It's back in Cabela's bargain cave, only in 3XL, if anyones interested

3XL ?!? Damn, gettin' me big enough to fit into a 3XL would be
a tall order even for Anheuser-Busch, and gawd knows they can
brew Budweiser as fast as I can drink it. ;-)


It's a wonderful size. Other people order the size typical for their
body, but a 3XL will cover your butt when you want to sit down on a
stream side rock. Big bonus. The sleeves hang, of course. And if
you're wading, you might want to belt it up a bit so it won't drag in
the stream.

Think of it as a coat with sleeves a bit too long, rather than as a
jacket that's too big?

Um, I haven't seen the item in person, but if it is the size of most 3XL stuff,
it won't cover a butt much further down (around is another matter) than an XL.
I'm 6' 2"-ish and in my younger days, I wore a 58L ("L" for "Long") jacket,
18-20x36 shirt, and a 34-36x34 pant, and I still would not have ordered anything
in 3XL, but in many such items, I did and do often need (XL or 2XL) _T_ - "T"
for "Tall", which, obviously, IS longer.
