As per title, recently I've been looking everywhere for a full length trench coat (i.e. calf length) and I simply cannot find one from an European brand (or at all, indeed, but importing from America is so expensive that I usually don't even bother looking). It seems as if fashion industry has decided men don't get to wear full length coats anymore, they are only for women.
I can't afford 1k+€, for starters, so Burberry, Aquascutum and Coherence are out (btw I really cannot quite grasp how a machine-made cotton raincoat can cost as much as a bespoke wool overcoat, even with such name brands).
I've looked up and down ebay for one vintage, too, but nothing in my size, at least not at less than *several* hundreds, which seems way too much for heavily used items, often stained.
All other retailers I've seen have models that are either thigh length (decent looking, but not very practical for a raincoat) or hip length (which looks completely terrible, and is even less practical).
Closest I've found is Brooks Brothers, but starts from 40''/50IT for some reason, and it still falls short (and it's still crazy expensive, but they do do massive sales from time to time).
Does anyone know of any other brand that sells one?
