My new Dallas Fit coat arrived today - I'm very pleased. It's basically just a lengthened Washington, but with completely unpadded shoulders and four button cuffs rather than five. The 2.5 button arrangement is a little unique for an topcoat, but I rather like how it rolls over. As it's based on the Washington, I ordered this in the same size I'd take that in and it fits great - 46R. I'm usually a 44L for reference.
The fabric is absolutely gorgeous. It's a mix of wool, mohair, cashmere and silk (not much else they could have included to be honest!) but it feels remarkably hardy. I don't know why I expected it to be much more delicate, but it's medium weight and feels strong. It's a little darker than the photos online indicate.
I realise the angle of the picture is slightly skewed downwards, but the length is also not a problem either; it falls above knee but it's definitely not super short like the website pictures make all the coats out to be. I'm 6'3 for reference.
If only there wasn't a heatwave on at the moment...looks like I'll have to wait a little while to wear this!
