Bungle The Bear Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Does anyone have a Laksen Wingfield tweed coat? If so does it come up true to size / big or small. It will only be worn over a shirt and sweater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 My general impression of Laksen stuff is that it comes up a bit on the big side. Not got the experience with this particular jacket though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take a 34" waist and their 34" were closer to 30". But again I have not tried this jacket😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 So there you have it … best try one on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 All of the Laksen stuff that I have is 2 sizes larger than any of my other clothing, they are exceptionally small and do need trying before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungle The Bear Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Thank you - I had contacted Laksen who told me their jackets generally come up small😳 I would say I’m a true XL 46 /48” so went to 2XL !!! This must be for a grizzly bear, I couldn’t believe the size of it. I reckon more like a normal 5 XL. Anyway glad it’s going back because I’m afraid I don’t see the 600 odd quid in it, thank you for the replies 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 The only Laksen jacket I own is XL. I’m over 6’ and around 15 stone and it’s always been a good fit. However, I’ve never worn anything more than a t-shirt or thin fleece underneath it as it is an incredibly warm and waterproof jacket. It’s a shame you don’t like it; I think Laksen make just about the best winter jackets out there. I’ve had mine for over 15 years, and it’s been beating and shooting in all weathers, and although it’s becoming a tad frayed inside and out it’s never let me down yet. I know they’re expensive but they’re worth it in my opinion. The Laksen over trousers I had were outstanding too, until I ripped them on barbed wire! 🥲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungle The Bear Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Same height and weight, there you go, as with most things, the older stuff is better, obviously sized different now, thank for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
