I have bought Schöffel fleeces for years, mainly Oakhams in different colours and a Cottesmore - and they last for years, the time came to get another, and by now neater Cottesmore. I ordered a UK48 on line. When it arrived it was way too small. The label said 48, the inch tape read 44. I went to a stockist and their sizings were air smaller than the labels. Even the 50 was too tight. New manufacturing company? Poor quality control?. Returned and money refunded but you lost a sale and probably a returning customer. Went to Dubarry - perfect fit. Would have been one star except for the speedy refund.
