What a conversation I started. Haha! Anyways, I still really like the coat. I also do agree length is a bit longer for my taste, but I would like a longer overcoat that falls below the knee and also doesnt drop too low. Winters in New England and in the Midwest have made me appreciate a longer overcoat. I also apologize for the “rushed” after work picture of the garment on. Was pretty excited to try it on.
Anyways, I have rather large shoulders and child-bearing hips. Genetic and gym curse. In this case, the shoulders of the Ulster do fit exactly where they need to be. No bunching, or rippling and seam is right at my shoulder with and without a suit coat on underneath. The length of the sleeves are excessive OTR, and will need alterations, as well as the waist and length if the coat overall. Based off that, I am going to exchange for a 44. Based off the measurement guide on the website it is only a difference .5” in the Shoulder, with chest and waist coming down a bit as well. I suppose we’ll see.
My pictures are **** 99% of the time so don't mind me lol. Before you exchange, I would try on a sportcoat or suit jacket underneath the coat (or a thick sweater) to see how it fits. If you feel that there is still lots of room to move around, then going down a size may be beneficial. The coat and the length looks wicked cool.
