I was 50R UK for years until I did some downsizing recently. 52L is scarce as hen's teeth.
Very very rarely will anything bigger than 50 show up. There was a jacket in size 64 on Ebay for a while, never seen one before or since.
About the Argyll at Ayrshire I don't know.
That's the thing about Highlandwear shops- all the ones I visited in Glasgow and Edinburgh seemed to have the same jackets from House Of Edgar (in Peat etc) and all at the same price, around 400 pounds as I recall.
The Ayrshire place was the same. But I noticed a lower rack off to one side with odds and sods, and I spied a big tweed Argyll, which fit perfectly. I was a bit scared to ask the price, and when the gent said 70 pounds I could hardly get my credit card out fast enough. The next day I wore the jacket all day at The Worlds in Glasgow Green, the weather being windy, chilly, and drizzly, except for our 5 minutes of glory in the circle.
