Hi StyleForum! Long time anonymous lurker; first time posting. I'm looking to purchase a winter overcoat, something I've never bought or shopped for before now.
I'm 6'4" 200 lb. Suit size is 42/44 Long/Extra Long, depending on cut and style. (e.g. Lapels tend to pop up on 42 in slimmer styles, but 44 in non-slim styles are usually too big in the shoulders; some slimmer models need the "Extra Long", if available, for sleeve length.) Arm length is 27" and shirt sleeve size is 37.
Looking online, I have seen almost no overcoats in long sizes. I realize we're currently past the winter shopping season, but I don't even see long sizes listed as "out of stock" -- just not listed at all. Am I crazy? Blind? Just not searching the right places? Or do overcoat makers just not make long sizes like they do for suit jackets and sport coats? And I assume there isn't much (if any) material to lengthen most overcoat sleeves, correct?
Specifics on the overcoat I'd like: navy blue, single-breasted, knee-length or just-above-knee-length, no concealed front buttons, notched lapel, no belt or half-belt, some cashmere is okay but not 100% cashmere, new or very gently used, price $1000 or less (but I'd make an exception for something exceptional).
Anything you guys can do to help me out would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
