trying to order from Uhlmann

[weapon7]

Having taken the advice from some of the posters on this board I have started looking into ordering equipment directly from Uhlmann, in Germany. My problem is sizing. I wear a size 46 mens lame and my wife wears a size 40 womens. I would like to no if anyone knows how these convert over to the Uhlmann sizes. By the way Neevel you were right it is MUCH cheaper. Thanks.

According the the size chart I use, a men's 46 is a euro 56. A women's 40 is a euro 44.

Hope that helps.

If you want to be certain about the size, try to print the "made to measure" order form from its retailer in Germany <a href="http://www.fechtsport-langenkamp.de/html_en/start.htm" target="_blank">web page</a>, fill in your measurements and fax it to Uhlmann. They actually use the same form for their tailor made uniforms. They would be happy to tell you which size should you order. Just remember to fill in the exact measurements.
