About

Many people have owned a "duffel coat" or "duffel bag" at some point and probably have never thought twice about their origin. These items actually hail from a small Belgian town that carries the same name.

The design of the coat was influenced by the Polish "frock coat" from the 1820s, which grew in popularity throughout Europe in the years leading up to the 1850s. This was capitalized by the British John Partridge outerwear manufacturer, who produced the first real "duffel coat" the same year. These coats became popular with the British Navy and Army, who produced them en masse for the next century. After World War II, they became available to the public via military surplus stores and were popular once again.

Unfortunately by then, their Belgian origin was completely forgotten and even the pronunciation of the word was transformed from the original, with the "u" sounding more like the first vowel sound in "surplus" than the current enunciation.

The town of "Duffel" still remembers and celebrates its claim to fame. In 2007, a statue of a "duffel coat" by Frans Vermeulen was created and later placed on the main roundabout in 2013 by the municipality.

Thanks to this statue and the name, many people email the municipality regularly with questions about the "duffel coat factory", but this actually never existed. Only the fabric was made here.

Word History and Origins - Origin of "duffle coat"

First recorded in 1675–85; variant of "duffel"

"duffel" zn. "een wollen stof"

Vnnl. Kempesche, Limborghsche, Weselsche, Munstersche, Duffelsche, ende andere diegelijcke Laeckenen [1637; WNT "duffelsch"], 5 stucken duffels [1637; WNT]; nnl. duffel ‘duffelse overjas’ [1701-1711; WNT].

Genoemd naar de plaatsnaam "Duffel" (bij Antwerpen), zoals al expliciet wordt vermeld in de eerste Engelse attestatie: These "Duffields", so called from a Town in Brabant, where the trade of them first began "deze duffels, zo genoemd naar een Brabants stadje waar men deze begon te verhandelen" [1677; OED].

Mnd. "düffel" (nhd. "Düffel"); nfri. "duffel", ne. "duffel", "duffle"; nzw. "duffel".

Vanaf de 15e eeuw maakte "Duffel" een ware bloeiperiode door dankzij de weefnijverheid. Duffels laken werd tot ver buiten de grenzen verkocht. De duffel als winterjas beleefde na de Tweede Wereldoorlog via het Engels een herleving als "duffelcoat".

"duffelen" = "stevig inpakken", "warm aankleden". Nnl. "duffelen" ‘id.’ [1867; WNT]. Wrsch. geen afleiding van "duffel", maar een variant van "doffelen", frequentatief van "doffen", zie "opdoffen".

"duffel", der; aus dem Nl. nach der belgischen Stadt "Duffel".

Eggleston, Edward, 1837-1902:

Duffels (English) (as Author)

1637 "duffel" = "dikke wollen stof"

Het wekt dus geen verbazing dat het Nederlands veel invloed op de Engelse textielterminologie heeft gehad. Sommige woorden zijn inmiddels verouderd, samen met de industrie zelf: tegenwoordig worden vooral kunststoffen gebruikt en in Nederland is geen industrie van betekenis meer - in België ligt dat anders. De volgende Engelse woorden zijn aan de Nederlandse textielindustrie te danken: "flock" (van "vlok"), "selvage", "selvedge" (van "zelfegge" = "zelfkant"), "spool" (van "spoel"), "to walk" = "vollen" (van "walken"). Aan stofnamen: "bay" (van "baai"), "duck" (van "doek"), "duffel" (naar de Brabantse plaatsnaam "Duffel"), "cambric" (naar de Noord-Franse stad "Kamerijk"), "lake" (van "laken") en "tick" (van "tijk").

Hoewel de Lage Landen, zoals we zagen, een belangrijke rol in de lakenindustrie speelden, zijn er op dit terrein meer geleende woorden dan inheemse. Inheems zijn "doek", "duffel", "lijnwaad", "laken", "linnen", "neteldoek", "rips", "twijn", "vilt" en "wol". Het fraaie kant, waar België zo beroemd om is, is een speciale betekenis van het Latijnse leenwoord "kant" = "zijde", "rand" - een betekenis die in het Nederlands is ontwikkeld. Terlenka is in het Nederlands gemaakt, van uitheemse woorden. Ook de andere kunstvezelstoffen zijn vormingen van vreemde talen (die ook nog in andere talen gemaakt zijn): "acryl", "polyester", "vinyl".

