Their draconian no returns policy doesnt inspire confidence either.

@slappomatt I normally wear a large in t-shirt/button down, and an XL in most hoodies besides Carhartt hoodies. Their XL fit just fine.

Couldn't hurt to shoot them an email if you've got any doubts.



To be fair, most of their stuff is "made to order," and it's usually about 2-3 weeks from when I click order to when it arrives on my doorstep, which kinda jives with that claim in my experience. Everything I've bought from them has been pretty nice.

No idea who he is or what group he's with but given his beard, mix of uniforms and equipment and that all identifying info is blocked out I'm going to guess he's fit enough to have earned whatever spot he holds.  His chin strap doesn't appear to be cinched tightly either.  Or maybe he's just fat, but I bet he could still kick my butt.  

Funny side note, a buddy showed me a picture of him on one of his PMC runs in Afghanistan. Apparently the state department is eat up with college educated dreamers who have no idea how things work in the real world and the persons they were escorting (two women if it matters) didn't want his teams guns visible so he's wearing a huge camo jacket he found over his plate carrier that has all of his gear and there's a Krink slung up under his right arm and a medical backpack on his back. He's about 5'8" and pretty muscular normally but he looks like Nanook of the North or one of the dwarves from The Hobbit in his ridiculous lumpy cover jacket and wearing his ballistic helmet with camera, light, IR strobe and NODs mount.   Somehow rolling up in armored vehicles including a large armored vehicle with a mounted machine gun is OK, but having your security guys have visible guns is bad.    He's got some pretty interesting stories about what a soup sandwich most of the state department is.  

I am the opposite, I have worn a xl T shirt for years but only in the last year to two gotten fat enough that I get jackets in XL instead of L. Makes me think I should order a 2X and thats a line I am trying to not cross.

I had a night desert parka for years and years (bought it at a PX back 8n 91)  wore the ever loving shit out of it!  It was my favorate coat!
Well... when my ex shit-canned our house and pretty much all of my possessions back in '12 (long, sad story)... I lost my beloved, "woobie-lined" parka!
Fast forward to about a month ago... I finaly found a reasonably priced "XL" sized replacement!  Took years of watching Ebay auctions routinely going north of a hundred bux!

Pic of my broken in parka back around 2001 or so...  need to break in the new one now!

Congrats! I bid up to $100 on an XL parka (with liner) when I started this thread but ended up getting beat in the auction at the last minute. As it turns out I already have the AdventureTech goretex jacket, so I'm probably just going to keep that with my gear and not bother getting a parka.

I might have to get some of these stencils:

What is the best thread title format, and why is it subject following interrogative?
