Camel Hair Overcoat - Recommendations Please

[Sharp Pointy Stick]

I am looking at getting a Camel Hair Overcoat, single breasted. Would need a Big N Tall size. Anyone able to make some recommendations on where to buy, what to look for etc?

Classic Ralph Lauren Polo Coat. Patch pockets, db, half belted back. I think BB has a regular one but the Ralph buttons 6 over three whilst the BB is 6 over two.

How about the Lauren by RL at sierratradingpost.com? Not fancy, but the price is right and it goes up to 52 long. Be advised, I usually wear a long size and the regular is a bit long in the sleeves for me.

. . . consider Jos. A. Banks version, currently on sale, which goes up to a 48 XL:

I have the DB version, with which I am very happy for both style and quality.

Newbie question, the measurement is in reference to waist? chest?

Suit size, which is usually chest. The overcoat will be sized to fit over the corresponding suit or sport coat, so you don't have to do any guessing. If you wear a 48 suit coat, then the 48 overcoat should fit over that, and they go down to a 44 XL, which should be pretty slim.
