Does anyone know of anywhere that sells decent mens coats with longer sleeves?

DH (6ft5) needs a new coat desperately.

Please can anyone recommend somewhere he can get a decent coat with longer sleeves so that I can throw away his minging green fleece for good?

He doesn't like any of the stuff in the specialist shops like High and Mighty. Is there anywhere on the high street that may have anything suitable?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Dammit!

His defence on the fleece was that he couldn't find anything to replace it. He has challenged me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win.

I got DH (who is 6' 2" with disproportionately long arms) a coat in Primark (sorry!) for £10 in the sale and the arms were plenty long enough.

It was a XXL (DH is normally an XL but thought I'd get bigger for winter and Primark tend to be a bit skimpy). It was a snowboarding/ski-ing type with a green/grey/black geometric style pattern on it.

Thanks truthsweet! We are nowhere near a Primark unfortunately Sad but I'm very grateful that you replied.

Marks have a 2" longer in the arm range (DH gets his suits and long sleeve shirts from there) if that's any use?

It can be quite funny buying stuff for DH (he gets panicky in shops esp. at the weekend when it's busy so I buy everything except suits and take back as necessary) as I have to try it on and see if the sleeves reach past my finger tips. Get some odd looks trying on men's coats in shops!

My dp is also 6'5 and we get a lot of stuff from linea they sell it in house of frasier, they always do great sales aswell. It's not all massive, a nice fit too! Coats have good long sleeves!
