    And it's arrived, seems spot on. Just went back to get a second set but
    they've sold out of normal sizes (XXL still available).

    They're doing 25% off across the range though, so I've ordered another
    set of leggings and two tops. Job done.

    NAHAY? XXL is normal.

    Mine arrived Saturday. I put them on after a shower and wore them under
    jeans for a while. Comfy & didn't feel hot at all. My sister arrived before
    I got around to remove them. Not sure what she thought with the light grey
    long johns sticking out from the bottom of my jeans.
    http://www.outdoorgear.co.uk/eshop.asp?wci=home had a merino top in their
    sale which I ordered with a few other things. 2 items went out of stock,
    not the merino top though. Card has already been refunded and I kept the
    free postage. Goods haven't arrived yet so we'll see about quality.

    188.40.43.213:

    arrived today by courier - secreted in the porch rather than "carded".

    Both tops are good. Regatta polyester short sleeved one for a fiver and a
    merino wool, long sleeved job with a zip up neck for under £25. Free
    delivery.

    My EDZ kit arrived from thermalshop yesterday. I'd forgotted however
    that I is a fatter bastard sat down than I is when stood up.

    So they're going back for the next size up.

    Well impressed by the quality of them though; looking forward to having
    a decent run out with them on

    they only had the XXL in stock in the £20 sale item when I went to
    order, which turned out to be more than adequate. Slight Nora Batty
    style when stood up but wrinkle free when seated.

    I went for XXL merino and all season bottoms and an XXL all season top.

    The bottoms are fine stood up, but a little snug sat down, and the top
    is bagy except for the neck. I decided that I'd move up a size as I
    don't care how Batty they look as I'm solely after comfort.

    I think I'll order a set up for the lad too before the big trip,
    especially as the all season bottoms are now on offer.

    You fat fuckers. I'm a M for the top half and an L for the bottom half.

    And the M is pretty baggy.

    It's no good you know. However easy you are to lift, there's no way I'm
    going to shag you. Wessie?

    Don't get disheartened padawan. I was a similar size at your age. Keep up
    the good work demonstrated by your porcinoblog and you have the makings of
    SB or even SFB[0]

    [0] seriously big, seriously fucking big

    Pfft. Mine were waiting for me when I got home: L for the top half, M
    for the bottoms. Snugness.

    We need to remember this, as swapsies could be done for paired suits.

    There's a set of Trespass or similar polyester base layers in size
    'Medium' in my local emporium on sale for 6 quid, but there's no way
    i'm getting my variously lanky and generous frame in anything medium
    nowadays.

    I can pick them up if there's takers for medium top 'n' bottoms ?
    eew ...

    Paul.

    My second order's arrived, and I reckon I could've gone for S for the
    top half.

    And I have it confirmed, once again, that my arms are rather stumpy.

    about right

    I finally got my arse into gear and got a custom-made suit and a bunch
    of shirts. The latter are a revelation. Either I have a fat neck and
    stumpy arms, or everyone else in the world is a fucking weird shape.
