Protected species??

Hi
I’m interested to hear from anyone with a protected species coat. What’s the sleeve length like? My arms are short and I see they’ve got beautiful sleeve detailing so won’t easily be shortened.
I’m 5’2” but probably arms of a 5’0 person (I need to buy petite formal jackets even though I don’t wear petite trousers or dresses).

Thanks!

I have a Protected Species parka - my arms are long Blush and the sleeves fit me perfectly. Probably not what you wanted to hear!

Not good news for me unfortunately Sad

I'm 5'7 and "average". My sleeves seem fine.

My mac is quite new and I bloody love it though!Grin

You might be able to get the sleeves taken off and altered from the shoulder to keep the buckle detail, but it would be a bit of a job.

Beautiful coats, might be worth it!

The smallest size (6-8) has reasonably small arms length wise (come to my hands, not dangling over my fingers) I am similar size to you probably, but perhaps I have weirdly long arms and have never known about it Blush Grin
Email them if in doubt, excellent customer service

I have the commuter in grey, I'm 5ft 0 Grin

Sleeves are fine, there's a handy button to tighten them and when I push mine up they stay in place when not on the tightest setting.

I love my coat, free postage and returns (I ordered a few and returned them)

Top class customer service too.

(DH - I want the city walker seeing as you are reading this over my shoulder...)
