Does that go along with discovering all my shirts are split down the back and the front door is covered in claw marks? Full moon tonight, I believe!
Mark, as the shirt was visibly too small, I pulled enough of it out of the wrapping to get a tape across it and then returned it from whence it came.
I've resolved the whole thing now, anyway. having discovered all the hoops that I was required to jump through courtesy of the OFT, I've given the thing away to a keeper friend of mine who is a normal 42" chest, and it fits him fine!
Thanks for all your input, guys, but I'd rather give the shirt away rather than spend what remains of my existence pirouetting elegantly through assorted hoops while avoiding all the smoke and mirrors!
Have a good Christmas, everybody!
