It's too bad sizing gets so hard at large sizes since halves don't exist and there are fewer options. Hopefully these will work!

Glad you went for it. I'm actually in the exact same situation as you - I wear a size 14 in everything except I can get away with a 13 in converse - and the Washington's in a 13 fit perfectly. So good in fact that I'm wondering if all the boots are sized this way?

Somebody buy these before I do. I've been looking for a cheap pair 28/29x30 one wash slim fits for months. These are so close but I know they'd be too big after stretching.

I see the A2 is all gone, apparently it was this seasons must have. Glad i got mine.....thanks Robert.

I'm in Braintree...what Marshall's are you referring to?  Was there anything in size 33-34 waist?  Shirts?

The RRL officers is definitely not worth the $1200 (i don't think i would buy any peacoat for that price), but it is a nice coat and on sale is a great piece, with a great fit and a much more refined fabric than the repros. I've tried on the RRL peacoat ($690) and also buzz ricksons at $1000+ but these are just too thick and rough which while i understand are supposed to be true to heritage but too much for me and probably the average person.

Hasn't arrived yet, should be great from what I've heard though. Only thing I don't like about it is that it's un-lined....

I'm a fan of the old and new. As much as I like the modern style billy reid I like the old repro' buzz rickson/toys mccoy and the old rrl's. They both have their place

Heads-up, even though it may be to late since the A2 is sold out...but this thing does run small. I have a L in every other RRL jacket and coat (including the suede A1). It fits small in the shoulders and to short in the sleeves....a real drag since most of you here have read how much I looked forward to this one. 

 I actually looked twice to check the size and wife thought the moment I took jacket out of suit bag it would be to small. Since the length is right I wonder if the XL would look sloppy. The leather is actually stiffer then expected and would have been fun breaking in!
