As a sizing aside, Aust. manufacturers dropped the clothing size standard some years ago. And some actually vary the actual size for the same descriptor in making clothing ranges for different demographics.
So if you fear you moved up a size over Xmas, put it down to the makers
The same happened some years ago when health authorities lowered the BMI threshold for overweight and obese. One day you were fine; the next you weren't. OK, it's good to update classification criteria from research evidence but even then it's not a diagnosis, it's a risk factor.
Ramble over.Cheers, Ern

Ok, it just arrived. Now for the intimate bits. I got an XL. The wife says it looks a bit big but to me it's just right. Normally my shirts are 102 and trousers 87, and I'm about 170 plus a bit tall. (between 5'8" and 5'9"). Like the green if that matters.
Not being proud, I don't mind the logos - timberbits, ubeaut and vicmarc even if I do use Woodfast.
ps I think it's definitely worth it.Cheers,
Jim

Thanks Jim. That gives me something to work on. I am a bit taller than you but about the same for the other measurements

Sorry about the delay in response. I was up in Brisbane on a factory tour of Vicmarc and only returned last night.
Now I am no tailor so use the figures as only a guide.
I am a Size "M" and I have the following dimensions
Shoulders - 45cm (17 3/4")
Chest - 100cm (39 1/2")
Belly Button - 96cm (38")
I had a customer who fits an XL, and his dimensions are as follows
Shoulders - 54cm (21")
Chest - 1150cm (45")
Belly Button - 120cm (47")
I will update with more information as we have more willing victims come to the shop. Feel free to also let other forum member know about the size you wear and your dimensions.
Just on another note, I am willing to send out a FREE set (all 6 sizes), to clubs so that there is a set there for members to try. This is on the condition that the display smocks are not to be sold and are to be returned if the club no longer wishes to hold onto them.
Just ask your club President or executive committee to call me and I can do the rest.
Regards
