Correct and Incorrect Fitting Hunt Coat Example
Examples of correct coat lengths
Spike is 5'8" and her coat length is a 27-27.5". Megan is 5'10" and her coat length is a 28"-28.5". These are JUST guides and EACH person is unique so PLEASE use your OWN judgement but pay close attention to the sleeve and coat length when being measured. If you have a current coat that fits, we suggest measuring it's length so you are aware of what your coat length measurement is.

This coat is clearly too short for this person. Notice the button in her breeches shows as the coat splits up high because it is too short.
