Cycle clothing sizing

[Big Nick]

I've always been a big lad, not really overweight, just big at 6'1,15 stone, solid build with a 46"chest and a 36 waist

I'm not considered abnormally sized in every other area of my life but I feel it in cycling!!

Why is it some brands consider a size XXL as a 42 chest!! The only brands I've found that are anywhere near high street sizes are Altura and some DHB stuff, where an XL is often an XL!!

Are there any other brands that size their cycle clothing 'normally' or do I need to go away and come back when I've lost 3 stone?!?!

You just need to add a few Xs if buying Italian, it's normal and nothing to worry about

Endura close to size, ditto Pearl Izumi, Gore not too bad but long arms

Which brands are you looking at?

You need to stop kidding yourself you're 'not really overweight'.

Ok...to put it another way, if you saw me you wouldn't really want a smack off me...!!!!!!

Like @vickster said, Prendas do some cool retro shirts in the size but I've just bought a 6xl top, in endura is between XL and XXL, looks good though.

I don't want a smack, but thanks for the offer :0)
