Duffel Coat Fit & Stiffness
Hello Gentlemen, I have come across a duffel coat and would like to understand whether it fits. I did two tests for its fit. The first test, I wore it on its own over an OCBD shirt and it felt snug on me, like a great fit, but when I tried moving me arms, I felt a bit constricted, due to the heaviness of the wool in the coat. In the second test, I wore it over a suit jacket. When I stood still, I did not feel any problems. But once I started moving my arms, I felt constricted once again due to the heaviness of the coat. The coat fit overall is looser than a suit jacket (so it can be layered on top of a suit jacket), 1 inch wider at the shoulders, a couple inches wider at the chest, and the sleeve length covers the wrist and is above the pinch of the hand. Is this constriction of movement normal for this coat? Is it something that will loosen up with repeated wears? I found the coat in a thrift store so may have already been worn for a long time, so this may not be the case. Thank you for reading my message!
