Gloverall x Norbit

For a second season, Gloverall and Japanese label Norbit come together to explore the meeting point between British outerwear heritage and contemporary outdoor design. Built on a shared appreciation for purposeful clothing, the collaboration introduces a new Dufflewool Peacoat alongside an updated version of the Morris Coat, first introduced in our original partnership.

Norbit designer Hiroshi Nozawa brings his distinctive approach to workwear and functional design to both pieces. Limited edition, available while stock lasts, and not replenished once it's gone.

Continuing Gloverall’s collaboration with Japanese label Norbit, this limited-edition, fully reversible peacoat brings together British outerwear tradition with Norbit’s distinctly contemporary approach to design.

The Gloverall x Norbit Morris Coat 2.0

The Morris Coat returns, revisiting a style first introduced in our original partnership. This version makes greater use of Polartec® fleece, bringing Norbit’s technical approach to the familiar language of the Gloverall duffle coat.

Cut to an oversized silhouette, it retains the recognisable duffle details: a generous hood, a throat tab, traditional buffalo horn toggles and leather loop fastenings. The three-layer performance fabric combines Polartec® fleece with a windproof membrane and a comfortable tricot backing, while Cordura® 305D panels reinforce key areas.

Elbow patches, an adjustable drawcord waist and four-way front pockets bring Norbit’s practical sensibility to the design.

Men's Gloverall x Norbit Mid-Length Monty Duffle Coat in Dark Navy by Gloverall

The Gloverall x Norbit Monty Jacket

A contemporary take on our legendary duffle, the Monty Jacket is designed with movement and versatility in mind. Cut shorter than its traditional namesake, it’s the kind of jacket you throw on for city errands, countryside walks, and everything in between.

The outer shell is a quiet feat of engineering: a three-layer fabric comprising Polartec® fleece for warmth, a waterproof membrane for weather resistance, and a static-resistant tricot backing for comfort. Cordura® nylon panels with a water-repellent finish reinforce the high-wear zones - a subtle nod to Norbit’s technical DNA.

Of course, the signature toggles and rope fastenings are present and correct. But look closer and you’ll notice Norbit’s precise, almost poetic tweaks: elbow patches, multi-entry front pockets, and twin rear game pockets with concealed zips - elegant solutions to the age-old question of how to carry more with less fuss.

Gloverall x Norbit Returns

Gloverall and Norbit share more than an aesthetic overlap: both brands approach design with a deep respect for utility and a preference for materials that earn their place rather than merely looking the part. For a second season, that shared thinking is applied to two pieces: a new Dufflewool Peacoat and an updated Morris Coat.

Who Is Norbit?

Norbit is a Japanese label renowned for its refined take on functional, military-inspired outerwear. It was relaunched in 2018 by Hiroshi Nozawa, a veteran of Japan's fashion scene, with a clear-eyed mission: to explore the meeting point between function, tradition and contemporary design. The brand's mantra, field, travel and chill, may sound relaxed, but its execution is anything but casual. Think hybridised military outerwear with a technical backbone, all finished with a distinctive Japanese eye for detail.

Norbit is based in Japan, where Gloverall's heritage has been appreciated since the brand first exported there in 1965. The partnership is one of mutual admiration for craft, utility, and the kind of detail that most people won't notice until they're wearing the coat in bad weather and realise it's handling it better than expected.

The Morris Coat 2.0

The Morris Coat 2.0 revisits a style first introduced in our original partnership, making greater use of Polartec® fleece. Cut to an oversized silhouette, it retains recognisable duffle details including a generous hood, throat tab, traditional buffalo horn toggles and leather loop fastenings. Its three-layer performance fabric combines Polartec® fleece with a windproof membrane and a comfortable tricot backing, while Cordura® 305D panels reinforce key areas for added durability. Elbow patches, an adjustable drawcord waist and four-way front pockets bring Norbit's practical sensibility to the design.

The Dufflewool Peacoat

New to the collection, this limited-edition, fully reversible peacoat brings British outerwear tradition together with Norbit's contemporary approach to design. Taking its cues from Gloverall's Churchill Peacoat and reworked on Norbit's own block, the familiar naval silhouette is remade with technical fabrics and considered detailing. On one side, Polartec® fleece brings warmth and softness to the classic double-breasted shape, finished with tonal zipped chest pockets and Gloverall's classic branded anchor buttons. The Polartec® fabric is a two-layer construction, combining the outer with a windproof membrane for added protection from the elements.

Turn it inside out to reveal an onion quilted shell, inspired by traditional Japanese design and reinterpreted by Norbit designer Hiroshi Nozawa. Insulated with Gloverall's signature Dufflewool for warmth without unnecessary bulk, exposed fleece at the collar and trims creates a considered link between the two sides. Elbow patches and a generous arrangement of internal and external pockets add further practicality.

The First Collection

The original Gloverall x Norbit partnership introduced two pieces: the Monty Jacket, a mid-length take on the Monty duffle coat, and the first Morris Coat. Both used a three-layer construction of Polartec® fleece, membrane and Cordura® reinforcement, with the wooden toggles and jute rope fastenings that define Gloverall's duffle coats. Norbit's additions were precise: elbow patches, 3-way front pockets and twin rear game pockets with concealed zips that reference the hunting jacket tradition without shouting about it. Both sold out and were not replenished.

A Limited-Edition Collection Worth Owning

The Gloverall x Norbit pieces are limited edition, available while stock lasts, not replenished when they're gone. Together, the two styles bring Gloverall's longstanding outerwear heritage together with Norbit's technical Japanese design, creating purposeful outerwear made for changing conditions and years of wear. For the original in Melton wool, see the Churchill Peacoat and the full men's peacoat collection. For the standard heritage duffle coat silhouettes, the men's duffle coat collection covers the full range. For the technical outdoor performance range, Gloverall Outdoor is the natural companion.
