I was just dreaming about fitting into a 32" waist too...

Although I'd probably need more leg drop.... Wink

Good luck with the sale and the project.

That made me chuckle, guess it is called being "hill-fit!"

Ask about fellas you must know someone these might fit?

I am 5'8", medium build, 11 to 11.5 stone.

I am 4 inches taller and weigh 60 pounds more, if I took all three suits and sewed them together I could make it work.

32" waist and 42 chest? Maybe when I was 18 or 19.

Now I'm 38, 46" chest and 36-38" waist.

Seth, you and I must be about the same size - built for comfort not speed.

Dream on. Some nice stuff there, are these the results of previous employment or are you a rural burglar?

I think i recognise one of those suits.....

how did you get the smell out of it? that suit might be a bit worn down the front where the lab licked off all the chunks........

isnt it funny how sometimes the need for a little lie down at the end of a shoot day creeps up on you.

Sadly, I would not fit into these either. But it sure is nice gear. Great tradition.

Brian,

I am around 250 and usually do the 40 in the waist.

For someone who is forced to work out by the US Navy 3 times a week I am pretty fat.

Stone is 14 pounds right?

The jackets are cut on the generous size as they allow shooting with them on, not cut like a tight sports jacket.

With a 36 waist and a big chest...any idea if there is an outlet somewhere?

My hunting buddies would cry -after the initial laughing- if they saw me in that suit!
