Children's Duffle Coats
The duffle coat (or duffel coat) is one of those rare garments that genuinely works at every age. Gloverall's children's collection brings the same heritage-grounded craft of the adult range to a unisex selection built for British seasons, from crisp autumn mornings to unpredictable spring days. Each piece is made with the same attention to quality that defines every Gloverall coat, in sizes and proportions suited to younger wearers who won't stand still for long.
The Original Children's Duffle Coat
The children's Original Duffle Coat carries all the hallmarks of its adult counterpart, the wooden toggles, rope or leather loop fastenings, pancake hood, and fine wool blend construction that have defined the style since 1951. For the colder months, it is warm enough to handle a British winter and robust enough to handle the demands of childhood in the process. Heritage-inspired colourways keep it timeless; the unisex cut means it works across the wardrobe without compromise.
The Ripstop Showerproof Duffle
Not every day calls for a heavy wool coat. The Ripstop Showerproof Duffle is Gloverall's answer to milder weather and sudden showers, a lighter-weight construction with showerproof protection, built to handle the kind of transitional conditions that define spring and early autumn in Britain. The toggle fastenings remain, connecting it visually to the heritage adult styles; the ripstop fabric offers the practical durability that active children require.
Boys' Duffle Coats
Every Gloverall children's duffle coat is cut the same for boys and girls: the difference is colour, not construction. For boys' duffle coats, the deeper end of the range tends to do the work: the Original Duffle Coat in Navy, Black, Charcoal, Brown or Royal Blue, made in a fine wool blend and offered in sizes 2 to 16, which carries a child from toddler to teenager without ever changing style. For a boys' wool duffle coat with more texture, the Herringbone Wool Duffle in Charcoal or Navy is the one to look at. When the weather turns rather than drops, the Gabardine Showerproof Duffle in Bottle Green handles rain without the weight, and the Corduroy Duffle in Navy adds texture for milder days.
Girls' Duffle Coats
The same coats, in the colours more often asked for by name. Girls' duffle coats here centre on the Melton Wool Duffle, which comes in Red, Cranberry and Pink: a proper girls' red duffle coat in heavyweight wool rather than a seasonal approximation. The Herringbone Wool Duffle offers a quieter alternative in Rose or White, and the Original Duffle Coat carries Bordeaux and Royal Blue alongside its heritage neutrals. Each is made to the same pattern as every other duffle coat we produce, with wooden toggles, rope or leather loop fastenings and the pancake hood: in sizes 4 to 13, and 2 to 16 in the Original.
A Gift Worth Giving
A Gloverall children's duffle coat is the kind of purchase that genuinely holds its value, as a gift, as a wardrobe investment, and as a piece that connects younger wearers to a British outerwear tradition that has lasted more than 70 years.
