Jaysus Rats your a big boy

I think the Dunnes shirts are "made small". Reminds me of the time I picked up a packet of Tesco T Shirts (for painting) and asked the female assistant if she had them in medium. For yourself, says she... yes, says I... try a few Xs before an L says she, diplomatically adding "they're made very small". I do have a couple of ASOS XXL shirts that fit but they're worn out now. 
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I get my long sleeve t-shirts from China in size 4XL.

PS. Let me know if you find anything interesting on the Ebay site ?

Most of them are second hand, Ken. I'm not a bleedin' charity case. Anywaysanall, I don't like buying shirts without looking at them first... although I did buy a couple from Asos (well the older not so young lad added them to his order) in the knowledge that they could be readily returned if not of acceptable quality but they were OK (only OK not great) in the end so I kept them but they're now worn out / destroyed by eating Mr. Wu's food after consuming alcoholic beverages hence demoted to DIY duties. I might try the one Horse posted under a similar assumption i.e. it's an Irish(ish) operation with easy no quibble returns. Anywaysanall, I'm not stuck for shirts at the moment and I'll probably take a trip up to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ahead of my August vacation for some summer attire but, as I'll only wear it a handful of times, I'll not be spending any great fortune. I'll possibly start with a look in the outlet stores in Banbridge and take it from there... may well end up in Primark!

Actually I could do with a pair of trainers, Ken. I think I recall you recommending a brand before?

Rodent your Northren Brethren wear a nice brand of black trouser and White Marching Shirt and a reasonable plastic soled shoe .They must be cheap as they only wear them on the one day out to replace their tracksuits and Rangers Ganzees .Dont know if you have noticed but our Prespatarian Cousins seem to prefer the longer legged trouser not to many Canada Goose thermal jackets matched with shorts and runners like their Sothern Fashionistas .

I generally get all my attire from Shaw's, excellent quality shirts from €25 to €50 and they wash well and last year's.

Them shirts from Dunne's or pennies aren't worth a fuck after one wash they fall apart, as me granny use to say if you buy cheap ya buy twice.

Or adidas. That fcuker ratted on his brother to save his own neck at the end of the war. His brother did his time and came out and started puma, which I do buy.

I find you can't go wrong with Nike air, it does what it says on the tin.

I have my last pair about 5 years now, granted I don't walk a lot, but they are still in perfect condition.
Between the nike and my sketchers I never wear anything else these days.
