Next do a tall range but online only I think. I usually order to collect in store, try it on right there and return anything that doesn't fit. I am 6 feet tall and their sleeves are just right for me.

If you can afford it, check out J Crew tall section, they do free shipping till the end of year. I used to buy their tall stuff and it is excellent quality, though can't afford it at the moment Sad

I'm almost 6ft tall and I bought mine here. Their coats have really long sleeves. They're pricey but I think they have a couple on sale: Desiree and Isabelle. They come up really big so I'd go a size down. They're warm and toasty and waterproof - I love mine!

Marking spot!!
I remember seeing a post on coats last year and the diedrikson (?!) came up long, but I have never tried one so can't say for sure!

Definitely Next tall if you want military or fit and flare, there are some on their website, tried link but just seems to go to home page.

Does mean you have to get the Next directory though as Tall stuff only available online and I don't think you can buy from Next online without them robbing you £3.95 for directory and setting up Next account (though someone will probably come on and tell me I'm wrong about that Smile).

I get mine from long tall sally, but their styles can be a bit hit and miss. Everything else I find too short, including next tall.

Danefae coats have extra long sleeves.

Top shop tall occasionally have tall coats, on the web usually. I got a nice mac which fit lovely in the arms a couple of years ago.
