Meander oversuit sizing

[Daniel Rose]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how the old Meander PVC oversuits were sized? The system of A1, A2 etc isn't very clear (or maybe I'm just stupid)
eg what size would be comfortably oversized (I prefer my oversuits to be pretty baggy) for a 6 foot 1 person with a deep ribcage? (I recognise that sentence is somewhat amusing)

Any info appreciated, thanks!

The number is for height (larger number = taller) and the letter is for width (A = narrower, B = wider) but I don't have any actual measurements.

I'm a chunky 5'6" and used to wear a 2B that was way too long in the body and had to be held up by a belt, so I'm guessing you'd be a 3B or 4B???

Mine is about 20 years old and has a label with number 1 2 3 4 5 and then A 0 0 B. The 3 and B have faint boxes rounds them so I assume it's a 3B. I'm 6'0" and skinny (73kg) and it has space around the chest and is a bit long in the body.

You're welcome to try mine for fit, if you're passing J21 on the M6 I'm only 5 min away, or I could bring it the Hidden Earth.
