| Estoc Sizing
On the estoc FIE jacket, on the sword masters website, it says that the size I qualify for is the 52. Now, the 52 is for guys who are like, 6"0-6"2, it also says that the jacket, as far as chest measurements, is for guys with 46"-48" inch chests..... I'm a 39" as far as chest measurements go. Is this thing going to hang on me like a sack? Suggestions? The sizing chart is here. http://www.sword-masters.com/catalog...size_chart.htm

| Every week you seem to be asking about a new FIE uniform. Just make up your mind already... and wait for Telk to show up and talk about Estoc sizing. | |

| Are there any distributors or shops near you that you can just stop in at and try one or two on? I had problems finding stuff to fit me properly - disregarding the, erm... "extra insulation" I carry around, I've got a long torso and short arms and legs... it was tough finding something, but the local shop here let me try on a few different sizes to see what worked best. Granted, I didn't have a huge choice of manufacturers (one, to be exact), but they were really helpful...

| It really sounds like you don't fit the standard size. If you're dropping that much money on equipment, get a custom tall size that fits you.

| Contact them with your arm/leg/height/waist/chest/everything measurements, and ask them what jacket would best fit you. Sound serious, so there's more chance of them actually finding out for you.

| If you dont mind me asking...what measurement qualifies you to be that size?
Is it your height? If so I would consider trying the right chest size but in a "long". Most suppliers should have that option if you ask. Its not quite a custom jacket...but the sleeves and torso is longer to take the height into consideration.
Or do as someone suggested and have a custom jacket made.
We provide both....
