Please Explain......

Ok, so being the die hard Aussie that I am I have decided to spend my stimulas package on......
A new set of leather from America in preperation for Mary Hill. Hey! Americans need money to!

So I have contacted NJK and asked some info about there leathers and he has sent me this diagram for measuring. Hence the title, please explain.....

I cannot make head or tail of this diagram, what are the shaded boxes for, what are the white boxes for, is some funny geezer in a tux going to have to fondle my nether regions to fit me for this suit??

If you have ordered leathers through this bloke before (which I know some of you have) can you "please explain" what i am meant to do with this...........

Here's my uneducated guess:

The white boxes are for you to write your measurements in. The light-grey and dark-grey boxes show example measurements for a medium- and large-sized person respectively

those white boxes are for your measurements and as bugs said the grey and dark grey are examples.
your best bet is to print that sheet out and take it to a tailor and get them to measure you up. try and find a decent looking female one coz they will have to get into your crotch region...
but the main thing you need to do is take TWO sets of measurements, one standing up straight and one in your tuck, and clearly mark both. this way they can get a rough estimate of how much movement you will need in your suit.
also get the accordion stretch pannel in the lower back, and get kevlar stretch pannels in the armpits, inner thighs and inner elbows. ask for soft pads not hard pads (if you suit is tight enough you probly wont even need padding, but soft padding helps a bit for 100km/h crashes)

you only need to do one set of measurements while you are standing straight..they are in inches.and your weight is in pounds.and stretch panels through the groin for a better tuck...theese suits have been designed by speedboarders so they are designed to go into a tuck..

Nothing wrong with padding inside the suit.
I've got pieces of elbow floating around inside the soup of my body after I decided to take the pads out and slammed something major doing 70 round the big r/h sweeper at kiera.

Champions, I did suspect that the shaded boxes were examples. Thanks very much for you help dudes. Will get onto it ASAP.
