Today I was lucky enough to thrift a very nice Odermark / Loro Piana wool and cashmere navy overcoat.
A perfect fit too, but on first impression just a tad long on me.
Looked at a few online articles about overcoat length and it seems 2 inches past the knee is perfectly acceptable for a full length coat.
Predictably my wife does not like it due to the length, as she thinks longer coats make me look short.
I'm 5'8".
So are longer coats still cool for shorter guys?
I could get this coat shortened, but right now I think it looks fine.
In every other respect it fits very well, shoulders, sleeves etc...
Will have to wear it someday when the temp drops and check myself out in a few shop window reflections.
