Would love some advice on this overcoat I thrifted. It’s Nautica and seems to be constructed pretty well. My question is do you all think it fits well? It hits pretty low on the legs imo and the shoulders aren’t as relaxed as I’d like. I don’t wanna look like a gangster in a old film. Do you think it works and if so what can I pair it with besides a suit?
