This fall, we’re proud to launch a brand new partnership with renowned British outerwear manufacturer Gloverall. For those of you who’ve been following along with 3sixteen for some time now, you might remember that our FW09 collection included a duffel coat that was modeled after the kind that Gloverall has been making since the 1950’s. It was an unexpected hit for the season and sold out almost instantly via retailers, becoming a sought-after piece in the months to come. Joshua Kissi, who together with Travis Gumbs, ran a very influential style blog called “Street Etiquette” featured our Camel duffel coat in a post that winter. Years later, fashion writer (and good friend) Jian Deleon included it in Complex’s “Evolution of a Hypebeast” article as a cultural artifact of 2010 and its movement towards raw denim, heritage and Americana. As the duffel coat has played such a large role in our brand story, we thought it would be apropos to partner with the most recognized manufacturer of this style of coat to create our own version over 10 years later.

The large front pockets are a trademark design detail, as are the rope fastenings and wooden toggles - but in typical 3sixteen fashion, we commissioned blacked-out versions for a cleaner look. We also removed hood snaps, throat latches and wrist straps to give the coat a cleaner, modernized look. Additional design details include a diamond-quilted shoulder cape, a detail that we included on our original 2009 version, as well as paneled navy wool contrasts on the pockets and the back panel. This contrast is pretty discreet when worn but becomes more prominent when you’re looking at it up close or in direct sunlight. Each coat is fully cut and sewn in England.