"duffel" = "dikke wollen stof" 1637 [Sanders 1995] {4.1.9}

...
2.13 Kleding

De woorden "duffle", "mutch" en "wamus" zijn in de zeventiende eeuw geleend en worden nog wel gebruikt; "duffle" zelfs frequent, met een nieuwe betekenis. "Knickerbockers" gaat terug op een Nederlandse naam, waarschijnlijk een bijnaam, en heeft in de negentiende eeuw een geheel eigen betekenisontwikkeling doorgemaakt.

Bartlett noemt als enige in 1848 op dit terrein nog het woord "winkle-hawk", waarover hij beweert dat het komt van het Nederlandse "winkelhaak" en een scheur in de vorm van de letter "L" betekent, vaak in een stuk stof. Het wordt volgens hem ook genoemd een "winkel-hole", en het geldt als een New Yorkse term. DARE vermeldt dat "winklehawk" vooral voorkomt in de Hudsonvallei en verouderd is.

"duffle",

1. ruwe wollen stof vooral gebruikt voor dekens en jassen en dergelijke;

2. kampeeruitrusting (Craigie, Webster).

- Van Nederlands "duffel" = "dikke wollen stof, zware (winter)jas van die stof ’; overgenomen in de zeventiende eeuw en nog in gebruik

* De benaming "duffel" is afkomstig van de Antwerpse plaats "Duffel", waar de stof oorspronkelijk werd vervaardigd. In het Amerikaans-Engels is de stofnaam "duffle" al in 1649 aangetroffen, terwijl hij in het Brits-Engels pas in 1677 is gevonden. Dat betekent dus dat het woord in het Amerikaans-Engels onafhankelijk van het Brits-Engels is geleend. En er werd direct al druk in de stof gehandeld. Ook de duffelse jas, in het AmerikaansEngels "duffle coat" geheten, duikt al vroeg op. En niet alleen de Nederlanders dreven handel in de stof, maar ook anderen: zo werd in 1674 geschreven: ‘[Indians] buy of them [English, Dutch, and French] for clothing a kind of cloth, called "duffils", or "trucking cloth", ... made of coarse wool.’ En anderhalve eeuw later blijken de indianen nog steeds "duffels" te dragen, want in 1832 is genoteerd: ‘[The Indians] lodge in the woods, about a great fire, with the mantle of "duffils" they wear by day wrapt about them.’

1649 An Inventory: ... 25 yards greene tammy ... 13 peeces of "duffles".

1671 He shall have a coat of "Duffils", or fifteen shillings.

In het Amerikaans-Engels heeft het woord bovendien in de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw een betekenis gekregen die het niet kent in het Nederlands, namelijk ‘kampeeruitrusting’; een "duffle bag" wordt gebruikt voor een plunjezak.

1884 Every one has gone to his chosen ground with too much impedimenta, too much "duffle".

1925 Camp duffle and placer tools lay scattered on the ground.

Kleding

Op de vijfde plaats staan woorden voor kledingstukken of onderdelen daarvan. De Nederlandse manier van kleden was nieuw voor de indianen: zowel het materiaal (wol, katoen en dergelijke) als de kledingstukken zelf. Al snel gingen de indianen hemden dragen. De volgende namen voor kledingstukken zijn geleend uit het Nederlands: "broek" (overgenomen door Munsee Delaware), "hemd" (overgenomen door Mahican, Munsee en Unami Delaware), "katoen" (overgenomen door Munsee Delaware), "knoop" (overgenomen door Munsee en Unami Delaware) en "want" (overgenomen door Munsee Delaware). In 2.13 bleek dat ook het Nederlandse "duffel", door het Amerikaans-Engels overgenomen als "duffle", een geliefd handelsproduct was, maar de naam hiervan is vooralsnog niet in een indianentaal aangetroffen.

2.13 Clothing

The words "duffle", "mutch", and "wamus" were borrowed in the seventeenth century. While the latter two are by now used only occasionally, "duffle" is still used frequently, albeit with a new meaning. "Knickerbockers" is derived from a Dutch name, probably a nickname, and underwent a unique semantic development in the nineteenth century.

Bartlett is the only source to list the word "winkle-hawk" in this category in 1848, stating: “(Dutch "winkel-haak".) A rent in the shape of the letter "L", frequently made in cloth. It is also called a "winkel-hole". A New York term.” DARE labels "winklehawk" = “chiefl y Hudson River Valley” and “old-fashioned”.

"duffle",

1. coarse woolen cloth used chiefl y for blankets, coats, etc.;

2. articles of dress and personal use, carried on a camping or hunting trip (Craigie, Webster).

