Are there any sizing guidelines?

[GTB_an_Owl]

sizing guidlines as follows

to give you an idea of sizing look at the following
..............Pants......Waist..... .Coat...Chest
.sm..-........77reg.......30"...............34"
.med.-........87reg.......34"...............38"
.Lge.-........97reg.......38"...............42"
.XL..-.......107reg.......42"...............46"
.2XL.-.......117reg.......46"...............50"
.3XL.-.......127reg.......50"...............54"
and so on - add 10/4" to the pants and 4" to the jacket for each size up

this also applies to full suits

Geoff,

Are you able to get the boots in at all?

I still have my suit after all these years -- going strong.

I honestly have no idea how I used to put up with the cold without it.

I can't go back to imaging without one on.

H

[GTB_an_Owl]

what size H?

geoff

[Octane]

Do the boots follow traditional US/EU and AU sizing?

I'll get back to you!

H

[Davros]

And one more question, do the bib trousers cover your kidneys? If so i swill be ordering a pair.

[GTB_an_Owl]

Hi H

It will probably be in the 2XL to 3XL size range. Once payment is made and the order placed what timeline would I be looking at for delivery please (Ooops just read second last post! :D)?

Kind regards.

[Mark Axisa]

Am I to late to buy a pair of freezer jacket and pants boots to??
Thanks Mark:help:

[GTB_an_Owl]

Hi Mark

yep your too late for this order

i can't get the "Husky" boots any more

what size are you - i may have what you want in stock - no promises

geoff

[Mark Axisa]

I'm not sure , I can't get into your website to check but I'm a 38 waist and normally a large or extra large in the jacket. Sorry for being annoying :confused2:

[GTB_an_Owl]

there is a sizing guide at the front of this thread Mark

geoff

[Paul Haese]

Interested in the pants and bib version. I am a 42" waist but that is in jeans. Would you think a 46" would be better?

[GTB_an_Owl]

Hi Paul

42" waist is an XL
should be plenty big enough for you

are you only interested in the Bib&Brace overall or the jacket as well?

geoff

[Mark Axisa]

Oops sorry my bad , large in pants and extra large in jacket please
Thanks Mark:thanx:

[GTB_an_Owl]

Sorry Mark

not in stock - will label you a "person of interest" :thumbsup:

[rodsmith]

Hi Geoff,
Could you include me on the list of interested parties. I'd like b & b pants in 2xl and a jacket in 3xl

Regards Rod

[GTB_an_Owl]

will do

geoff

[jjjnettie]

Received mine today. Thanks.
Customising the jacket already with cloth badges I bought back from the States. :)

[GTB_an_Owl]

great to hear Jeanette

was wondering who would be first to get a delivery

you going to "iron on" the patches or some other manner?

i've wondered whether we could put our IIS usernames on the back somehow

geoff

[Paul Haese]

I reckon mine will be one of the last being the furthest away, but I am in no hurry yet.

[Davros]

Looking forward to mine arriving :) I hope glitter sticks to them :p

[jjjnettie]

I'm sewing them on, using a sewing machine.
Gave the suit a test drive this evening. I started sweating within 5 minutes. LOL Looking forward to some proper cold weather. :)

:rolleyes: gawd help us

[Davros]

hehe, i have packets of silver studs, patches and glitter. Mine is going to be awesomeised. Gotta stand out from the crowd :D

[Davros]

Got mine today :D very happy with them, I will be toasty warm at Astrofest! And tonight i will be in a decorating frenzy :P

[Paul Haese]

Got mine yesterday. Tried it on and it fits perfectly with plenty of room to move and very warm. Got quite hot inside without the heater on. It will be perfect for those cold nights at Clayton. Thanks Geoff, good advice and a great service.

[GTB_an_Owl]

thanks for the feed back Lauren/Paul

geoff

[GTB_an_Owl]

Any further interest before winter passes?

geoff

[sn1987a]

I can highly recommend these suits. I had mine on all night here it got down to minus 3 and I was as snug as a bug in a rug. I didn't even need gloves if my hands got cold I just put them in the pockets for a minute or two and Shazam!, all warm and toasty. One of the best investments I've ever made.:thumbsup:

[GTB_an_Owl]

any more takers?

i would like to place an order in the next few days

geoff

[absolut]

After Katoomba Airport I've been convinced I need better winter gear! lol

Sign me up for Bib Pants and Jacket (both in XL).

I'll send a PM shortly.

Thanks!!
Rob

[Davros]

My only complaint is they are very hard to put pretty stickers on! :p
I guess i will have to stick with glitter :)

[GTB_an_Owl]
