The Nigel Cabourn duffle coat is made from creme-colored Belgian fabric. The duffle fastenings give the coat a nautical touch, while the oversized pockets add a subtle detail that are extremely useful as well.

The photoshoot features a model with a grizzly beard, which again adds to the nautical theme of the garment.
