Man in long carrick coat with five pelerines or capes
Man in long carrick coat with five pelerines or capes. Our young men shorten their jackets but lengthen their coats.

The solution is quite simple - give the excess in the coat to the jacket. Man in long carrick coat with five pelerines or capes. Our young men shorten their jackets but lengthen their coats.
