Cabela's is the place, not cheap but well made of quality materials and properly sized.

Once I would suggest Mark's for oversize clothing, but since CrappieTire bought them, for the past 3 years they don't even stock XL glove/mitt sizes, nor 12-14 sock sizes. And as far as long-sizing for shirts and jeans, not! for shirts and just maybe for pants. And boots at $185 that I can get for $85??? I just can't do that anymore. I'm a real maple leaf... but... that's just too big a price to pay.

Sadly, it's become Cabela's and BassPro online for me for a lot of stuff. Variety is excellent, pricing is fair to competetive, sales can be unreal, and for the PLus++ sizes and tall sizes, you actually get selection and choice in quality & features.

but, if you want good waders and are slim or tall & slim, with feet that are manly, you have to custom order through your local specialty shop from someone like Simms.

A sad Cheers!

I know exactly</u> what you mean, I can see the back/side of Mark's on 4th Ave from my front window but never go in the place anymore not even for sox.[V]

Not to mention the staff in there are a bunch of useless morons. Walked up there one day last week and just shook my head at the two babbling tools who were "trying" to provide some assistance.

"Sir...you know these are workboots you are trying on?"

"Yes....I am well aware of it, I just wanted to know if they came in a half size larger so the steel toe doesn't pinch."

"Well sir they don't"

"So looking at the stack of boxes here, they come in a EVERY half size except for 11.5"

"Yes sir....it would appear so." [xx(] []
