Unexpected NSV

So I'm a Sales Rep in the Oil & Gas industry here in Alberta. Once and a while I have to visit a site and gear up Nomex Coveralls, hard hat, etc. About 7 years ago, tired of ill fitting coveralls (usually too short in the body length) I had some custom built. (64L extra tall).
They fit good back then, fast forward to 2011, I could hardly zip them up. I definitely couldn't bend over or sit in them comfortably without unzipping them. Not very safe either. The last time I put them on was November.
Well today I rolled up on a site that required me to gear up, I was bummed thinking I was going to look like a sausage stuffed into a blue fire retardant casing with reflective stripes.
As I pulled them on and zipped them up today I couldn't believe how much room I had in them! I am sure the are looser than they were 7 years ago.
One of our service guys even noticed that they were fitting better and asked if I had been losing weight.
WooHoo!

WTG! I have a set of flame retardant work wear for occasional visits to oil and gas sites as well. It was very tight 18 months ago so I am hoping for the same NSV as you next time I have to go on site.0
