I'd also like a pair of fleece-lined 60%+ cotton jogger bottoms in the same size, don't care if they're open or closed ankle or about the colour.

I was going to say "UK/EU only", but sod it, at this point I'll happily(well, grudgingly, but still) risk getting hit with a ridiculous Customs charge if someone in Canada/USA/Norway/other cold places knows a shop that has what I want and ships to the UK.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8195607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8195607.page GMT Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes?
You could check campaign and hiking shops like Cotswold Outdoors, Blacks, Mountain Equipment and Decathlon.

They always seem to be having some kind of sale and while the top end stuff is a bit pricey, the own brand goods are much cheaper.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8195708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8195708.page GMT Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8195771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8195771.page GMT Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes?

I'm just over 6'3", heavily built, and presently a bit overweight, so you can imagine the issue You don't even want to know what a pain in the arse it is to find shoes & socks with size 15 feet.

I've checked the sites yourself and Orlando recommend already, sadly nowt; the outdoor gear stores don't stock anything above a 38-40" waist in regular length(usually 30" inside leg), and the big & tall places don't stock the kind of items I'm after. Walmart, sadly, don't ship to the UK they just direct you to Asda who they own in the UK and who don't stock nearly as wide a range of stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8196144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8196144.page GMT Re:Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Helly-Hansen-Ashford-Construction-Inside/dp/B004J06B78

is this the sort of thing ?

Out of stock here but brand name might be of some help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8196172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8196172.page GMT Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes?

TK Max? Every time I go in there, all their stuff seems to be made for giants. You might find something in the winter sports section for skiing/snowboarding. Also if you're at your wits end, you could look into having something made. It shouldn't be hard to find cargo pants in your size, and I'm sure someone would sew a lining into them for you. It might not be as expensive as you'd think, and you'd have much more choice over the style.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8198172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8198172.page GMT Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes? TK Max is worth checking because they have a wide variety of stuff that often cycles, 2. the idea of having a lining attached to ordinary trousers.

As a third suggestion, how about unlined trousers and wearing leggings underneath for warmth? I do it for my rowing coaching (it's fething cold sitting on a launch on the river. I'll probably wear three layers on my legs in the mid-winter.)

As for sizes at outdoor stores, you can also order direct from manufactures (Rab, Berghaus, Craghoppers, and so on) but the largest sizes available are generally 40 inch waist and 34 inch leg.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8198310.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/667358/8198310.page GMT Re:Outdoorsy/winter clothing for big blokes?
