Impressive, you have an incredible ability for this type of work, it would be good if you made men's clothing (especially the 40's 50's style that I like) , you would have a sure buyer. haha

I love old coats, but they are no longer sold, I have not been able to find them, and when you catch them they sell them to you for an unpayable fortune. and the modern ones have different endings, even the length changes, today men's coats reach above the knee, the old ones reached below the knees and those are very difficult to find, at least here in my country. If you ever decide to make coats , please contact me haha

If you ever decide to make coats , please contact me haha Can you use eBay in the country you live in? There are several options for men's wool long trench coats there. Here is an example of one I found without much effort: www.ebay.com/itm/254897368778(I like the double buttoned ones the best myself. I think that they look more classic.) Also... Do you have 2nd chance or thrift stores in your area? I found my husband a nice long brown London Fog at our local goodwill for about $20 and it was practically brand new!

In my city there is nothing, it is a small city in the south, but I can use Ebay, but I forgot a detail, "here in my country they make the houses very low, therefore I am not tall" hahaha , so it is difficult finding something in my size, a lot of the second hand clothes on the internet are big and sending it to be fixed would destroy the coat.

In that case... Maybe you could try Amazon.com? They will tell you the exact measurements of and often have various sizes. 😅 www.amazon.com/stores/page/B335D75A-09B2-4ABF-9541-432C0AAF2216

If you ever decide to make coats , please contact me haha You can still get long coats through ASOS who ship internationally. That is where I got mine from, though it is made from wool unlike these examples: [ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4].

No worries. It is a horrid site from a modesty point of view so proceed with caution as some of the fashions are unisex so you cannot escape it by just navigating the men's section, however they do often sell good long coats and offer options specifically designed for tall persons.
