The above was for chest sizes Leics.

40 odd years ago anything over a 32 waist was a sign things were starting to slip.

I was a 28 waist at one point and barely a 36 chest.

I was wearing a New Romantic style string vest one day and my old man told me I needed to be careful as I was in danger of slipping out through one of the armholes! 😩
