Does a fit check with Angie before I cut the tags. It is a lovely coat though, definitely the nicest one I've ever had at least. I have to give it Aritzia, they do seem to know what they're doing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403821 Mon, 19 Jan 2026 15:31:49 +0000 RobinF 2403821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coat! I think I like sleeves a little bit on the longer side which is handy since I am short with proportionate arms! :)&nbsp; Of course, too long just looks too big. Probably the inch mark is most useful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403818 Mon, 19 Jan 2026 15:17:18 +0000 Sisi 2403818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful coat! That type of collar is very "useful" in cold weather. Rare to find though.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403788 Mon, 19 Jan 2026 07:46:13 +0000 Star (Lise) 2403788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning coat Helena!

That's what I'll do. I added the find. I know I usually avoid gray, but this particular shade is one that I actually really like for me, and I wanted something neutral and practical for deep winter (i.e not a light colour, adequately lined, and the high neck is ideal also). I had a similar coat in a similar shade for many years and it was perfect - alas I grew out of it a couple years ago, and just now finally decided to bite the bullet and get a replacement! Better late than never!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403683 Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:55:34 +0000 Angie 2403683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excited to see your new coat,<b> Helena</b>! An inch past the wrist bone is a practical length. No riding up, and you can use your hands properly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403680 Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:48:34 +0000 Helena 2403680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz! It's an Aritzia one, I'll make a find Just a little spendy for me so I started overthinking the required tailoring and thought I'd better check. Unlike me to overthink, I know hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403672 Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:39:26 +0000 Suz 2403672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like mine at that suggested length. Can't wait to see the coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeve-length-on-a-wool-winter-coat#post-2403662 Sun, 18 Jan 2026 19:13:46 +0000 Helena 2403662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA, I meant to label this under Ask Angie, whoops! Appreciate help though from anyone who knows more about this stuff than I do </p> <p>Hi all, anyone with expertise in the matter, what do you suggest for sleeve length for a wool winter coat? I've just purchased a new winter coat that was pricey-for-me, and the sleeves need tailoring. Don't want to make a mistake!</p> <p>Looking back at Angie's advice, I'm thinking 3/4inch to 1 inch past my wrist bone? Or do you go longer for a winter coat?</p> <p>Appreciate the help; thank you! </p>
