refuses to leave coats fashion ..
Despite its origins in wartime, the layers of fabric refuses to come out of fashion …
As British as tea and antisocial behavior orders, this layer has survived two world wars, the ban on marches to the pump and the vagaries of fashion for almost 100 years to become a classic.
Lily Allen and Kelly Osborne carry on the party circuit, Gwyneth Paltrow saves his people to walk their children in New York, while model Laura Bailey in a place during Fashion Week in London.
Rachel Hunter and Leah Wood, daughter of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, are the fans. It's as if Sir Bob Geldof, Clint Eastwood and Torville & Dean – not to mention a number of copyright and, of course, its most famous wearer, Paddington Bear.
The cozy cover-up that unites them is all the humble duffle coat.
With its large hood, canvas, leather ties and horn 'change' mantle began life as part of the uniform of the Royal Navy during the First World War.
Must become the norm in question World War II, when two were more enthusiastic Lieutenant Colonel Sir David Stirling, founder of SAS, and Monty "(Field Marshal Montgomery), who lent his name to the Burberry duffle coat, still available.
After the war, the main army surplus coats minutes duffle bags were bought by British company Gloverall and became an immediate success. When this source has failed, in 1954, began making his own version Gloverall, adjusting the shape and style of uniform everyday wear military.
In 1956, the cut of the ladies has occurred, followed by a version for children. Almost overnight, the duffle coat has been used by all Bing Crosby from Michael Foot political, university students and "Angry Young Men" of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the left.
However, was Charlotte Ford, granddaughter of mogul Henry Ford cars, who moved from the layer a few notches on the scale of style, when in 1965 he fled to St. Moritz with the Greek Stavros Niarchos shipping tycoon Gloverall bring a classic.
The duffle coat Gloverall remains largely unchanged to date. A classic example of English "style," which has legions of fans, the continuous layer of style to appeal to the conscience around the world (80 percent of the factory Gloverall shields in the east of London are exported Japan and Europe), while many British customers to buy coats as part of their children (expensive) private school uniforms.
Burberry, which dates back first duffel coats back to the time great explorers such as Ernest Shackleton in the early 1900s, recently retired crown canvas designer Christopher Bailey approval.
Montgomery canvas Burberry coats and Gloverall classics have always been done in England, and have been published in the actress Thandie Newton, Bryan Ferry and his son Otis and Isaac, and members of the bands Razorlight and Kasabian.
With this heritage and the distribution of fans, who cares if Kate Moss prefers leather jackets and vintage fur? The layer of canvas is here to stay.
