Hello.

I recently bought a military trenchcoat but I'm not sure I feel happy with the way it fits.

The coat's shoulder marks are about 1.2" (3cm) beyond my shoulder bone and I think the coat should stop right below the knee, not so much middleways between the knee and the foot. The sleeve's lining goes about 0.8" (2cm) beyond the wrist.

I know this kind of coat is supposed to be worn over other warm clothing and not so close to the body, but I don't wear that much clothing volume, and I would like to reduce the amount of tissue under the armpits and around the waist/chest/shoulders but still reaching bellow the knee and without giving the impression of wearing a miniature trenchcoat, because that is not my goal. I would like this coat to have an elegant fitting more than a heavy fitting.

This one is size M from the website (46N is written on the coat) and they also sell S, L and XL. I am wondering if an S would be too small

Thanks for reading and helping.

The sleeves look like they are rolled up. They shouldnt be that long. And it also looks too long on your body. The hem should come a little below your knee. Anything longer looks stupid and makes you look short. I dunno if you are short, though...
And yes, it looks way too baggy. Trench coats should be pretty slim fitting.

And, that isn't an actual trench coat. It has no belt, no storm patch and no rain cape at the back.

It looks too big for you. I think you should go for the small.

Go for small. Tight-fit Trenchcoats are immensely hot.

Sorry bud, it's too big. Lets see it with your arms up and you can tell if it can be fixed. If the sleeves are the only thing that's too long take it to a tailor and he'll fix it. Just take it to a tailor and ask.