- From Dutch "duffel", meaning "thick woolen fabric", "heavy (winter) coat made of that fabric"; borrowed in the seventeenth century and still in use. * The name "duffel" comes from the town of "Duffel" in the Belgian province of Antwerp, where the fabric was originally manufactured. While "duffle" was already found in American English as the name of a material as early as 1649, it was not encountered in British English until 1677. This means that the word was adopted into American English independently of British English, and the fabric immediately became a frequently traded commodity. The "duffelse jas", called "duffle coat" in American English, soon emerged. The fabric was not only traded by the Dutch, but by others as well, as evidenced by the following quote from 1674: “[Indians] buy of them [English, Dutch, and French] for clothing a kind of cloth, called "duffils", or trucking cloth, ... made of coarse wool.” And 150 years later, the Indians still appeared to wear "duffles", as evidenced by this 1832 record: “[The Indians] lodge in the woods, about a great fire, with the mantle of duffils they wear by day wrapt about them.”

1649 An Inventory: ... 25 yards greene tammy ... 13 peeces of duffles.

1671 He shall have a coat of Duffils, or fifteen shillings.

In American English, the word acquired in the second half of the nineteenth century a meaning that it does not have in Dutch, namely “camping gear”; a "duffle bag" is used in the sense of "kit bag".

1884 Every one has gone to his chosen ground with too much impedimenta, too much "duffle".

1925 Camp duffle and placer tools lay scattered on the ground.
...
Clothes

In fifth place we find words for articles of clothing or parts of them. The Dutch way of dressing was new to the Native Americans – both the materials (wool, cotton, etc.) and the articles of clothing themselves. Before long, the Native Americans started wearing shirts. The following notions for articles of clothing have been borrowed from Dutch: "trousers" (borrowed by Munsee Delaware), "shirt" (borrowed by Mahican, Munsee, and Unami Delaware), "cotton" (borrowed by Munsee Delaware), "button" (borrowed by Munsee and Unami Delaware), and "mitten" (borrowed by Munsee Delaware). In 2.13, we also saw that Dutch "duffel", borrowed in American English as "duffle", was a popular trading product, but as yet, the name has not been found in any Amerindian language.

The term "duffle" referred to a sailor's principal clothing and also to the tube-shaped bag in which he carried and stowed it. A rough woolen cloth used in the manufacture of both was made in the Flemish town of "Duffel" near Antwerp from where the term derives.

...
Vom belgischen Ort "Duffel" kam im 18. Jahrhundert ein grober Wollstoff, der fortan Mantel-Geschichte schrieb. Er war im Krieg Ausrüstung der britischen Marine und wurde berühmt durch Feldmarschall Montgomery. Jean-Paul Sartre und auch Jean Cocteau trugen ihn. Der markige und unverwüstliche "Dufflecoat" hat nach wie vor den bequemen Schnitt, die wärmende Kapuze, aufgesetzte Taschen und die bewährten Knebelverschlüsse, die selbst mit eisstarren Händen leicht zu schließen sind.

"Duffell" Surname Origin

for "Duffield".

"duffel bag", "duffel coat"

The fabric was named after "Duffel", a town in Belgium

Fabrics familiar and foreign
...
A remarkable number of these fabrics are named for the place where they or similar but now-forgotten types of cloth were historically made or where they were exported from. In some cases, the name of the cloth is identical to the place name —

• "jersey", the traditional material of athletic jerseys, is named for the island of "Jersey" in the English Channel;
• "duffel", the fabric of "duffel coats" and "duffel bags2, is named for the town of "Duffel" in Belgium; and the printed cotton fabric known as
• "paisley" is named for the town of "Paisley" in Scotland.

In other cases, the connection is partly obscured by changes in the name of the cloth over centuries. Thus

• "blue jeans" get their name from the fabric name "jean", which was spelled "jene" or "gene" in Middle English, and which came from the Middle French word "Genes", "from Genoa". Of course, the fabric of jeans is now more widely referred to as
• "denim" — from the French "de Nîmes", "from Nîmes".

Often the names hint at the importance of international trade since ancient times; a significant percentage of English fabric names are derived from names of places not just outside England but outside Europe, especially places in Asia: your

• "cashmere" shawl is named for "Kashmir", your
• "damask" tablecloth for "Damascus", your
• "muslin" draperies for "Mosul", and so on. Even the
• "tartan" of a Scotsman’s kilt, which one might have expected to have a Celtic origin, may get its name circuitously from a city in ancient Asia, via the Old French "tiretaine", a word that apparently referred to a type of linsey-"woolsey", probably deriving from Old French "tire" ("silk cloth") and ultimately coming from the Latin "Tyrius", "from the city of Tyre".

