Guess you'll just have to get them made-to-measure Harry!!

When you are next in my area, let's take you shopping.
I tend to find clothing varies in size depending on the shop you buy from, its usually the very cheap shops and the very expensive shops that are very small fittings and lucky to get into a size 12 but if I go for a shop thats fair prices the sizing tends to be about right
i happen to know a little "secret" as to why some clothes fit and others dont when they are all labelled the same. my mother used to work in a clothing factory, if too many garments of one size were made for one buyer, they would be relabelled and sent off to the next buyer, hence one shops size 10 fitting and the same thing in another being a size 12.
