I ended up going with petite on the advice of the SA. Now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the regular. Guess I'll find out soon enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-cotton-khaki-trench#post-968394 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:13:00 +0000 saramir 968394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks amazing on you!

It looks very much like the tan Burberry in terms of cut, but you're right this color looks friendlier to your complexion (and it would be to mine too, hmmmm)! I love the knee length, too. Just LOVE! I think this is the right size too. How many times have I been burned by a coat that I can only wear over one thin layer. Too many! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-cotton-khaki-trench#post-967651 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:55:38 +0000 Angie 967651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER</p> <p>I can't help but once again reiterate<b>: the power of modern classics. </b></p> <p>Love that you are growing your hair a little too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-cotton-khaki-trench#post-967650 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:54:18 +0000 MNsara 967650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes!&nbsp;&nbsp;IK is spot on!&nbsp; With it buttoned up and those boots, you should be the next Bond girl!</p> <p>I hope you keep it.&nbsp; We would be coat twins ;-)&nbsp; (I am a shameless rae copycat, and especially when you have one of your brilliant classic bursts! Except I'm a few sizes larger . . . )&nbsp; Anyway, don't you love the luminous finish?&nbsp; I think it makes it so much more elegant than most flat khaki coats.</p> <p>At my store, they cautioned me that if shortening the sleeves (which I must do) they don't like to take off those loops and raise them.&nbsp; They leave stitch marks, I guess.&nbsp; So, I will probably leave a 1/2 inch more length than perfect so there's length below those straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-cotton-khaki-trench#post-967649 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:54:12 +0000 Anonymous 967649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-cotton-khaki-trench#post-967646 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:52:42 +0000 Vildy 967646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved it before I even got part way through the photos. Don't think it looks too big at all. Plus, I don't see any reason to shorten longish sleeves that you prefer that way, since it clearly fits you and therefore merely looks like a personal style idiosyncracy and not like you're wearing the wrong size or a borrowed coat.&nbsp; Anyway, sleeves can always be shortened down the road if you change your mind.&nbsp; I find the length of them charming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-cotton-khaki-trench#post-967643 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:50:34 +0000 Suz 967643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, Leggy McLegs!

I ordered the size 4, because my size 2 BB shirts threaten to gape when I wear certain bras, and I wanted to make sure I could wear a sweater under this, even with the zip-out liner (sorry I'm wearing shorts and no sweater, but it's a hot weekend here).&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think of the fit? Please ignore the sleeve length for now, as I really prefer my sleeves long and I want to see if they shorten as the elbows start to crease. It's possible I could fit into a 2 and still wear a sweater (I think I weigh less than when I first tried it on), but in the past I have erred on the side of too small and paid for it. I can layer a leather jacket under this one without straining the buttons, which is a nice option. But does it look too big for normal wear like this?&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I am pretty darn sold on the color. I never thought I could wear the "classic" trench look because beige hates me, but the khaki seems to have the same vibe.&nbsp; </p>
