OK, decided on a trench coat DS wants to give me for Christmas but not sure to go with L or XL because of the way trench coats can be worn. This is the coat

Keeping in Safari color. Thing is ... I plan on going back to the gym in Jan and want to lose 30 pounds. Do you think losing that much weight will affect the fit of the coat that much? I am 5'9" and take a size 12 or 14 now. I thought they were supposed to fit a little big in the event you want to wear suit or sweater underneath.
They are such a good deal in price now which is why I am looking to have him get it now.
