Hmm, to my eye, the coat just looks too large everywhere. I suppose it would all depend on how the fit feels to you, but I wonder if simply shortening the coat would solve only one sizing issue?
have you sought the expert opinion of your tailor? What'd he say?
Nah, I can confidently say that isn't the case. It's a _very_ fitted overcoat as it is. I'm wearing a jacket under it in that pic and the shoulders are absolutely perfect, the armholes have just enough movement, the waist is absolutely form-fitting (sorry, I'm no mannequin) and couldn't be suppressed further without me not being able to fit into it. If it looks too large all round, that's down to my size, not the the coat's!
Don't sell it...it sounds like you really like it! You'll probably regret letting it go.
DO NOT sell this coat.
In my world, I think only people who are 6'3" or so and up can look good wearing a full length coat. The rest of us are better served wearing coats that are no longer than an inch or two below the knee, but ideally above the knee. Those big coats just swallow you up and they just look like robes.
