Wool coat for a short guy?
Hi everybody! I'm looking for a lined wool coat/jacket I will be able to layer over a sweater and a shirt that will help me make it through the NYC winter. I'd love to spend $500 or less, if possible.
Here's the catch: I'm 5'2" with fairly broad shoulders. My height makes it so that most coats make me look like I'm wearing my dad's as a loaner. (He's actually shorter than me, but you know what I mean.) I'd like some winter-wear I don't need to swim in.
Here are my measurements (or just about):
Chest: 36 inches
Shoulder to shoulder: ~17 inches
Pit to pit: ~19 inches
Center back to hem (jacket): ~24 inches
Bottom of collar seam to hem (collared shirt): 27.5 inches
Sleeve length from center back (jacket): ~33.125 inches
Sleeve length from shoulder: ~24 inches
For some additional context, I tried on the attached jacket from Toast recently and loved it, but the sleeves were too long and the shoulders felt too tight to layer a sweater underneath. In my experience, jacket-length garments tend to work better for me, but I'm open to longer coats if I can find somewhere to try them on.
Thanks in advance for your help!
