Trench Coat questions
Looking at getting a vintage Burberry trench.
Have a lot of questions:
Do they run slim?
What do I look out for regarding wear (buckles, belt, etc)?
How many sizes up should I get from my normal size? (I'm 40 chest, should I aim for something measured at a 42, 44, etc. I want to be able to layer a sweater underneath if needed)
Would probably get regular length.

Hi @SherWins! For better answers, include:
- Reference pictures
- Budget in numbers
- Specific measurements
- Openness to buying secondhand and/or online
- Location: country/continent is fine
- Timing/urgency
Some current measurements:
40 chest
18.5 Shoulder
Best thing you can do is probably ask for measurements because they’ll be cut slightly differently depending on what decade/year/line they’re from tbh
Ball park look for 40 and 42 and ask for measurements. It should already be cut for layering at these sizes so you shouldn't need to size up too much. If it's a raglan sleeve I would size for sleeve length.
