Thinning the Profile

Im not as thin as I use to be but still consider myself on the thinside. I alway used a low cost cotton jacket and lame (foil) but feel they leave me kind of bulky. Anyone recommend a particular jacket/lame (FIE or nonFIE) to help take advantage of being thin? Will any stretch jacket/lame do? Also anyone found any tricks when comes to measuring to make sure you get a good fit but not too small?

Thanks!

Negrini gear runs to the thin side as I recall.
Gear that fits is the only real solution, of course. Follow the instructions on the sizing charts.

If you weren't a fellow fencer, I'd hate you. The only way I can "thin my profile" is to lose 30 pounds . . .
