I've had a double-breasted camel overcoat for some time now. It comes well below the knee, which I'm fine with, but it looks a bit long to me (maybe I'm getting more picky, or styles have changed, or I just didn't pay much attention when I bought the coat). Are there any guidelines on how far (e.g., mid-calf) a coat of this type should hit?

Thanks!

Any length from the knees to mid-calf is within the realm of the classic. Modern coats usually run considerably shorter, which is probably why you think it looks odd.
