CoyoteFox Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Q: Where should a full-length coat come to? Or maybe I should ask: Q: Is there a standard measurement that a furrier would use or recommend from the floor? Women's? Men's? Thanks!
WinnipegFur Posted January 21 Posted January 21 The few "men's" full length coats Ive acquired seem to come just below my knees by 2-3 inches... the women's full length coats all seem to be past mid shin on most women... personally for me, the longer the better... 1
Jerome Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Indeed a good question. Floor length, ankle length, full length ... what is the difference? Measured from the floor, I would say: Floor length: 1 - 4 inch Ankle length: 3 - 8 inch Full length: 10 - 16 inch Pretty subjective and dependent on the size of the person Indeed, the longer the better 2
Panther10 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) I don’t think there is any true set rule for full length coats. Maybe if you are shopping off the rack a ladies full length fur will hover somewhere around 51” long and a men’s will be somewhere between 55” and 58”. But to be fair there is no set measurement. To give you a perfect example I usually wear custom made fur coats and because I’m around 6’ 2” and I request that all of my furs be full to maxi length (i.e. ankle length) all of my furs usually end up around 60”-63” long depending on the fur and how many skins are available. And I’m sure for most male clients who choose to order custom full length furs, that length can run the gamut as well. Also I’ve seen some ladies custom coats that are either longer or shorter than the standard 51”. The could be anywhere from 46”-54” depending on the height of the wearer.

dongleboy Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) I like this picture from a Tik-Tok video of a polo match in St. Moritz. Money obviously no object! Edited January 29 by dongleboy 1
kev86 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 I find these furs absolutely beautiful and the work of their pelts is just amazing... After, personally I don't care about this place, peoples who judging by the appearance are not interesting for me... I respect different ideas and thinking, please respect my thinking... 1
furs limited Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Great sables. Nouveaux rich or old money - it's wonderful to see support for the craft, locally or worldwide.

Jerome Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Indeed , this is one of those wonderful coats in which I would love to wrap myself. It must be an extreme pleasure to walk around in such marvel.

furrybob Posted February 4 Posted February 4 My spec. for a coat is lenght 1.25m (~50") to a max of about 1.35 (54"), sweep 2.5m (100") preferably more. I also need a chest size of 3X (or more) For a car coat I will acceopt a lenght of abot 1.04 (~42"), and for a jacket 0.98- 1m. If the coat is really desirable eg SABLE, I might not keep to those requirements.
Jerome Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Sweep of 2,5 m is a bare mininmum. I like it over 3 m. It also depends on the fur. I have several minks with sweeps above 3 m, but my widest phantom beaver is 2,8 m.
paul2809 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I think it depends on what us fur lovers want in lenght...perfect example, my full lenght gallery brand faux fur coat is atleast 55inches lenght long...hits my ankles well...former owner was over 6foot 2...& im 5foot 7... it is a lucious 3x with a sensous hood on it as well... I really think it is the body type that makes the fit right.....
MAINLYMINK Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Is there a reason that most sables are now worked horizontally? This has been mentioned before; but I think vertically worked is far more attractive. Is it cheaper for manufacture, maybe? 1 1
