What's a good source for overcoats that go down to the knee? Contemporary models all seem to end at the upper thigh and I don't think that's a flattering look.

Cutting off at the knee is awkward because it's right at a joint. Perhaps look into 3/4 coats which go to mid-thigh. Pea coats, car coats, duffle coats, it'll be much easier to find this length in a variety of styles.

Maybe I should have said "past the knee", because I don't like the coats you described or have one already. But thank you for the advice anyway.

If you're able, shop around thrift stores for vintage Burberry. You can find some good prices on coats that go to like mid calf, at a pretty good price. ime ebay isn't the best for this but you can try ig

Long coats are based if only because H&M and Zara doesn't sell that length wool coats.

Thrift stores seem to be a decent first option. I got one from a milsurp store that fits the bill, just have to replace the shiny buttons with civilian ones.

knowing Simon that's probably a bespoke overoat costing like £5000

Overcoats by nature extend below the knee because they are traditionally worn over a suit to protect it from the elements. You seem to be talking about topcoats, which are a shorter coat that end at mid thigh or above.

Lots of brands. Vintage is good b/c quality overcoats last a long time and you can get them for pennies on the dollar. Otherwise, go the the Rake, the Armoury, No Man Walks Alone, Mr Porter. All those webstores will carry a number of different fuller overcoat brands.
