Men's duffle coat

This duffle coat made of weighty virgin wool fabric comes with all the details typical of this iconic garment. The patch tucker doubles the material at the shoulder area, which provides more warmth on the upper body and keeps the wetness away better - also because it means there is no open seam on the shoulder. The hood, also doubled in the front part, protects its wearer in rain, wind and cold. Real horn toggles with cords, whose ends are covered by leather trimmings, are used to close the wind visor. Under the hood there is a metal zipper - not quite original, but functionally a gain - through which the duffle coat closes even tighter. At the neck, two buttons ensure a good fit. The dark blue (next to beige the classic color) duffle coat is unlined, all seams are neatly hemmed. The two spacious pockets are patched.

Tellingly, “armor” is the Breton word for sea, and “lux” cannot mean anything else than the magic light at Brittany’s coast. In keeping with their brand’s name, Armor lux design many of their jumpers and shirts, dresses, trousers, hats, caps and scarves in a maritime style. The company, based in Quimper and founded by a Swiss at the end of the 1930s, combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colours and uncompromising quality of materials and craft. The main production facility is still the company’s headquarter in France while, to a small extent, branches in Madagascar and Tunisia support the production.
