Trousers are a must try on thing for me and have been since I slid passed a 36" waist somewhere in 1993. The range is astounding. I have a tailored suit with a 43" waist, a load of comfortable jeans with 42" and a couple of uncomfortable but serviceable chinos at 40". Even weirder is the inside leg. I have 33" which are too short and 31" which drag on the ground. All very confusing.
My goal for 2008 though is to get back under the 40" barrier, a feat which requires about another 15kgs to add to the 10 I dropped in the second half of the year.
Shirts are less of a problem as long as I buy the extra long options. Otherwise the sleeves on a standard XL seem to end about 2" short.
