camouflage clothing

[tds123]

Right, there is really only one way to put this, I'm a bit, er fat! Lol but also big built, I've a 42 waist, a 52 chest and a 19.5 neck! And I'm finding it hard to find camouflage clothing big enough. I've tried army surplus etc but for some reasone they don't let fat baxxxxds in the army! Lol, if anyone knows where I can get my hands on some over sized, but not over priced gear, I'd appreciate it
Cheers

My Browning realtree padded suit,is 3xl,n is plenty roomy for my 40waist.think it would fit 50"built in braces n comes up to my chestline which is 48"plenty of room .jacket a loose fit over thermals,hoody ,trousers,!!
I think they go upto 5xl.especially if you look at the american market.They tend to have "LARGE people".
I wanted a 2xl,but as they were in Sportsmans sale n no stock of 2xl.i settled for their offer of 3xl.glad plenty of room.bout 3 years ago Think it was bargain of the year at around £30.but then it was bankrupt stock.

hello,
tds123 never had a problem buying XXL or XXXL pending what I'm looking for. Maybe try http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk/ If you e-mail them they will get back to you with any kit enquiries. Good luck :wink:

You star, thanks mate!

Have you tried ebay, i managed to find big stuff on there T^

Well I WAS going to get offended, but I just went up a size in my work trousers and went from L to XL in my favorite v-neck t-shirts. :D I was also up 3-4 pounds at my last doctor visit from the previous one... :eek:

So, yeah, the American market would definitely tend to have camo that caters to the corpulent.

Good luck!

Oops! Its so easy to forget that the first w in www. Stands for world!!! Lol, oh and thanks for all the suggestions everyone, if you don't see me around for a while, you'll know I've got it sorted...... Sorry! It was bad I know!

Strange I only wear the padded cammo suit because its warm.not because its a "RealTree"can't see me suit.
I have a thin padded brown suit,i wear in the woods with a bright scarlet jacket over the top of it.
as long as i sit still whilst awaiting the Wild Boar.I'm often nearly knocked of my stool by Fallow Deer,Roe Deer,and on one occasion a Bear.Foxs n kunas too,wander bye without seeing you.
also have Tweeds for more formal shooting.

I have never bothered with camouflage clothes in the past, just stuck to stuff that resembles the habitat, at that time of year and done OK, but my Mrs is fed up with me ruining my clothes, so I've been ordered to kit my self out and from what I've seen there is some better patterns on the market now and all the local crows, pigeons, magpies and jackdaws know me so well now that even if I walk through the village to go to the shop, they go nuts! The new hide I'm building in the back garden will help too!

[midas]

I find covering face n hands,more important than cammo.Tho like you tim Ive got whiskers too.so I'm half way there.lol.

[midas]

Hi Tim, when I dont want to be seen (which is a lot of the time ) I use German army flecktarn, its a good camo, its tough as old boots and its relativly cheap, check it out on fleabay, Ken

Tell me about it! I went to the local outdoor supply store recently, and their Mossy Oak and Realtree camo were all xl and up....and I'm a thin lightweight :p lol.

[jbrown14]

Tim, that's a fantastic back garden! You're one lucky man! :D T^

I saw some German flecktarn pattern anoraks a couple of years back at a local army-navy store, and I'm still kicking myself for not picking one up as I haven't seen one there since.

You'll have to grow into your American body, Jon. Don't let yourself get left behind. :) I'm 6'1" and weighed out at 225lb a couple of weeks ago, but I've been more sedentary in recent years.

It's a rightly deserved stereotype that we Americans are on the larger side, it's a growing problem (ha!.) Rest assured that I couldn't take offense to any remarks when spoken as a matter of fact. This is truly a world-wide forum that has given me opportunity to converse with folks from every part of the globe. What a priviledge!

All the best,

Josh

Thanks mate, its awesome thinking oh I feel like shooting, opening the back door and I'm there;)
