At its debut in the late '40s the swing coat was long and swept to the knees. Today's version of the coat falls above or at the waistline.
Fitted through the shoulders, upper arms and chest the body of the coat gradually moves outward forming a wide cape-like shape. The extra volume is what makes the coat "swing."

Explanation:
a paletot is usually a swing jacket, not a coat (ie shorter). Maybe 'paletot long'...?

manteau (long) rétro / manteau (long) redingote


Explanation:
Pour un contexte purement "marketing", j'opterais pour "manteau rétro"... quitte à ce que ce soit un peu vague.
Pour un contexte plus "technique" ou catalogue de vêtements, j'opterais pour "manteau redingote"... qui a l'air d'être très "fashion" cet hiver :-)
Quant à l'utilisation de "long" ou pas, là encore, tout dépend du contexte... on peut peut-être s'en passer ?
