Mens Black Sheepskin Duffle Coat

Key Features and Material

This coat is typically crafted from genuine, high-grade sheepskin, also known as shearling. The full-grain outer hide provides a durable, wind-resistant black finish. We also have Mens Greatest Black Shearling Leather Coat.

The interior is lined with the woollen fleece, offering superior insulation and a soft, plush feel for extreme comfort. Many models feature a generously sized, often detachable, hood for added protection against severe weather.

Traditional duffle details include the iconic toggle-and-loop closure system, which is easy to fasten while wearing gloves. Many modern versions add a concealed brass or sturdy zip closure beneath the leather-faced fly front for extra security.

Functional pockets are a staple, commonly featuring two large flap or patch pockets at the waist, often incorporating side-entry hand-warmer pockets. The coat typically has a loose to comfort fit, perfect for layering during colder months, and some designs include an optional turn-up cuff detail.

History and Style Variations

The duffle coat’s history dates back to the 1850s, but it was popularized during World War II by the British Royal Navy as the practical “convoy coat.” It became known as the “Monty coat” after Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, a frequent wearer.

The sheepskin duffle coat is a luxurious evolution of this military classic, replacing the original coarse woolen cloth with shearling. This black shearling version offers a sophisticated, yet rugged, look.

It is a timeless piece that suits a variety of winter wardrobes, from casual to smart-casual. The black color gives it a modern, versatile edge compared to the original military camel or navy wool coats.
