Only from a canuck...
He is from the US but stationed in England.
BTW was anyone else fighting "over there" before us? I don't think so...SO in other words, they would be fighting for us, just like we fought for them so they wouldn't be speaking German!
and one more thing 
Or maybe you are so
you just can't!And another BTW....Russia was "over there" for quite some time, and went home.
Ya wanna debate this issue???

Back to the chaps sizing. The thigh size is just as important as the waist size. Too small and you won't be able to zip them up. Too large and they'll flap in the wind and drive you nuts. Though if they're too large a good upholstery shop can cut the side opposite the zipper and sew them back together pretty easily to make them tighter. Find a shop that knows what they're selling.

OP, get yourself stationed over here.
Custom made anything you want, better quality and less expensive than anywhere else. Besides, Asian women > European ladies.
Do the best to enjoy the rest of your trip over there, I was there a couple years ago...it sucked, but it'll worth it in the long run.

I have a pair made by FMC. If you buy these ones make sure you get yourself a snap button replacement kit at your local sewing supply store. Since most of my riding is on the CA coast, the snaps rust and I have to replace a few every season. BTW thank you England for being a good friend to the US. Won't forget Tony Blair sitting next to Mrs. Dubya at the joint session of Congress after 9/11.
Don't remember Cretien being there....

Thanks for your service...
About the chaps... I'd stand next to a 6 month old camel, and if it looked like it'd fit, I'd pop one round 'tween the eyes. Then skin the front thighs. Run over to the border, and grab one of those pakis from the salt train, and have him pack the skin in salt for ya. By the time you get 'home' to lakenwhatsit, the skin should be ready for tanning. You'll always have one more conversation starter...
