If I could find the old tropicals in my size, I'd be all over them!

[Vince]

Man these are stupidly rare in human size... looks like they were sending kids in the jungle, who the hell wears 28-30 waist?

[Lerch]

...Ghurka's?

[Vince]

Yeah I guess that could be an anwser

But here's a tip, take bigger sizes if you et older stuff. For some odd reasons, 180-104 in old pattern fits smaller, much lik 180-96 (88-ish sometimes)

[Lerch]

I noticed that with my first pattern desert DPM shirts. They were tagged as 190/96 but were shorter (approx. 180). So I suppose they're shrunk from use and age.

[Vince]

No I got my tropicals brand new. It's just sized really small

[Lerch]

Hmm...maybe mine didn't shrink then...

BASTARDS!!
