The Best Duster Coats for Women (2021)
So….what exactly is a duster coat, anyway?
The short answer is that it depends on you who you ask.
To begin the longer answer, there is consensus that duster coats generally refer to long, loose-fitting coats that are made from warm-weather fabrics such as canvas or linen.
This distinction is key when comparing duster vs. trench coats, as the latter tends to be shorter and, more importantly, is specifically designed for wet weather protection.
While few people know the etymology of duster coats, the background actually makes a ton of sense.
Originally, duster coats were worn by American cowboys and other frontiersman to protect their coats and clothing from trailing dust while on horseback.
While the purpose and utility of duster coats may have slightly changed since the days when horseback was a primary transportation method, the ethos and aesthetic of duster coats has remained relevant in today’s fashion world.
