Burberry Coat size information?
Hello
I am completely confused. I have seen a nice coat that I would like to buy but I am confused as to its exact size. The ebay seller lists it at 48R and says it is a British size 58. The underarm length is listed at 29 inches. It is a Burberry if that helps.
I have never bought such an expensive coat so any help with sizing and what this would convert to in American sizes, i.e. s-XXL would be so helpful. Thanks in advance to all the Yahoo experts

"European sizes – generally you get the US size by subtracting 10 from the European size."

I guess that's why it is listed as 48R, down 10 from British size 58?
"Jacket sizes are equal to your chest size. For example, if you have a 38" chest, you would wear a size 38 coat, jacket or blazer."

What I would do is try to get the correct chest measurement and then see what the corresponding size would be.
You can also try emailing the ebay seller and see if he/she is willing to give you more information about the jacket.
Also, I tried checking what the sizes are for Burberry coats currently on the market. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jht...
Try clicking on the "Sizing Guide" to help you with measurements.
Hope this has been helpful. Good luck!
