Luke Hatley Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Ken, after Making several Buckskin Shirts over a period 22 years , I have had to use 3 different patterns to meet my expecitations as to how a shirt is to fit. The Gentleman that is getting this one , has a 52" waist and is only 5'6" tall --- short arms Large belly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
