Sleeves are long in my private white peacoat too and I was aware of it when I bought it. I really don't mind it though, the weather is cold so I prefer to sacrifice some style to keep my wrists warm. But that's their bridgecoat, not their peacoat. Their peacoat is cleaner and don't have a vent in the back.View attachment 1734114 View attachment 1734115 View attachment 1734116 View attachment 1734117 View attachment 1734118
Hello, I just bought a new peacoat from Private White VC, but am worried about the length of the jacket and sleeves being too long. What do you think? Are there any inherent noticeable tailoring that should be done?
Thank you! Where should the sleeves hit when they are fully extended?Sleeves look a bit too long but that’s an easy fix.
Length of the coat is a personal choice but being slightly longer is an asset IMO.
I’d be more concerned about the gaping rear vent. If the coat is draping correctly the inner pleat and buttons are not supposed to be visible.
I see. I suppose this is a fortunate mistake then, because seeing how I'm able to wear a jacket underneath is amazing.Sleeves are long in my private white peacoat too and I was aware of it when I bought it.

Sleeves should end 1/2 way between the wrist joint and the knuckles.Thank you! Where should the sleeves hit when they are fully extended?
And yes, I left the vents unbuttoned so that is the reason why it is showing so much!

For its military and naval origin, a peacoat is in essence a utilitarian garment made to withstand cold and damp weather by seamen. Melton wool is a robust, thick, dense weave, perfect for that kind of use.Hello, does anybody has experiences with the „Ben Sherman Plectrum Made in England“-Pea Coat? Is it recommendable?
Also.. would you always stick to melton wool or would you also consider a wool-cashmere- or wool-angora-blend?
