I wanted to buy a Barbour waxed cotton jacket. I have several "waxed cotton" jackets that I wore at my heaviest, but I was 62 inch chest bordering on size 64 and Barbour only go up to 52 inches.
I so was looking forward to rushing out and buying one as soon as I dropped below 52 inch chest, I could taste it. The anticipation had me trawling the net for the best deals long before I was anywhere near small enough. Then the time came and I was at 52 inch chest.................Then within a couple of weeks I was 50.
Then in another month 48 inches, and now I'm 47 and so glad I didn't blow $450 on a coat just to shoot in that would have fitted me for four weeks
But as soon as this reduction in size stabilises, I'm off to Holland and Holland for a new coat. Until then mu Drizabone cape will do just fine
