Its hard to believe that Topman's SMALL isn't small enough. They make everything slim and small even for medium sometimes is small.

i got an extra-small, and it's certainly slimmer and smaller than any US-brand XS stuff i've bought. It's almost too tight, as the bottom button pulls a bit and the top one makes my chest feel a little constricted when buttoned.

That's what I said! But I can understand not wanting to take a gamble on it if you haven't tried it before. You and I know what's up, Zodiac

Hrm...

The other Ralph Lauren coat (the second coat I posted) was just re-stocked in size Small in black today. Now I can't decide what to do. I already ordered the 3rd coat, but I like the 2nd one a lot as well. Both of them can be had for cheap with the 30% off coupon... so now I just have to decide if I want to order both and keep the one I like better, or just stick with what I ordered.

Any thoughts? Be quick! Thanks guys


ETA: nvm... I just decided to order both and keep the one that I like better. Will report back once I get them!

I'm only selling my 2 diors for that reason. Only other thing I sold was my New Standard but not because it didn't fit right, I just decided I liked New Cure better.

All my Thanaz fit perfectly except for the raws (too short). I sold them (all my thanaz) cause I didn't want them anymore, nothing to do with the fit. Thanaz is still my fav cut

Hahah crap that's not good news!

I will definitely report back... but let's hope they're not going to swallow me alive.

What size would you say you normally wear in jackets (measurements if you have any) and what tagged size did you try on?

Also... how did they feel in person quality-wise?


Thanks

i wear SMALL in everything and go for slimmer fits. i need an XS on some rare occasions but that doesn't happen often.

the quality is very good, no complaints there. i tried them in small, of course, and let's say i felt like i was trying an oversized medium. the biggest disaster was the sleeves, i would've never needed any gloves to go with it just because i couldn't see my hands. so you got the picture.

and now that i was about to go for the cropped Topman peacoat online, the S is out of stock! what bollox! are any brits willing to help?

Yeah based on the measurements I saw on their site I knew the sleeves were going to be really long... but definitely not too good of news to expect that I'll be swimming in the coats! Hahah shit.

I don't want to have to start hunting again...

^ tony, concerning the black ralph lauren peacoat, my father tried that exact one on about a week ago and he was absolutely swimming in a size small. just like Mannequin said, sleeves were overlong, body was massive and overall length was rather too much. Seeing as he's 5'9'' i dont believe you'll have much luck either

Dammit lol. Well I guess I should probably start looking for another coat.

Any suggestions, anyone? I found a couple decent looking ones on eBay, but I'm not sure about their quality/warmth.

Any other suggestions would be great. I've been lookin all over but to no avail... ha.

So I went to Topman today to check a pair of boots + some trenches and pea coats.

Most of cropped Pea Coats have sizes from L to XS and price dropped from £75-80 to £50. Most of them
