Overcoat for my height (169cm)
Hey everyone,
It’s getting cold here in Sweden and I’m looking to buy an overcoat. However, most of the overcoats I’ve tried were too big for me. Does anyone know where to buy a warm overcoat for my size (preferably in Sweden or in the EU)? My budget is maximum around EUR 300.
I saw this from Cos but I don’t think they put the length of the overcoat.

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

How are they big? Shoulder? Length? Or pit?
You could take a look at some Japanese brands those generally are made for people around that height
Overcoats are supposed to be longer fyi
For me the problem is the length. I can’t seem to find a length the only goes knee level. They’re always longer. But maybe it’s just me not being used to overcoats cuz I’ve never worn them since I have always lived in a tropical country and I feel like I look so small when I wear one.
But do you think that this overcoat from Cos is worth the price or are there better quality ones around that price range?
In past decade, overcoat tends to be shorter just barely cover the butt, but that the wrong way to go imo. The longer length near knee or past knee is more correct as it give you more protection and drape better.
Not familiar with cos so i cant comment on that. Prob any brand that does marketing you might find something better on sale.
I think u can get a used Norwegian Rain Moscow with ur budget 🙂
Ring jacket, often made for Ships or Beams. Or other stuff those carry.
Long overcoats are functional! But if you don't like them then what can ya do.
