I've been having a similar issue. L. L. Bean was my solution. I did in-store measurements to make sure we got the sizing right, and then they placed the order for me and had the coat shipped for free.
Also, although I know it's rarely a first choice for people, the selection at K-Mart is really not bad. I've bought several coats there over the years because they carry lots of different sizes and weights.
