Advice on online buying and female to male size conversions

[Efferus33]

Hi,

I need some advice on female to male size conversion. For the backstory the only mink coat I've bought was in a shop and it is L/XL. In terms of body it looks very big and and I still have plenty of space in the shoulders but it's hard to assess how much.

I've seen some very interesting offers on the internet but I'm a bit unsure about women to men size conversion I should apply, so here I am seeking for advice. To give you an idea, my chest measurement is 90cm and I measure 185cm (for those who don't visualise I have a tall/thin build). I mostly wear male M sized clothes, male S is too small on shoulders and length for me.

Do you think I could risk buying women M-L sized fur coats? I'm looking for a long coat so total length shouldn't be an issue. I'm not sure if the worst would be the sleeves or the shoulders.

If I find a vintage shop with women M-L sized coat could I try them to check even if they are not fur coats? I don't have any second hand fur shop nearby to experiment unfortunately.

I'm looking forward to see your advice!
