I didn't want to hijack Bresch's excellent bespoke Ulster coat thread, but I could use some advice on this RTW coat which I may end up keeping. Would you shorten it a bit? I usually take a short rather than a regular, but this regular coat doesn't seem particularly longer than in the Esky illustration in that other thread, but it is a bit longer (relatively speaking) than his real-life garment.
Would you shorten it? I'm in two minds.
EDIT - Final decision....
(sleeves finished, waist let out slightly, but full-length kept)
I think I'm going to leave it like this for a while and see how it wears. It the length starts to bug me, I'll shorten it; for now I've come round to thinking the extra length is rather fun.
