If I rember correctly, they pay for alterations with the new uniform. Some of us are still the same size, some lost a bunch of weight, while others just got fatter. Order what you think that you need and if it fits or can be tailored to fit, great. If it doesn't, return it and start over. Until they give you a uniform that fits properly, just keep wearing your current one. Their brand, their problem.

Here is the next set of arguments… Will the company pay me to drive to the UPS store to return it if needed? What about add pay for grabbing the box off my front porch when the new box shows up? They gonna pay me to go to an alteration shop to get the uniform tailored properly? If not I’m gonna wear that 52 short jacket and 46 short slacks over my big belly until they do… not my problem! 😱

See, you and that guy prior to you are reasonable.
A lot of guys on here seem to enjoy doing the absolute bare minimum as a point of pride, and would order a poorly fitting uniform with glee. Looking like a clown would be way better in their estimation than wasting an hour of their precious time. You, I and several others have pointed out some common sense ways of finding your sizing so that you can order a uniform that fits. It's not that hard.
But hey, it is what it is. We have 350 pound pilots and guys who wear black sneakers and the planes still fly, so I guess it doesn't matter that much. Not something I personally subscribe to, but if people want to look awful, I suppose that's their prerogative.
