Fit check on raglan coat (balmacaan)?
Hi all. I want your opinion of the fit of this coat.
Sleeves will need adjusting. It falls about 1” above the knee, which I know isn’t as ideal these days. On the other hand, I commute by driving so maybe it’s more practical?
Really I’m asking about the proportions. Does it work or should I look for something longer?

I think it works well overall! You’re spot on in your judgement about the sleeves. The length imo is good, but a longer length will not impact you while driving fwiw, it’s a matter of personal preference.
I like a much longer coat. I find this length to be kinda awkward personally. It’s not a big long coat and it’s not short enough to be a jacket or Peacoat type garments.
I see. I guess it’s car coat length, which might look dated. It’s hard to find pictures of how coats should look when all the models are like:
These coats are probably normal sized, it’s just the models are tall
I’m able to return it. Any recommendations on coats like mine that are longer? (At least to look at)
This might do the trick for you

Thanks! I didn’t even know about this
The dimensions actually look so promising!
Let me know what you think if you get it! I discovered Bellief through a Derek Guy recommendation a couple of years ago. Doesn't get a lot of love outside Korea, it seems. I have a pair of linen trousers from them that I like a lot. Been eyeing the Balmacaans but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Out of stock of the size I’d want. But now I’m looking at the pleated pants 😁
Damn that's a deep cut brand. Someone described it as Drake's inspired. But also somehow 1/4 of the price. is clothing just that much cheaper in Korea? I don't get it
Some of the pieces have poly blended in. Also the construction isn't quite as good as the better-known trad brands. But I just love the Ivy style.
I see. It's probably manufactured somewhere else too. But stll pretty cool. Like a Korean Spier & Mackay except even simpler
