My coat is indeed sold out in my size on the site now. Good to know it wasn't just a ploy.

And so as not to take up more space on the board with my Burberry angst, thank you all for patiently and thoughtfully commenting - it is so helpful. I hope no one ever feels they can't say something for fear of spoiling the fun. I value every single opinion here deeply and take it all in without hurt feelings, I promise!

Whatever happens, I got to try on this amazing coat - an experience well worth the learning in itself!
