Gloverall Duffel Coats. They are the original manufacturers of duffel coats, which were originally Baltic fisherman coats made from wool bags on the fishing boats and with bone toggles so that they could be buttoned wearing heavy gloves. Gloverall's come with buffalo horn toggles and leather straps (don't settle for plastic). Unfortunately they cost $800 new at Barney's- they last forever though, so go to some nice vintage store to find a used one.
