There used to be a good one in Leeds but I can't remember the name of the place.

This was it I think.

German sizes are well done if you have the option to measure yourself.

It's all done in metric.

You have a total height selection, Then waist/chest done in direct to the body measurement.

Largest I've seen is 100-110cm waist that is about 39-43 inches.

Longest I've seen is 185-190cm ^6-0 ^6-3 feet.

This Polish site has a very good selection of sizes in the German kit, Sold with the German size guide, Buying in the UK you will find UK suppliers try to convert it to Inches and it's a bit more of a gamble if they do.

Where are the best places in Yorkshire (any of the 4) for going and trying on Army Surplus kit?
I'm a big chap, so need somewhere that has a decent range of sizes to try.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing to be aware of is that army surplus stores generally only have the most commonly issued sizes so be prepared for a lot of skinny, tall gear.

I do have a full set of DPM I want rid of for cheap that used to fit me in my...shall we say "generously proportioned" days. Let me know what size you are (height, chest, waist, inside leg and I'll see if it would fit you). There's trousers, shirt and windproof smock.
