Sleeve length on coats
I'm wondering why the fit (sleeves) on the first pic looks good, while on the second pic (mine) they look not so good?

I think they’re very different angles so it’s tough to say
yea my bad! Hope this 2nd pic helps
But I think the strong sewed in shoulder seam has a lot to do with it
On my coat there are soft dropped shoulders
I was thinking that too! Maybe longer sleeves that cover the hands are easier to pull off with a raglan coat?
So that combined with the very long length and oversized sleeves reads as more intentional I think
And it really does look like a bathrobe, which usually drapes that way
With yours I think those shoulders are so strong that one would expect the sleeves to be at the right length too.
Yea, I'm also noticing his doesn't have buttons, which mine do, and they look like they sit too far down
Is there a name for these coats that look like bathrobes?
I kind of like them
I’m not sure really but that’s just the name of that coat given to it by the designer
Here it is in a different fabric
It's really cool, love the drape
Yeah thank you, I love it too
robe coat
(not a joke)
Thanks!
Basically what Pierre has said. Yours is more of a proper overcoat and is much less slouchy. But I think it’s honestly workable if you play into it.
A raglan shoulder or a robe style coat is going to make it easier tho for sure
Hmm how would you play into it?
Just with more slouchy vibes. Like the first fit in the OP the wide pants and general casualness and softness of the fit, textures, knit, etc. I think plays into the cozy vibes that the long sleeves and slouchy style of coat bring to the table.
There are a billion and one ways to do this and just because you might be wearing a proper overcoat doesn't mean it can't have slouchy and cozy vibes.
@awburkey how is this? I figure if I have some heavy wide fit pants it would be even better
I think you really need wide pants yeah
And lose the t shirt
T shirt was just what I was wearing lol but yeah wouldn't let it poke out otherwise