Of all the textile etymologies, one of the farthest-fetched (in the geographical sense, not in the sense of being implausible) is that for satin.

• "Satin" was written "satyn" or "zatayn" in Middle English, from the Old French "satayn", "zatin", or "zettonin", all of which probably ultimately derive from Arabic "'atlas zaytuni", "cloth from Zaitun". Where is "Zaitun"? You won’t find it in any English-language atlas, because it’s an Arabization of the Middle Chinese "tshzthewn", an early name for the city of "Quanzhou", China, which was an important commercial center in medieval times when Arab merchants were especially active in the trade (both overland and by sea) between Europe and East Asia.

DUFFEL, (Géog. mod.) ville du Brabant autrichien, dans les Pays-Bas; elle est sur la Nesse, entre Liere & Malines.

• "duffel" a large cylindrical bag of heavy cloth
• "duffel bag" a large cylindrical bag of heavy cloth

From: Mike Rosen (mrosen oberlin.edu)

Subject: "Dutch"

My wife, Marlene, and I spent a sabbatical living in Gravenhage (The Hague) quite a while ago and discovered a vast number of Dutch words that have found their way into American English. Here is a short list: "dope", "sloop", "hoist", "caboose", "poppycock", "scow", "sleigh", "blunderbuss", "cookie", "duffelbag", "stoop", "cruller", and "coleslaw".

"New York City" was once "New Amsterdam" controlled by the Dutch until the English took it over in 1667 without a fight. In the "New York" area many words are derived from the Dutch such as: "Amsterdam Avenue", "Red Hook" ("Roode Hoeck"), "Catskills" ("Koaterskill"), "dollars" ("daalders"), "Yonkers" ("Jonkheer’s Landt"), "Peekskill", "Broadway" ("Brede weg"), the "bowery" (a farm in Dutch), "yankee" ("janke"), "Teaneck" ("Teneyck" - family name), "Turtle Bay" ("Duetel Bogt"), "Fishkill" ("kill-stream"), "Flatbush" ("Vlachte Bosch"), "Flushing" ("Vlissingen"), "Tenafly" ("Thynevly"), "Coney Island" ("conjin" - "rabbit") and we can’t forget "Brooklyn" ("Breuklyn").

Deutung

"Der wilde, teuflische Bach", der bei starken Regenfällen für Überschwemmungen sorgt oder "Der tiefe Bach"

Schwzdt. "Tüfel", "Düfel", "Teufel" m. "Satan", "Widersacher Gottes", "Verkörperung des Bösen", "böser Geist", "Verführer des Menschen" im Judentum, Christentum und Islam, nhdt. "Teufel", geht zurück auf mhdt. "tiuvel", "tievel", ahdt. "tiufal", "tiuval". Das Wort ist entlehnt aus dem Kirchenlat. ("diabolus" - griech. "diábolos" = "Verleumder"). Die Figur des Teufels hat im mundartl. Sprachgebrauch ein weites Bedeutungsspektrum.

Das Namenelement "Tüfel", "Düfel", "Teufel" ist rund 35 Mal belegt. Als BW verbindet sich "Tüfel" in FlN meist mit dem GW "Chuchi" und benennt dann felsige und grabenartig eingeschnittene Örtlichkeiten, die von der ortsansässigen Bevölkerung als unheimlich, wüst und abgeschieden empfunden wurden (vgl. die Redensart "in Teufels Küche geraten").

Allg. charakterisiert das BW "Tüfel" schlecht begeh- und bewirtschaftbares, häufig in Vertiefungen gelegenes Gelände, da man sich den Teufel als ein Wesen der Tiefe vorstellte.

"Tüfel" ist wiederholt umgedeutet aus urspr. "TIEF".

Düffel

"Fries" ("Flaus"), glattes oder geköpertes, grobes, starkes, nicht sehr fest geschlagenes, nur wenig gewalktes wollenes Gewebe mit langem Haar auf der Oberseite. Es wird aus geringer Landwolle und groben Kämmlingen dargestellt, und man nimmt zum Einschlag meist doppelt so starkes Garn wie zur Kette. Die Appretur nach dem Rauhen besteht in Bürsten und Pressen; nur die bessern Sorten werden stärker gewalkt, auch mehr oder weniger geschoren. "Coating", "Biber", "Kalmuck", "Düffel" und der leichte, feine, ungeköperte "Damenfries" gehören hierher.
