I have a hood/vail combo that I got for Christmas and am currently looking for a suit which would have to be fitted to me. I am 6'2" 400+lbs barrel chested and do not think most of the suits that the catalogs offer will fit. Any ideas?

Do what I do, use an older pair of your blue jeans (without tears or holes, of course.) Go to Goodwill, pick up a decent white (or light colored) longsleeved shirt a size larger, and you're good to go. minimum expense. Works just fine. When they weare out, no big deal replacing them.

In fact, I have three shirts, and when I leave an apiary, I change shirts...esp. in the summer when I sweat a lot.
Regards,
Steven
