@mikebarhoot those measurements sound like you might have to get a bespoke shirt.
The 18 oz 177 CPO comes in a 4x though. I'd ask them to check for a bigger one.

Thanks Mike!

Can I send in my overalls and get you to replace the bronze buttons?

It's funny I always wished these overalls had the brass buttons. Because all the other hardware is brass. This would be so awesome if possible.
-
Just bought a black thermal so hopefully you can replace the buttons on my overalls and ship the thermal and the overalls back to me together.
-
It's technically possible and we do have the button parts, but I am not sure if we have had the die sets made for that button yet. @Alex I sent a lot of the dies back to the tool shop to be modified to fit the new foot presses (plus I asked for a couple more totally new die sets to be made up), so I don't think you will know for certain until they all come back….
-
Yup, we dont have the part here right now @Filthy25ozJunkie

That's okay. Thanks a lot.

Re: Watch Straps
I have a brass Maranez Talay (http://www.maranez.com/talay-o.php) that I absolutely love, but don't wear much because it's just not comfortable. I came with a thick, brown leather strap, and a hefty, black rubber strap as well. When I wear my watch, I like for it to not slide up and down my wrist, and just stay in place. It was never a problem with any of the purpose built watches I wore in the past (Field watches, during my Army time), but this seems to be different. When I tighten it to where it doesn't slide, it cuts off my circulation…. When I loosen it one notch (Probably less than a cm), it slides up and down my wrist.
Any suggestions? I was thinking a NATO strap... But, I don't know if it would make any difference.
-
the space between the holes (middle of the hole) on my Nato is 6.5mm…
I just measured on my watch strap…. It appears to be exactly 5mm when measured from the center of the holes.
So, it's a 5mm distance that is the difference between amputation, and dangly watch on my wrist, lol
-
A NATO or Zulu strap might still help. Since they go under the case and are in continuous direct contact with your wrist, it's been my experience that they slide around less, even when they're a bit loose.
Lighter watched move around less, too, but since you're already committed on that front, that may just be something for future reference…
-
You might find NATOs fit better because they are considerably more pliable than leather or rubber. They don't have any springy-ness to themselves.
You might also like removing the extra keeper strap. I cut off that extra strap on almost all my NATOs. I don't care for the wobble from the extra 3-4mm of thickness.
