LOL Paulie ... thanks for the compliment

Not been to Ocean upstairs in years ... as night's are for drinkin' and partying ... I suppose JungCeylon as well should have some farang sized clothes shops.

Paul what about 'Big John's' or is it 'Big Mans' shop in JC? nothing in there to fit steve but then where in Thailand do they stock XXXXL? but would have thought in comparison, a svelt K2 should be able to find a tent or two in Sportsworld!!! misses will soon knock that up into a hasher shirt, surely??

I found a nice loud shirt my size etc.. When I got it home and looked at the label it was made by 'Big Man' company size 'Jumbo' !!!

Central was the place for me, fixed price with in store discount card available near escalators.

If I can get stuff to fit (60" chest) then I reckon you should be OK. I tend not to bother most times, but have found that just wondering around the shops, markets and malls you will always get one or two stallholders/retailers saying "Big man ! I have shirt to fit you !"

I just look over my shoulder when they shout that at me Diz........

Some cheeky bastard stall holder shouted at me the other day

"I have size 4XL for you sir" when I walked past.

Cheeky Fu*cker! Im only a 2.

I dont think i'll be buying any clothes from his stall now. But nor will anyone else as I can see it burning from here!

Now where did I leave my MTB matches???????????????

When I first got to Iraq and most of the oil well heads were still on fire, that Red Adair bloke was there with his teams blowing them up with TNT to try and put them out, you should have seen the size of those B'stards!

They called a 4XL an 'Oil Rig Medium' - I felt positively slim and svelte in thier company for tea and English muffins.

Other than the golf shirts I haven't found anywhere that carry real mans clothes. Shorts you can get at Robinsons in Phuket town but not at JC. The only way to buy a nice shirt, that I've found, is to pick out the material you want and take it to one of those annoying Nepalese taylors and have him turn into the style of shirt you want. My gf did that for me and it cost about 500 baht. The shirts not bad looking, highlights my nice well rounded belly, drives the tg's wild.

Sorry steveWC, cant help much, being in such good shape myself, but i think you have the answers above.

Denver, i thought you looked rather good in my Meduim Calloway top that day at the golf, think you should invest in some yourself

As for Oil Rig medium, i always get strange looks when they ask which coveralls i want and my reply is "42 with extra crotch space please"

maybe if you didn't have the usual 30 cold ones a day in the komma bar you might just squeeze into an XXXL..............

Yep, I didn't turn up wearing a shirt with a collar at the golf course and they were not going to let me play. So thanks for the lend Si. It was a tad tight around my pecs and six pack and I am using that as my excuse for firing three balls off the first tee into the lake!

Once we got past the first hole I put my own t-shirt back on and my game improved to only two balls in the lake on the second hole............Sorted!
