I had seen that before, but I didn't need them since I was still buying from Blair.

I registered and signed up for their newsletter. Prices for the poly/cotton are very fair.

Appreciate it,

I lost my source for affordable guayabera shirts. I was buying from http://www.blair.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , but they stopped carrying anything larger than 3XL.

Have a source you'd care to share?

Have you tried the jeans there? I have a hard time finding large sizes in stores. Any Any comments on their clothing quality?

They were carrying Wranglers, which I often bought in the relaxed fit. They stopped carrying Wranglers. When I was a size 56, I had good luck with their private brand Scandia Woods jeans. But when I went to size 54, I didn't care for them. In 54, the Scandia Woods are too short-waisted. Plus, there is a full 12" between belt loops in front. They space loops 5" apart everywhere except in front, so they droop down below the belt. I'd say jeans are hit or miss, depending on your size.

Their quality is good. I still buy a lot of casual dress shirts from Blair.

Sportsmans Guide has started selling workwear now and I've been able to buy Wranglers from them. Not everything is available in big sizes, but enough are that it's worth looking.

Maybe we can start a new trend in Texas.

If you like a shirt with a western theme, try a Sonoran shirt.

Still, none larger than 3XL. And starting at $79.95, out of my reach, anyway.

I bought a couple from http://www.haband.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , but the only ones they have in 5XL are with a zipper.

Gary Busey comes to mind..then again, he's not typical.

Especially since it's a picture of Nick Nolte!
