Overcoat makers
I'm wondering if there are any recs for brands which make long (and I mean like mid-calf) overcoats as opposed to the more common knee-length which most brands carry now. I'm mostly looking for balmacaan-style/adjacent coats since I already have vintage Burberry, Brooks, etc. trenches and polo coats. Thanks!!!

Budget?
preferably sub-1k but obviously a lot of whats out there is higher-end so sub-3k realistically
higher-end recs can also just fuel my ebay saved search addiction lol
Really like what No Man Walks Alone has in stock
Depending on your height SEH Kelly might work out for you. They have garment specific measurements online, so you can compare
Kaptain Sunshine Traveler Coat
Best bang for your money is seh kelly no question
Then kaptain, private white vc
Seh kelly coat length not across all coat but depend on what model. The longest is the great coat at the moment
De Bonne Facture can be found for pretty good prices used
Biggest problem I’ve had with SEH isn’t length so much as size, I float between 44-48 so they generally don’t cater my size which is tragic because I love their coats
If your budget is that generous you should look at Auralee - every AW season they make at least one showstopping balmacaan-inspired coat, and their fabrics/materials are basically the best in the business. Lemaire also makes absolutely stunning coats, but it might stray farther from the specific style you're looking for. Both of these will be more modern in styling than the brands mentioned above, which tend to work in a more traditional rustic tailoring look, so give some thought to what kind of vibe fits your stlye more.
Mfpen is another option in the modern camp - really good stuff at budget-friendlier prices because they only use deadstock fabrics. Frank Leder is an option if you like SEH Kelly. Margaret Howell kind of straddles the two aesthetics, although recently she seems to prefer short jackets over longer outerwear.
