Purchased A New Winter Coat
[ Friday October 30th 2026 at 12:52 pm ]

I have found a winter coat that fits my long arms. The trade off was buying XXL. I am almost positive I will want to bring the coat to a seamstress to see if a modification is possible and what it would look like. Otherwise I can live with a winter coat that feels like it is giving me a bear hug while I am wearing it. The extra width gets out of the way when I am using my power wheelchair seat belt and wearing my hip sack. The winter coat essentially folds onto itself. It is very warm and comfortable. This was the 8th winter coat I tried on. Being tall and having longer than average arms made it tricky finding a winter coat that would not cut into my armpits and cause me pain. I am glad I have this purchased. When the winter weather arrives I will be ready for it.
