I am going to need something - but I have one problem- my shoulders. They are actually of Incredible Hulk size proportions and all my life I've had to wear men's shirts as by the time I go up enough in women's sizes to accommodate them, the rest of the shirt could house a circus!

So how many of you just wear a tshirt with a bib, or a sleeveless stock shirt? It is winter but I'm a hardy wee soul and would prefer the use of my shoulders. I suppose I could buy a mans stock shirt but I don't really want to :(

Or how broad in the shoulders are the Dublin stock shirts?

Any help would be appreciated

I use a bib and t-shirt. Stock pin stays on and I just take off the bib after my test. It looks really smart and i find it a lot more comfortable than a shirt.

I have a stock shirt, one of the tshirt stretchy type material ones with the stock shirt type bib on it find that they are good as they do stretch quite a bit.

I use a similar style but by Musto and have also had ones from Equenox which were very good, as they are stretchy. The Musto one is a breathable fabric like those used in fine base layers/running tops, so it is lightweight for under your jacket, but in winter isn't too chilly:).
 
Wear any kind of collarless top underneath and the stock on top, usually long sleeve base layer or vest top if it's warm, i'm lazy as well, all my stocks are pre-tied with the pins sat in a box in the lorry so all i have to do is decide what diva colour we are wearing that day - LOL Can't be doing with proper shirts, i need to move properly under my jacket and i never feel comfy with a proper shirt on.
 
I went for a sleeveless shirt... just because even with stretchy tshirt types I still struggle with my shoulders. But if its a cold day I can wear one of my thermatex (male lol) training tops underneath and you'd never know. But I'm a very warm person anyway (think still turning out in a tshirt in November comfortably. Weirdo) so I think I'll be ok.

Thanks for all your help, when I'm not so much in a rush for one I will look into the tshirts and see how the fit is!
