History In 1950, just five years after World War II, Gloves and Overall wholesalers H&F Morris, owned by Harold and Freda Morris, found success selling surplus military duffle coats. This prompted Harold, a master tailor's son, and Freda to launch Gloverall, creating their own refined duffle coats. Harold innovated by replacing the thick jute rope fastenings with leather straps and adding an Italian check back fabric, setting a new standard in outerwear. In 1957, Gloverall's iconic Monty Duffle coat gained fame when Tony Brooks was photographed wearing it alongside racing legends Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorn at the Monaco Grand Prix. In 1962, Gloverall opened a custom-built factory in Northamptonshire to meet growing demand. The design team introduced more fashionable duffle and casual outerwear, expanding markets across Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, By the late 1960s, Gloverall was selling in over forty countries. The 1970s saw North America, the USA, and Scandinavia become major markets, with Japan emerging as Gloverall's largest export market by mid-decade. In 1977, Gloverall's export sales were recognised in the Silver Jubilee Honours list.
