Long-limbed ladies I need help - a really warm coat that will fit my arms

[feetheart]

I need a decent winter coat. I'm 5'10", 12 on top and 14ish bottom with gangly gibbon arms.

I walk a lot and have Raynaud's so need to be really toasty. I keep reading about Merrills and Driksons but, as usual, I'm confused. Can anyone enlighten me please?
What are the arm lengths like?

All help gratefully received :)

Didriksons have long arms. I'm 5'9 and nor face coats arms are too short. If anything the Didriksons arms are a bit long on me!

*north face, obviously

I have this problem too. Thank heaven for arm warmers!

Lands end's Tall range - super warm and great colours!

Didriksons are very long in the arm, I'm 6ft and they are slightly too long on me
I have this, but tbh I would prefer it to be a bit thicker-

Ha ha....I don't actually wear barbies dream house

I have monkey arms and Helly Hansen fit well.

I'm 6ft and Marfanoid (loooooooooong arms). I got a long, military-style (think Benedict in Sherlock) coat from Hobbs last year and a) it's so long I trip on it sometimes and b) the sleeves go right to the end of my arms. So they might have something.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, you just threw the Barbie house in to confuse me further didn't you? :)

I think I really need a sensible parka-type coat this time although the Sherlock coat sounds brilliant.

So which Didrikson do I need and is there anywhere on the high street to try them on or do I have to order first?
Or are there any more good suggestions out there?

I am 5'10 and have gibbon arms and the Merrell coats are the first in my life which have long enough sleeves. I was so impressed I bought 2..... a warm one for winter and uninsulated for wet summers

Please tell me more about the Merrill coats - which one is the warm one you got? And what is the sizing like?
I get the impression from reading on here that they come up quite small so I might need a Large (which would annoy me a bit as I'm usually a Medium and can be vain :))

Try ringing the helpline at Viking kids, the lady was so useful, I told her my size and what I needed and she made recommendations. If you are a 12-14 I'd go for a 12, mine has a little extra room in it.

I have the Mary, but sometimes feel a bit chilly, I feel the cold a lot too.

I have the Wakefield and insulated version both lovely long sleeves lovely coats

I have long arms and found the North Face arctic parka to be fine - it's worth trying on at your local Cotwolds because it's a brilliant coat.

I have a north face puffa that is long enough

I also found the North Face Arctic Parka to be really short in the arms which was really disappointing.

I did however buy a Canada Goose Trillium parka and it's fab - the sleeve cuffs reach all the way to my finger nails. I've never had a jacket with arms this long! It does unfortunately come with a real fur trim although I've zipped mine off.
