^ A beauty! Some fattie is in luck.
I'm thinking of the sleeve size relative to the neck size. Anyone who is a 2 sleeve must be shorter than me (I'm 5'8"), so to be that height and 16.5 neck = obesity.
It's all relative. Surely if someone's arms are short, that's simply because they are of a shortish height? So their arms are entirely in proportion to the rest of their body. Isn't that one of Leonardo Da Vinci's discoveries? (I'm too tired to investigate, I'm afraid.)
If that person is also a fattie/steroid abuser, they will have a neck of similar width to yours and Oopants'.
Any short fatties care to share their experiences with us?
Haha, fat/steroid abusing people my height have 18-20'' necks, AC and I, are a rather svelte 17.5'' thank you very much!
Don't listen to him AC, have another pack of SKittles if he's upset you, it'll dull the pain.
Practising for when you become a 'qualified' nutritionist?
No that's just from fitting fatties for suits for the last year and a bit, you don't find many healthy people with a neck over 17.5, maybe 18/18.5 if they do weights, but 19 and 20'' defo full on fatties!
I was referring to your Skittles comment. Obviously.
Yes, high sugar content, and E numbers are going to feature heavily in my new diet plan book!
The bidding for Rooster ties remains fierce on ebay I am afraid. Three fell out of my hands over the weekend in the last couple of seconds.
That's the nature of it Hep. They are always in demand. I find it's worth your while searching for those ones that may have slipped through the net and aren't showing up in general searches for 'Rooster tie'.
I haven't bought one for months. It's not worth the hassle I get at home when another one turns up. LOL.
Just seen some lovely stuff on the bay,if you are a 40 chest.
If you cant find it (and its English and French IVy) ,pm me and i will link you.

I would strongly advise asking for proper measurements as the once given are pish and it's obviously pinned at the back in the photos. But this might be a decent bet at that price...

A very nice 16.5/3 Makers stripe.
Unusual Makers but i like it, shiping to the UK looks iffy though.
Some of these Makers sports shirts have smaller collars - I can't tell with that one. Worth the risk, perhaps.
Sharkskin of course being illegal now.
