This soft, warm, heavyweight fabric has been blended from luxurious Merino and carries the addition of Nylon for harder wearing results. Hainsworth Duffle is a charming modern take on lasting tradition and is perfectly suited to luxurious structured outerwear and accessories. Made from 80% Merino Wool and 20% Nylon, it is dyed to order. The name Duffle derives from the town called Duffel in Belgium where the material originates. It was once traditionally a thick coarse woollen fabric used for Duffle coats, which became popular because of the British Royal Navy. It was made into a camel coloured garment as an item of warm clothing during World War 1. Due to large stocks of post-war military surplus coats, the Duffle coat was then sold to the general public in the 1950s and 1960s. This collection includes 4 classic colourways and a range of concepts, including stripes, dogtooth and chevron designs. Please get in touch if for more information on our Duffle concept fabrics.
