Before the more popular quilted Anorak's and Parka's arrived in the mid 60's, the winter coat most often worn by kids in Dundee was the Duffle coat.
I certainly had a navy blue one with tartan lining.
According to this 1962 Milletts advert however, the navy blue Duffle with tartan lining was the cheapest of the range..!!
Oh well, at least I thought they looked better than the more expensive green and grey ones.

I had a duffle coat and a trench coat, but always had to wear short troosers,even in winter.It looked odd having a pair of bare legs and wellies sticking out below a duffle coat.
