Hi there

I'm a guy who has been casualy airsofting for about 4 years now after being introduced to the game by Gadge (hi by the way) and am looking to get involved in the WW2 airsoft scene now.

The problem i'm seeing, just where does the "larger gentleman" find appropriate looking uniform for this?

Virtualy all the pictures i've seen of events are full of the more streamlined airsofters, rarely a paunch to be seen. Is there a place for large guys in this hobby?

What Price Glory also do sizes to suit. Though they are unkind enough to give my correct waist size. :cry:

Though I do have Denims and not wools, I think they do wools in larger sizes also.

All the UK manufacturers of British WW2 kit cater for large sizes. SOF, Pegasus, etc. The more expensive ones are tailored to fit (i.e. made to measure).

shame you didn't join earlier as I recently sold off my old kit-having lost 11 stone (therabouts)....anyway SOF DO make ones up to 52" waist and for 56" chest, there's also What Price Glory who cater to the American market too so lots of larger sizes there-plus they do an intro deal so could get all the basics for under £400...just a thought....
