Women's Duffle Coats

Whether walking through town on a brisk morning or heading out for a weekend in the countryside, women's duffle coats are a timeless choice. Beautifully tailored and practical, the duffle coat combines heritage style with everyday comfort and warmth.

First worn by sailors facing raw North Sea crossings, the duffle coat has earned its place as one of the most well-loved styles of coat. The dense wool blocks cold air, while the iconic wooden toggles and deep pockets give the coat its distinctive character. A well-made duffle also moves comfortably with the body, leaving space for knitwear beneath while keeping the silhouette neat and balanced.

Our collection of duffle coats for women is built around the things that made the design last. Heavyweight wool, proper toggle fastenings, generous hoods, and stylish colours, from pale camel to deep navy. These are ladies’ duffle coats shaped for cold days and busy lives.

The Fabric Behind the Warmth

A coat's weight and craftsmanship tells you something before you even put it on. Jack Murphy's duffle coats are crafted with high-quality wool that holds warmth while staying breathable and comfortable. The wool is thicker than most coat fabrics, with a nap that feels soft against the back of your hand but blocks cold air the moment you step outside.

The Details That Make the Duffle Distinctive

The details on a duffle coat come from a coat designed to be fastened with cold hands on a pitching deck, and they've survived because they still work. Our women's duffle coats are beautifully proportioned, with the iconic toggles, deep pockets, and hooded silhouette that has kept the duffle such a popular style for well over a hundred years.

Built For Cold, Busy Days

A duffle coat fits perfectly into winter life, from early-morning commutes to afternoon walks in snow and frost. Women's duffle coats can handle even the coldest weather: the cut leaves room for thick layers underneath without making you feel bulky, and the wool holds warmth even when the wind picks up. Throw a long wool scarf over the collar to complete the look.

What makes women's duffle coats different from other wool coats?

The toggles, the rope fastenings, and the distinctive hood. Most wool coats button flat and sit closer to the body. A duffle is roomier by design, with fastenings built for cold hands and deep pockets for winter gloves.

Are duffle coats warm enough for the coldest winter days?

Yes, ladies’ duffle coats are perfect for winter. The dense wool traps warmth close to the body, and the longer cut covers more than a hip-length jacket. On the coldest days, layer knitwear or a fleece underneath. The roomy fit is designed for exactly that.

Why do duffle coats have toggles?

Toggles were designed for sailors fastening their coats in heavy gloves on open water. They're faster than buttons, easier to grip with numb fingers, and they hold the front closed securely even in strong wind.

How should a women's duffle coat fit?

Duffle coats should be roomier than a tailored coat, but not shapeless. The shoulders should sit cleanly, and there should be enough space through the chest and body to layer a thick knit underneath without pulling.

How do I care for a duffle coat?

Brush it after wearing, using a clothes brush to lift dust and keep the wool surface clean. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth rather than washing the whole coat. If your duffle coat needs a deeper clean, dry cleaning preserves the wool's density and the shape of the toggles and fastenings. Store on a broad hanger over summer with cedar nearby to keep moths away.
