Gloverall make their products in England. Their 1951 Collection takes inspiration from old images of of early fifties Grand Prix motor racing. As you'd expect, the duffel coat takes an important place in the collection, as do car coats and bombers in a variety of fabrics: herringbone tweed, waxed and bonded cottons, wool and chunky knits.
Here is all that a man would need to wear to bomb over to Silverstone in his British racing green MGTD to watch Fangio, Parnell and others wresting their Alfa Romeos, BRMs, Ferraris and Maseratis around the track.

| Monty duffel coat - Gloverall 1951 collection |
I first saw this collection earlier this year and was impressed by its classic feel; my favourite piece was the herringbone tweed bomber (the bomber also comes in a waxed and quilted rally jacket style finish).
