Cabela's Polartec 300

I've got this fleece, and as I've said, I love it. A thermal shirt, a
chamois shirt, this jacket, and a wind shell is enough to bring me down to
a windy 30 degree day on the water.

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. ;-)

That's because you're a small, small man. ;-)

It happens, and those it happens to can have trouble getting good stuff at
reasonable cost, so I thought I'd pass it along.

That Polartec 300 is good stuff

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?

Wonderful size?! Hell, my sleeping bag is only an XL.

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.

I'm 5' 3" or 5' 4", so it covers me. I'll agree the T makes a
difference. Right now I'm wearing an XL 2T thermo tee-shirt from the
Big and Tall Men's Casual shop as a dress. Comes to just below my
knees when I stand up. Great for casual around the house wear.

Ken's taller than I am, but it might do for him.

At 5'4", I'd suspect you could get a couple of broomsticks and use a 3XL coat as
a pup tent. My SO is 5'10" and if she puts on my XLT stuff, she looks like a
child in her father's coat. That said, if you like the "short dress" effect of
men's Tall stuff, you might also look at men's nightshirts - my SO has
"borrowed" the couple I _had_, and has gotten a couple of her own, giving her a
variety of weights/materials. She really likes them, but as always with such,
YMMV. At your height, I would guess that a "regular" size would be plenty, thus
making them a little easier to find, but ???

Somehow, I wound up getting the catalogs from "Sportsman's Guide"
(www.sportsmansguide.com), and while a good bit of their stuff seems, well, just
poor value - junk, useless, and/or overpriced, they do seem to have pretty good
deals, for some odd reason, on contract overrun/surplus Euro military
under-gear/-wear that you might find useful.

Ken's taller than I am, but it might do for him.

Oh, thanks - THERE'S a good morning image - Ken in an "underdress"....
