swanndri sizing??

[jimbo75]

O.k. I'm confused (as usual).
I'm a 42 inch chest, and a 34 inch waist.
Do I go for a Large size swanndri? Or would a medium suffice?
ANy advice is appreciated.
Jimbo.

Go with chest size.

On their site Med is listed as 99cm so that's a bit odd. Have they changed sizing since you bought? It happens.

Looks like, I'll post the label sizes in an hour or so.

A Medium will be fine for you. Swanndri are very much on the large side. I'm a 38-40 inch chest and buy a Small in teh Ranger shirts and they have plenty of room under them for extra layers.

Which Swanddri garment are you looking at?

My Ranger is labeled as L and my Hooded Bush Shirt is labeled as XL.

I'm a 42 inch chest, and a 34 inch waist, I find the Ranger a little small (not so much around the chest but around the shoulders) and the Bush Shirt sized correctly for wearing clothes underneath.

You're an XL then. A swannie L at 104 cm would be 'athletic' (some might say 'spray-on' ) for a 42 (106-ish cm) chest

I've always found there sizing quite large.

You know, I think part of the confusion comes from how people wear swannies. I were mine as a shirt, ie with just a t shirt under. Where as some people wear them as a top layer with jumpers, fleeces and all sorts of stuff underneath.
Makes a big difference to sizing.

 

[JonathanD]

True, I wear mine with maybe a shirt or long sleeved T underneath and that's it.

As the others have said, it depends on what you want to wear underneath. I'm 6'1", 44" chest, 34" waist and use an XL in both the Rangers and Original, I don't like them too tight and I can fit layers on beneath and still move. I have tried on a L, it did fit, but just not comfy enough for me.

+1 on that.
It's exactly the same for me.

I find then to be quite large except sleeve length and around shoulders witch can be a bit tight on me but if i go up a size they are too baggy everyware else.
