critique the fit of my new trench coat please!

[schnazzy]

I'm definitely getting the sleeves shortened. How's the fit of the rest of the coat? Will the tailor be able to slim it down any? Thanks

didj your dad give it to you?

I like it. Sleeves shortened, body slimmed down, and it will look good. Details?

+1.

It looks just like just one I saw at BR the other day? Is that it?

 

[gnatty8]

I think it might be BR, looks very familiar.

I purchased it from Banana Republic for $199 the other day!


Which part of the body would they be slimming down? Perhaps I should take a picture of the back's construction. Shoulders look fine

I think you can get bye without slimming down the body.
Sleeves are definitely too long though.

^ Agree, the belt might be enough.

just shorten the sleeves.
trenches are supposed to have that gathered look at the waist.

I like the coat. I myself was looking for a trench recently but decided against it due to the fact I live in Orange County, CA and will have very few opportunities to wear one.

this is pretty hilarious becaus I live in the OC aswell and bought this at South Coast Plaza.

thanks for all the replies people! Getting the sleeves shortened and I probably won't slim down depending on how it looks once I try it on with a suit.


****

if I am wearing a suit, where is the sleeve supposed to fall? past my jacket? Between my wrist and the first knuckle of my thumb?

Just get the sleeves altered and it should look fine.

I agree with the sleeves being too long. I think you could pull off the length. The coat looks pretty nice
