Anyone with a Barbour Beadnell coat?

Having thrown away my 25 yr old Barbour 18m ago, only for them to be ok to wear again, I have decided to get a new one. My old one was a proper farmers's coat.. square and unflattering but it looks like the new ones have some shape to them.

However looking online the Beadnell coats seem to have too short sleeves.. lots of reviews mention it. As a lanky person I don't want them above my wrists!

Anyone got one who can tell me (I'd be buying a size 12 and I'm 5 ft 7) what the fit is like.. or are other styles any better?

Ah thanks..is that with the cuffs down or turned up? I tried on my brother's girlfriends size 10 and they were too short on me.. above my wrists, but the coat itself wasa bit snug so I'd need a 12. It may be of course that I'm a spider :/

I find the sleeves short, I'm 8-10, 5 foot 7 I have international parka, hawkstone and have had few others. I get a gap between coat and gloves when pram pushing. I always do with coats, just got spoilt my Merrel coats!!
