I asked for advice on here regarding buying a downcoat from uniqlo for a short guy like me a few days ago and the anons said it would probably be too long, and they were right. I bought the XXS size of pic related (but navy) and while the sleeves and form were perfect, the length was stupidly long and almost went to my knees. it's as if the company sees no height difference between XXS and S. the online sizing chart was clearly useless then and I'm going to return the coat instore. my plan is to also try on the other coats instore but they only have XS or higher in stock so it's quite annoying. I even looked at kids' clothing that had a similar style but they cost around the same as this coat ~£130 and I don't know if they're good quality since the major component is polystyrene on average. at this point I just want to know
>if kids coats would be worth the cost or not?
I'm not even talking about just down coats, even parkas or insulated ones are good. I want to get a coat in a simliar style i.e. not puffy, looks slim, black/navy and covers my arse a bit, and can be worn in all occasions. this coat is comfy so it sucks I have to return it. I pondered over possibly shortening the hem but then that's probably impractical with all the down. sorry for the rant

what on earth? parkas stop before the knees and if a short guy wears a long parka it makes him look shorter - that's what the anons told me last time and what I realised myself after looking in the mirror

What is your caste? I notice only the medium skinned Indians buy Ralph Lauren. The dark tamil looking ones dont. No idea what light skin indians do.

Yes, you. I was right. Why is it just you guys shopping at places like RL?

idk, I mean I don't own anything from them, the only thing my parents have from RL is a coat my mum bought for my dad. 99% of my clothes are from primark, tesco, h&m and ebay since we're not well off. maybe another medium brown indian can answer your question

although if I were to guess, the same reason you see chinese buying similar i.e. it's a brand so a sort of status symbol and they can afford it. it's possible the indians you've seen are tourists who will be more likely to buy that stuff rather than 2nd generation ones.
