Title: Asbell wool sizing.
Post by: mellonhead on July 09, 2012, 05:50:00 PM
I am just about ready to order a wool pullover from the Asbell's and was wondering about sizing.  I have heard they run a little big.  I was wondering if anyone else about my size has ordered one and what size you got.  Oh yeah, how did it fit.  I'm 5'11" weigh about 265# and I'm fairly broad across the shoulders.  Thanks.

I bought a zipper hooded shirt/jacket at Compton . I wear a large normally and large is what i bought keeping in mind I could have heavy clothes under it. I thought it to be perfect.
good luck you can't go wrong with their merchandise top quality and craftmanship.

I'm between an M and an L. I ordered an M and sold it so I can buy an L since I'm a skinny dude and have to layer under it.

mellonhead....double check with teresa before you buy, but I think you would be a perfect XXL.

Asbell wool is just roomy enough for a little layering.

You and I are twins then cause that's exactly what I am so 2XL will fit perfect cause I got two and I'm broad across the shoulders/center also...  :rolleyes:

The cut is pretty true with room for a little layering as already mentioned, the stuff is great for a wide range of temps, too.

Don't get in a big hurry.. I ordered and paid for some stuff from Asbell on June 4th and still have not received it more than a month later.

Sorry for the sour grapes, (I'm usually a quiet guy) but but I called near the end of June to check the status and was told they were gone for 2 weeks and would get on it. So, I noticed by the tracking number that the "Electronic shipping information" was received by USPS on July 1st. and I thought "great", but it is yet more than another week later and the package has still not been delivered to USPS for shipping.

Just fyi

Like some of the other guys I am 6' and 260.I have the XXL and it fits good. But doin't plan on putting a lot of extra layers under it.I ordered mine in the summer a year ago and it took a little while.But it did show up way before the cold did.  :thumbsup:

Thats twice you posted about this, the first time you didn't mention it was shipped and you had a tracking number....If Teresa shipped it, you should be going after the USPS, not the Asbells. I suggest you follow up with them and quit posting negative information on a public forum.

Thanks guys.  Now I need to decide on a pattern.  Kinda torn between the little delta plaid and evening stand green or brown.  I hunt the hardwood forests here in PA.  Opinions welcomed.

I'm 6'4", 265 lbs, and the XXL fits fine.  I have the evening stand brown and it works great in southcentral PA

6'4" 225 w/ long arms.  XL fits well...had her make the sleeves longer for me...38" I believe.  Give her a call she will fix you up...great service and product!

Call her for sure!  She makes them "custom" and did a great job on mine.  Fits perfectly!

Roger, you didn't read my post completely. I said USPS received the electronic shipping information, not the package. They can't ship what they haven't got.

Mellonhead:
2xl should fit you perfectly. I'm about your size and have several of her wool pieces. The last few weeks Teresa and Fred have been entertaining 2011 TG St. Judes auction winners; attending Denton Hill, Compton, etc. They travel in a motor home from show to show. This is a busy time of year. Don't get in a hurry. When she finishes your piece you'll get it lickity split and it will be worth the wait.
