Hey guys,

I would really appreciate any feedback on how the parka fits me. I feel like it should fit more snug in the bottom and around my hips, what do you think?

In the pictures I am actually showing the space room there is before zipping the parka. If the parka is too big, what are the chances of a tailor making it fit better? I am very impressed with the quality, especially given its price of 600 EUR.

I think it's perfect. This is such a great coat, will last a lifetime. I'm looking at their Mountain Parka but you may have just changed my mind.
And yes, a good tailor can make anything fit better.

I’d want the sleeves to be longer. Aside from that it looks right to me.

It looks good to me. A parka is meant to have a larger volume -- it is not meant to be snug.
Thank you for your feedback. I guess I just got used to wear SuitSupply and tight-fitting running wear..

Yeah, the quality is outstanding, and it's really a bargain. I guess Ceccarelli isn't as known yet and not as mainstream. You don't really find their products in the usual stores where Woolrich/CG/etc is being sold.
I just checked their Mountain Parka, and it seems like a decent option as well. However, I prefer to have the extra pockets of the Alaska Parka :)

Yeah, I was thinking about the sleeves as well. Do you think I could even size up or will the parka then be too huge overall?

I wouldn’t size up. I think the sleeves aren’t overly short. At least they cover your wrists. In weather cold enough to be wearing that coat, wouldn’t you also usually be wearing gloves?
