good job hes a slender chap. otherwise those blue and white stripes would make him look like obelix

once made a c12th long surcote in the de valnce colours - horizontal blue and white stripes with a bit of red, it made whoever wore it look like a cornishware milk jug

That sounds like a suitably bonkers project!

This chap isn't really slender: he's about a 42" chest, 40" waist. But he IS tall, so carries it off well.
