I'm in the same boat. Hell, he's only an inch taller than me, and maybe 5 pounds heavier. This'd fit me great! Stupid car repairs... :(

I often wish I was shorter. It'd make buying clothes easier :D

Any chance of some internal/external shots of it not being worn with some detail of the faults?

Are you still looking at $200.00 and free S+H?

As you can probably see in the above there is a line of rivets on the far left side of the BP fauld and the far right of the back plate fauld that are not horizontal.

Whilst not my best work all the buckles are on plates and whilst plain are accurate shapes for late 14th.

I just fell by the wayside with regards this one....

The good and kind purveyor of this item is just too damn skinny (or I'm too heavy?) (I'm not sure which).....

God speed chaps
