 35 years ago......I still wear it when it snows! I have wanted to purchase a new one and saw these at the Sierra Trading Post. I'm 6'3 1/2 (concern over slleve length) and they did not have a tall size in my proportion (44). I did want the coat, so I took the chance on a 44 regular and was pleasantly surprised. The coat fits perfectly! The differences between this coat and the traditional coat that I wore as a teenager in the 1960's are that the horned toggles used to be unfinished wood and the leather lacing used to be white rope (jute). I would prefer the original wood and jute; however, those minor millenium updates do not take away from this marvelous coat. It is not quite as heavy as my former coat; however, it is quite substantial and very close to the older model. This IS the Gloverall classic duffle coat that has been around for the past 50 years. You will not be able to buy a coat of this quality at this price anywhere else. There are other imitations of the classic duffle; however, this is the real McCoy. Some of the colors offered here are a different combination of wool/nylon/polyester blend that results in a different fabric, weight, and appearance. I purchased the chocolate brown color which IS the original style. Make sure that you do your research on each model before ordering. It may be helpful to call and speak to a customer service rep for clarification to be sure that you are ordering the classic model with the heavy wool exterior and the contrasting "blanket" lining. I'm thrilled to have a brand new version of my most favorite styled casual winter jacket/coat. At these prices, I just might buy one in four or five colors.........I love it!!!!!!!! Thanks Sierra Trading Post!”
