Can you let us know how it works out please. Your normal clothes size and which size smock you ordered.
Could be interested.

I could be interested also

It will be fairly soon as I've been advised it's on the way.

Hi All & Neil,
So you may have been the Culprit, that wrote on my Suit, a few DUTA'S ago.
I was blaming someone else. Up set a Ladies, you did ???????. HE HE HE.

They look like good smocks, dammit. And here's me, built more like Gandhi than Buddha...

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.

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

They aren't extra long so you may need to factor that in, though I doubt if it will make much difference unless you're over a couple of metres.

Only 183 cm so I reckon XL will probably be OK.

Thanks for this! Would you say that the sizing is true to "general sizing convention", i.e. would you normally get an XL t-shirt?

It's difficult to say but normally I would go for large rather than extra large. in this case I went for XL because M was the smallest and it is a garment where you want freedom of movement.

Thanks Jim. This is exactly what confuses me:

Need to ask David to put some sizing information on his web site

I emailed and asked. Let's see.

I have to curse a bit, it reminded me I have $250 of stuff in my cart....

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

David - Timberbits
