1/6     My torso is a size S (36" chest) but my arms are at 34" which is a
        size M.  With dress shirts I can get exactly what I need because it's
        fitted.  But with coats I'm having a hard time getting something
        that'll fit me.  I'm looking at wool/cashmere coats.  S is too short
        arm-wise but M is too big around my torso.  I'd imagine that
        expensive coats ($300-$500 range) would be fitted like shirts instead
        of coming in S, M, L, etc.  Anybody have the same problem?  What
        brand of coats come in fitted sizes?  This is formal wear so I can't
        look like a clown.  Thanks.
        \_ Go to a decent shop, get fitted and the coat tailored. It'll be
           worth it.  A good sportscoat will last years.
        \_ I'm a mixed size as well and tried Benetton and Zara. They have
           european cuts and I found stuff that fit me well.
