DUFFEL BAG

A 'duffel bag' (or 'duffle bag'), is a large cylindrical bag made of cloth with the closure at the top, often also refered to as a 'kit bag'
The name comes from Duffel a town in Belgium where the thick cloth the bag is made of originally originated. Nowadays a 'Duffel Bag' typically refers to the specific style of bag, though the phrase may also be used to refer to any large generic holdall or a bag made of thick fabric.
It is often used to carry luggage or sports equipment by people who travel in the outdoors. Duffel bags are often used by sailors, and are sometimes called seabags in this capacity.
