For Sale: 1945 Tanker Oversuit

[Eric R.]

That will work for me and the other 2 guys in my neck of the woods.

Might check on the shipping though. Too big a package might actually cost more that a few smaller ones. Especially if it is 15 sets!

Probably will go for two myself.....

that measurement again.... <g>

My wife is a professional costumer for film, stage and TV. I asked her what that measurement was called and she said it is "Girth" (I always thought of that as "around" as in a waist, but will bow to her knowledge!)

She says to take the measurement, put the tape on the mans' front at the base of the throat. About where the knot of a tie would be. Run the tape down the front to the crotch, under neat, and then back up to the neck about where the base of the collar sits.

I think we are at or over 20 suits now since I had two more guys commit to 3 more suits here in VA.

Also interested in one and potentially 3 others within our group so that should show it would be a profitable venture for them to undertake. Especially since this is still only MLU viewers of this message thread and word of mouth.

Brilliant! Perhaps they really should consider this a good market for the tan Pixies too!

Hi Jim

Had my wife help me take my girth measurement.....

I am 6 foot 2 inches....... my girth is 74 inches.......coincidence.

Now should we allow for a few more inches when taking such a measurement for growth when excited or in my case shrinkage of the fabric in the washing machine.....just hate whistling everytime I would raise my arms.

Kindly ask you home tailor!!!!
