Can anyone give me some advice re clothing sizes? I've found some reduced aqua t-shirts and hoodies I want but want to know the size ranges before I buy. Some manufacturers are all over the place! For example, I'm 2xl in Drennan clothing but 3xl in ESP even though they're the same company. I'm 4xl in Kumu and 2xl in Nash. If anyone can give me some pointers at other manufacturers and if their clothes are on the smaller/larger side like korda, vass etc be much appreciated.

With Fortis I was going to say the opposite...

I think you need to look at the brands sizing guide. That will give you some idea where your at.

To the OP. Have a look at some of the brands for the larger lads. There also an Angling clothing company out there that caters solely for that. I know Bill Cottam Nutrabaits fame was promoting them. Name escapes me.

Snugpak always seemed on the small size and the general advice was to go a size up. When I rang them they said the same.

I'm 4XL in KUMU t shirts and I wish they would make them 2 inches longer. My missus is sick of looking at my belly hanging out!

I was going to say the same. Tried on some of their gear and it's on smaller size.

In terms of companies sizing guides I'm finding them wildly inaccurate if they even have them at all.

I'll have a browse online for the larger gear. Cheers for the tip.

Agree - Kumu has the worst sizing - I'm 4xl and nowhere near that f*t! Neckline on T-Shirts also annoying as on 4xl they assume you have the head of the elephant man . . .

Smart Carp clothing ? Ive got a few of their bits. Sizing is really generous, fitted me really well. Seemed really well thought out and great quality. They do shorts and t shirts in like a tea bag material for the summer. Really comfortable and cool when the winds blowing.

Id deffo by from them again.

lol . . .

My handsome noggin is only slightly huge, but not 4xl huge! The neck line on 'some' of their t's makes you look like an 80's back up dancer on top of the pops . . .
