I can check with a mate tomorrow night, coincidentally he works in Aberdeen too but I think he wears suits as opposed to lycra for that.

I too am ....erm....a ...larger gent
Have you tried the ALTURA stuff I find the biggest size think its 2xXL
just right for a 40-42 waist and 6` 1" frame

sizing

evans cycles used have a a selection of sizing charts online.

I;ve noticed that some of the more trendy /rad manufacturers seem to think that XXL = 36 inch waist.

this is the single biggest problem with internet shopping.

in shoes i can range from a 9 to an 11, t-shirts from a large to a XXL, trousers / shorts are a bit more standard and 36" seems to fit in virtually everything BUT some people insist on using lettering to designate waist sizes which throws all kinds of problems into the mix!

my biggest problem is finding sleeves that cover more than a few inches of arm because i'm fairly wide across the shoulder for a 5'10" frame and shirts are a nightmare because they don't do a size specifically for a pie-curious 15 stone muppet with broad shoulders and an 18" neck.
