Does anyone know a company which sells boiler suits with shorter legs - not for me. I know I could just turn up the legs, but I haaaate that job
Turn them up? TURN THEM UP???
Fleecewife! Call yourself a smallholder? That's FAR too professional! Use the hoof trimming shears to hack the bottoms off and call it "good enough"! And if it's a wee bit baggy round the middle then some baler tow makes a fine belt!

You'd think so, wouldn't you. But my man is a pernickety er person and frayed trouser cuffs just don't do. He even once 'tacked' them up he says but they soon came undone again. He's happy to slop around in filthy boiler suits, with holes and rips, but not the hems.

where's the icon for crawling along the carpet weeping? He loves the baler twine, loves to be covered in paint and engine oil and sheep

so I don't understand about the hems. And now we're old he's shrunk heightwise too so now he really is short.
Thank you [member=156019]macgro7[/member] I've tried trawling through the Dickies sites for short legs and the chest size he needs but that's really the reason for me clawing my way along the carpet. They even have a size called 'X. Large x small' which comes between small and medium on their size chart

but 42" chest by 30" leg I can't find. Then he popped his head around the door and said the size which usually fits ok is Army surplus.

so get some then. 'Oh I suppose I could'

No good deed goes unpunished.
It would probably have been simpler if I'd just turned up the silly things
Apologies for the domestic discord
