I just saw this Ian...thanks for sharing that.  It just reminded me that I do indeed have a pourpoint (thank you, Sir James) and now know how it should fit.

I was the other extreme on that, not only did the front not overlap - it was a good foot apart on my bloated gut.

Thanks for posting those, Ian. I've been to lazy to get around to suiting up and taking pictures to post with.

Yes thanks for posting these Ian and reminding me that I REALLY have to get my pourpoint tailored since I have shed some poundage from when I initially purchased it a couple of years ago because with even the added bulk of my ice packs, mine laces completely closed and is still a little baggy on me.  :-\

Sir Brian, congrats on the weight loss...I thought you looked rather trim last time I saw you as opposed to when we first met.  ;)

Thanks Sir William! Alas I fear I will forever be 'plateaued' @ the 220 lbs mark, hence my reluctance to have my pourpoint tailored when I want to lose at least another ten to twenty pounds.  :-\

You're 220 now?  I would not have guessed that much.  You carry it well!
