I can't decide whether this coat feels a little large, particularly the length. I really love the material and general feel of it though.

Thanks!

I think it is not bad with slim denim.

Thanks guys. It's one of those situations where I saw it on the hangar and LOVED it, then found it for half price but now that I have it, I'm not so sure! I'm just worried it looks a bit scruffy...

Let me put it this way:

It's the correct size.

I'd rock the **** out of that thing. It fits perfectly.

Do you know the specific brand/name? Looking for something similar.

Looks like Fred Perry, I bought a similar jacket from the FP store last week, they had a pretty good deal going on it (50% off)

You'll appreciate the extra inch or two when it's sleeting sideways at you. It'll keep ice from getting in your trouser pockets. Long fowl weather coats are the ****.

It's a Fred Perry Hooded Yacht jacket. It was 50% off in the sale, from £295 down to £147.50. I'm really torn over it. It's one of those purchases that you love the thought of, but the reality doesn't quite match. The other jacket I was looking at was this £80 Selected Homme jacket. The feel is much cheaper, but the fit seems a little more fitted.
