No Jim...

Actually, it's a little known but well documented fact, that the heavy cotton 'duck' material used in those
older jumpsuits has a tendency to shrink in the mid section of the suits...
while remaining consistent in size vertically / length wise.

I'm told it has something to do with the grain of the cells in the material....
and the overall effect gravity has on them when
the suit is folded up in a gear bag for an
extended period of time.:)

This is a documented fact!:ph34r:

I even checked it out for myself...
and sure enough...

ALL the old jumpsuits I have from back in the
80's are 'just a bit' too small...

all in the same general area!:o



I guess that's one ONE MORE thing that is
better made with today's materials!!!B|:P



Thanks man, I like your creative solution. But gaining 65 lbs over the last 26 years hasn't helped either.

P.S. Bozo and I are pals and he knows I luv him, so don't censor my above missive or ban my ass from this forum......

Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Well it HAS to be that!:$


I tip the scale at 230 (+ - 5)
......and that's what I weighed 25 years ago
when I played college ball....:)


So...I KNOW it's not ME! :ph34r:





Granted...my CG 'has' changed .....a little....:P

Merry Christmas backatcha bud !

Jim....I dont think your assesment of the duck shrinkage is accurate. After reading your post I went and found my old football letter jacket and the same thing has happened to it....so it cannot be the duck cuz its certainly made of cotton and leather.

Heres what I think......we aged a bit....the old jumpsuits dont fit anymore......but we are still skydiving.
Thats all that matters fellas.
