new overcoat: too tight or just right?
I recently lost a lot of weight and I am slowly rebuilding my wardrobe. I am a tech executive and trying to buy a new overcoat for suits/formal occasions and received this piece from Walker Slater. It's more fitted than things I've worn in the past and is 42L (I'm between sizes 42/44 for my suits and I'm wearing a suit jacket and button down under the jacket. I can move my arms and it's tight but not constricting through the waist. Does this fight look too tight or just right?

it looks tight for an overcoat
I'd size up. Gives the option of wearing more under it
Thanks I think the next size up might be too big in the shoulder. I'm going to take it to my tailor and see if he can let it out an inch
I think the next size up would be fine; look at how the shoulder divots just under the seam
You want to be able to layer under an overcoat; it’ll never be the perfect size with both minimal layers and multiple layers
looks too tight
I would rather look for another coat.
Looks tight to me. More so, coats tend to get worn at times with more layers and hence need some room.
