Hi Guys,
as you may know the Posey 8118 XS has been discontinued some time ago.
Probably there were not enough sales.
I'd like to re-create it at the same time make it slightly better.
Got measurements from the S, M, L and XL.
Missing the XS measurements.
Does any of you have a XS and could take some measurements ?

Hi Harry

I can't help you since I don't have an extra small Posey. I have only seen a couple of them on eBay over the years.
I think compared to other sizes, they are very rare.

I am intrigued by your intention to re-create the Posey 8118 line. Could you share some of your intentions on how you plan to make them "slightly better"?

Good luck with your project
Joe

I own the Humane Restraint jacket with croth strap in the sizes small, medium, large and extra large. The quality of them is not A+ although it is after many people the orriginal (oldest strait jacket).

In the inside the needlework is not done very well. The cotton cloth material can beside the outet side of the sew very easily tear appart. The cotton has specialy at the inside of the sleeves no natural brim inside so the end of woven textile cloth can be picked threat by threat.

Humane restaint is much cheaper thans Posey 8118 jackets, but I quess that their quality is much better. So If the Germans going to make strait jackets, and the will be with the same quality standard as Segufix, you have a nice product.

Well...current plans are for a copy close to the original.
Good material including original buckles imported from the US.
No fancy D-Rings or alike anywhere.
The differences will mainly be two things :

Longer sleeves on the sj's. The sleeves have been a problem for many people. Posey's imho have been made for people who are more wide than tall. And not for beanpoles. Adding like say 6" to the sleeves on the S model and maybe a tad less on the M size should solve that problem.

Lower price. Not done yet with calculation...but...the general idea is 50% off.

Regarding offering the XS : I kinda never liked the fact that it does not have a colored collar like the other ones. I mean..yes...it has...a white one. I'd rather have a real color there. Any ideas apart from the obvious no-no's red, green, yellow, blue and black ?

I don't know the XS measurements, but it would be nice if it was the same as the Maxcita ones:

As for collar color, maybe orange or pink.
