I totally agree with all your points. Especially how the defined waist is so important. I have a rectangle body shape so it’s even more crucial for me to create those curves! It just really sucks that the trend for coats right now is an oversized/mens-wear style that doesn’t have a fitted look let alone a defined waist 😠 so it’s been like impossible to find one that does

You are correct! Purchasing a coat is an investment that can last many years, depending on the maker and the quality of the garment. The way you take care of it is crucial as well. I have three older sisters, and one year my sister and I traded coats with one another of instead of purchasing a new coat for fashion reasons. It saved us both money and I had gotten so many compliments on this tweed long tailored coat. I remember my favorite coat was a black belted long flared at the bottom coat. It also had a silver fox trim collar which kept me very warm. My mom purchased it at Abraham & Strauss, Company. For all you youngsters it used to be a department store simular to Macy’s. Since she worked in the store she would receive a discount on purchases even if the item was on sale. So she often would come home with some treasure from this quality store. I loved the A-lined, belted black coat on you. I also loved the brown faux- fur brown jacket at the beginning (the one with the sleeves too long). I would have liked to purchase that, but I did not see a link for this jacket. BYW: I had one in an off-white and kept it for many years. After being teased about it by my sisters, I gave it to Goodwill. Now I wish I had kept it! I am very happy to have your channel as a guide, now that we do a lot of shopping online. You have a very good eye for choosing good pieces. Thank you!!!

If sleeves will need shortening, pick a simple, plain cuff. Vented, zippered, or other detailed, cuffs will be a lot more expensive to shorten, making the coat overall too expensive. Decorative-only buttons aren’t expensive too move, if the cuff is otherwise simple. My problem is that I’m a (naturally) busty petite, if I want a coat to close in front, the shoulders are always too big. (Something to think about before implants, nothing fits properly if over a C or max, a D, cup). But, I don’t think wrap styles are warm, it’s my upper chest and neck that feels the cutting wind the most. Even petite coats can have enormous 5” shoulder seams, 4” is better on narrow frames.
