Fellow tall women - where did you get your coat?

[billybunter]

I'm 5.11 tall, so I'm looking for a coat longer in the body and arms.

Thus far have trawled through long tall Sally and next's (tall section) websites but not found the coat I'm after.

I'd like something casual (wear with jeans), mid thigh length and but double breasted.

Does anyone know a good place for tall women to shop for coats?

Sorry that should be NOT double breasted. (my cup runneth over already)

i use new look or dorothy perkins tall range

5ft 11 too

I'm 5'10" and I found one in Jigsaw - although that was 2 years ago. (Last year's was from JoJoMamanBebe...)

I rely on Zara and Mango for properly cut clothes (I'm 5'10). I have three different coats from them and the length is just right, even when it comes to sleeves.

Long Tall Sally have some decent coats (don't like LTS per se but their coats are OK - and most importantly fit properly). Look at 'Orlando', as I think that fits your bill.

Just read that you've already tried LTS .

How come nobody answered my thread on this exact same thing! :o

Littlewoods South range is ok, sleeve length reviews are not good though, thought maybe the sleeves could be unpicked?
I have a Next tall range fitted coat, it's a bit Del Boy esque but it fits like a glove.
TKMax are good if you have no DC's with you! Then you can try on a good thirty or so coats.

I am 5'11" too and have been looking for the ideal winter coat for SO many years because I need something warm for walking with kids to school. Nothing was ever long enough in arms and body or warm enough.

I too have coats from Next tall range and Long Tall Sally but these are smarter coats and not warm enough for the school walk.

Last week in desperation I bought a Merrell Isadore but today I tried on a North Face Arctic Parka and it fit everywhere - it was so lovely and warm - just wish I had seen it before I bought the merrell (so if anyone would like to buy a merrell at a knock down price just holler because I must have that north face parka!!!)

What's your Merrell look like!!

I always bought mine in Topshop, the tall range in there for coats is quite good.

I bought a lovely purple coat in Esprit last year- am 6 feet tall, and a good 16 top.
I have a Gap padded coat which is lovely and warm, even though dh calls it my chav coat.
I really fancy a new practical coat- will look at North Face.

I am 5ft 11 too. I find sizing up (from a 10 to a 12) can often help a bit in sleeve length.

I bought this from Zara hoping it would be long enough and the sleeves are too short, it is going back:
zara long quilted anorak

I also got this from uniqlo - not glamorous but hopefully good for school run type situations and the sleeves are blissfully long and it's a good length on the body. I got the medium which supposedly equals 12 and would say as a warning it is pretty generously sized
uniqlo down coat

My smart coats are from Oilily. They seem to be cut for tall, narrow people.

Sorry to gatecrash your post bb but does anyone also have suggestions for track suit bottoms - I'm only 5'9" but none of the sports branded ones come in a longer length - it's either short or regular

Countess -if you google merrell isadore you will see it. It really is lovely, long, warm and fitted but now just prefer the north face one.

Summer111-Next sell track suit bottoms in long, extra long and tall range. I am 5'11" with very long legs and the tall range are about 4" too long for me. I am positive you will get a pair in Next that will fit.

I second Next.

I'm 5 10 and have never had a problem finding coats

billy, are you SURe you want double breasted??

gibba that's a nice coat!! What size are you and what would you want for it?

Summer111 long tall Sally have some gorgeous tracksuits.

what about this?

Very nice but £120 ?? :o

try this my new object of desire

They've got them in Primark for about £15 :o

Thank you ladies! Off now to see what I can get in Next!!!

Countess-paid £199 for it last saturday but would accept £150. It is a size 12. I am off to try on a north face parka tommorrow.

I'm a 14, oh well. It's a bit more than I would spend too, I'm sure if you put it on eBay you'd get it sold though?
