Do they run true to size? I'm eying up a rather snuggly looking puffer x

ETA- and do you recommend I go for the tall range? I'm 5ft 7in with gorilla arms!! x

I find regular Lands End to be a bit on the high end of sizing (mostly because most Mediums are 8-10 and theirs are 10-12. Do check the reviews though since some items have not followed this principal lately. Landsend Canvas runs more TTS I think.

Yes, a bit big. I'm a L or XL at other stores, and firmly a L and even sometimes a M at Lands End.

Agreed with PPs. They tend to run to the larger end of the spectrum. Check their size charts, but I am with Pastrygirl. I tend to be an L or XL elsewhere, but I have taken a medium is several LE tops.

If you have a Sears near you, you can return there free.

Thank you ladies. I'll probably try the M which is a UK 14-16 hopefully it won't be too big up top. Shame they don't do a 12-14. My bottom is squarely on the 14 side of the scale and I think I'd struggle with a small which is only 10-12 x

Thistle- I'm in the UK so no Sears shops unfortunately. That is the one disadvantage of LE I'll have have lost £7 in postage if it's no good x

Is postage free for exchange orders, Louise?

I wear a UK 12/14 top, due to my boobs, and I have several long-sleeved t-shirts from LE that I wear to Pilates, that are a size small, so I would go with the sizing being on the generous side!

I think they have online customer assistance and seem to remember getting some measurements from them in the past. Maybe that would be helpful?

Great suggestion, Pil, and I'd definitely advise talking to them. The sizes run very large in my experience.

Was just in Sears where they carry Land's End (to get my kid some snow pants). Ended up with a puffer vest for $30. Sizing is big - I'm an XS petite in their coats.

My mom is 5'8" and has extremely long arms and legs and the regular size puffer fit her well so should work for you.
