Facial furnishings and the skirt are not uncommon to be slow in growing. Sometimes you just have to be patient and then there are those coats that simply never want to achieve floor length status. Being just one year old, I think, is probably more of the problem than you not wrapping his coat.
For the healthiest coat possible you need, good nutrition and good grooming practices. The coat has to be kept clean and that means a bath 1-2 times per week, depending upon Milo's activities. If he goes outside to play much, probably 2 bathes a week is what you'll have to do. You need to brush or comb out tangles each day. Remember to never brush a dry coat, get a conditioning spray, or make your own with a small amount of a good hair conditioner, diluted and mixed in a spray bottle of water.
