Professional Beekeeping Suit - Full Body Cotton Bee Suit with Self-Supporting Fencing Veil - White Large | Beekeeper Protective Gear for Hive Inspection & Honey Harvesting

i first ordered a large. what i got was marked "XL", and it indeed would have fit Shaquille O'Neal! returned it for a medium. very snug around my waist/abdomen, but WAAAAY long in the sleeves and legs. guess i'll just have to shirr them. would like to know care instructions--washing, drying? (the first suit cost $72; to get the medium size, i had to pay $104. is this a bait-and-switch scam?).I saw this beekeeping suit and I instantly fell in love. The only thing that could be better than the pink vented suit I already own is an even pinker suit. This thing is a vibrant Barbie pink, the material is soft, and it is well sewn. That’s about where the love affair ends. To be fair, I am short. To be exact I am 4 foot, 11 inches tall. I expect things to be a little long, but this is ridiculous. The upper body fits great, the arms are the perfect length, and the elastic gathers exactly at the waist. The crotch hangs almost to my knees, so I have to do this weird crotch grabbing pimp swagger to be able to walk. With the added 36 inch inseam, this thing would better fit someone over 6 feet tall with unbelievably short arms. I wish that was the worst of it. The veil is more like a child sized veil. It rests on my shoulders like a normal fencing style veil, but it so short that it rubs the top of my head, insuring direct access to any bee that feels like stinging. I can only imaging that this veil was designed for either Marge Simpson or a cone head, because I have no other explanation for it’s odd shape. I really wanted to love this suit, but I just can’t. I’m giving it 2 stars for the color, and the excellent work of the poor seamstress that was forced to sew this abomination.Great suit for hobby beekeeping! I am so glad I could find a small size.For one they sent the wrong size but I needed to keep it because I had Bees coming the day I received the suit. The Velcro does not overlap and a little sucker got in and got me right on the eyelid please do not purchase thisA little roomy but I like the freedom of movement. 5’-10”.I absolutely love it. I've worn it several times already. The color is better than what the picture shows!This is very well made. It's a little big but not to much. It's thick but still light weight. I love the pink color! Good quality!I absolutely LOVE my bright pink bee suit!! I feel like I am really stylish while taking care of bees! Thank you!!
