History / Notes/ Research

Gloverall 

After the end of World War II, H&F Morris were given the opportunity to purchase a large amount of surplus military duffle coats which they distributed among camping and leisure stores. As the coats sold out in record speed, Harold and Freda (owners of H&F Morris) were inspired to produce their own collection of Gloverall duffle coats under the new company name.

Expanding the business from exclusively duffel coats to producing car coats and reefer jackets, they quickly established themselves as a leader in British casual outerwear which soon led to international interest with Gloverall USA, Canada, France and Sweden among their biggest customers outside the UK.

By the time the swinging sixties had come around, Gloverall were being exported worldwide which led to the construction of a new custom built factory in Northamptonshire. As the brand began to design more fashion forward overcoats and casual clothing, their popularity soared in the UK and across the globe. By the end of the decade, Gloverall were stocked in over forty countries.
