Does anyone (women preferably!) know whether the new sizes of women's trousers are now in line with women's waist sizes?!

Or are they still clown trousers and should we be ordering blokes trousers again...

The trousers are pretty much true to size but i found the jackets, fleece/stormproof/cagoule come up large and had to order a size down from what i normally take.

I've ordered the same size trousers as the blue ones........ie 2 sizes bigger than shop sizing, no idea who RM based there sizing on but they must've been a freak. If by some miracle they've changed the sizing to something resembling a human shape I'll send them back.

Have any indoor workers recieved the cagoul ? We were told we are not entitled to it but we get the fleece. We work in a building with major heating problems so we get told to wear our outdoor jackets. Place is a joke

Received part of new uni today

1 pair of trousers, April I took a chance and ordered the size of jeans I normally wear, and the fit!!!! OMG first time in 4 yrs have RM supplied me with a pair of trousers that fit!!!! Well they fit at the waist, the rest is rather loose and baggy, but at least i can do them up and not have to tie them to my earlobes to keep them up. I am NOT wearing the same pair of trousers 5 days in a row, so they can either get another pair sent or I'll be back to wearing my jeans.

1 pair of shorts. As with the trousers, they fit at the waist. Big and baggy everywhere else. And knee length, ouch!!! I like to get a bit of a tan when i'm out delivering and flash my tattoo. So these will need some turn ups


1 storm proof leggins - massive, nuff said

1 storm proof jacket - massive,nuff said

1 caghoul - it fits, but is the mankiest colour of red I have ever seen in my life. I love red, I look good in red, but this is just horrible!

1 beanie hat - expected it to be a bit small, as i have lots of hair. So par for the course that it would have been too small

1 belt - Good size - crppy stupid buckles on it. The type that are impossible to work when you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and no feeling in your hands. So I'll stick to my own old fashioned buckle belt, or give people a laugh when my drawers fall down
As it stands at the moment, I will have to go to work topless as no shirts have arrived for me yet Won't be the first time I've done this anyhoo, after going out in my shirt and getting soaked, completed the delivery with just my jacket on, pretty sure the punters got a laugh when they seen me go into my car and get the wet shirt off and the jacket on

Got ours recently. Trousers fit better than the old ones but the front pockets are not deep enough, I get the feeling I'll lose something without realising it when sat on the van. I have to put things like keys in the cargo pocket. Not much fun having them banging against my leg for 3 and 1/2 hours a day. The fleece feels too warm and heavy, I'll only wear it when it's really cold. It has really big pockets on the inside for some strange reason. They flap about if the fleece is worn open. The polo shirts are very similar to the old ones. The kagool is OK but for some reason a couple of the guys in our office got ones with welsh logos on them. Comments regarding using sheep for recreational purposes immediately started lol.
