It seems these are the ones for reasonably stylish waterproof bum coverage. Can anyone tell me about the fit? I'm 5ft 2 and slightly worried that the sleeves will be too long, and can't see any local stockists or online retailers with free returns. The Thelma looks like the one I fancy for decent length..

I'm 5ft2 as well and the sleeves are fine. Not hanging over my hands or anything. Mine has a sort of sweatshirt fabric cuff inside the sleeve which I suppose keeps it in place more.

I've got this one http://www.vikingkids.co.uk/didriksons/AW14-Ronja-ladies-coat.htm which is Ronja which was replaced with https://www.didriksons.com/en-gb/products/covert-womens-jacket_152500532007 Covert.

On me it's arse covering but not long which is what I wanted.

The sleeves are quite long on mine (I'm 5' 3") but I love it and don't really care. I just roll them under inside and they sort of stay that way. Because of the adjustable wrists, I guess.

Uh oh. Out of stock in my preferred size / colour. What is the sizing like? I'm a 10, or 8 if vanity sizing (i.e. Marks and spencer and Tesco).

@savoy, that's lovely, looks perfect for winter, looking for an un- lined one for spring / summer rain.

I'm 5 foot and my Thelma was just too big on me . The sleeves are really long . I eBay ed it in the end because I saw a tall woman wearing it and it looked amazing . I realised it looked shit on me !!
