Asking for a friend (seriously).

The trench coat goes to 50.  For twice the cost, and I don't see any visible difference.  It may be the same thing as DLATS is subsidized.

Just this week I saw a 54 @ the Andrews thrift shop.
I don't pick anything for the cadets above a size 44.
They are out there.
