Can you help me find a coat with extra long sleeves?

The weather was a bit spring-like today and it inspired me to try and find a lighter weight coat.

want something fairly lightweight, but still warm enough for a chilly, windy spring day.

Maybe a quilted jacket, or something similar. I love the look of the Beatrice puffer jacket from Fat Face, but I know it would be too short in the body for me. (Also ideally want to spend around £50 rather than £90)

My main problem is I have a long torso, broad shoulders, and the most ridiculously long arms ever. I can never find anything to fit, usually end up wearing a gilet and thick jumper.

But I am ever optimistic and hoping this year might be the one I find something. Can anyone help?

I am of the long armed variety too and find Zara and Gap fit well.

I am tall with wide shoulders and long arms - I find the coats in the 'Tall' ranges in Dorothy Perkins and Next fit me well

Ooh, thanks, I wouldn't have thought of any of those! I will have a look.

Top Shop has a tall range & ASOS has its own range of tall clothes.

Try Long Tall Sally... big range of styles, high quality, very generous with shoulder width, length, sleeves, they have sale on coats at mo.

Tallgirls (online only) is also good.

Rab (outdoor brand) is generous with sleeve length and shoulder width.

New Look, DP, Next, Topshop all do tall ranges... Very also has coats from different tall ranges, very good value.
