i have been looking for a rain coat/mac jacket, basically a thin long jacket with water repellent fabric and a fold-over collar. it's similar to a trench, but with minimalist design, so no epaulet or belt. a few examples

i ran into this one at a lands end store

relatively affordable and looks decent on (product photo does not do full justice). very light fabric, love the navy color, perfect length. but true to lands end sizing, even a size small is somewhat boxy on me. i am 6', about 165lb. the armhole is quite roomy, and waist can be tapered a little more. i tried this on with a sweater inside first, then put on a blazer in between, and still can zip up without squeezing myself. my questions is how fit should such a coat be? is it supposed to fit pretty close to body contour like a suit jacket? this one definitely does not fit as snug as my tailored suit.
also please feel free to suggest other options of such type. thanks a lot.
