Dear gents,
I am seeking your advice regarding the styling of a winter overcoat I seek to commission.
The fabric is https://apparel.hollandandsherry.co...contemporary-overcoats-navy-large-herringbone , a heavy 850g/m out of lambswool.
Almost everybody here seems to recommend a double breasted and I personally would like the style a lot e.g. https://www.pinterest.de/pin/648588783813955967/
However, my tailor seems to think that this would not be very flattering on my body because I am only 1.74. In his view, the DB Overcoat is flattering for taller people.
However, I like:
1. the style
2. the extra layer of cloth for added warmth in cold winters of Berlin
3. the peak lapels which, imho, look worse on a single breasted.
What would you do in my situation?
Insist on a style/build you like or go with the tailor's advice?
Thank you!
