Big man clothing
I am having a very hard time finding clothing for bigger cyclist. I mentioned it to the local Performance and didn't get much of a reply. They are usually really great to deal with and a great bunch of guys. I guess big peoples clothing must not be a big priority. Is there a particular place that sells larger size cycling clothes, especially jerseys?

Might sound like a silly question, but which kinda big? Some of us are tall, some of us are wide, and some of us are both.
I'm 6'6" and 235, and I don't usually have problems with stuff from Performance. XL's in bibs and jerseys fit pretty well.
For wider or tall and wide cyclists, Aerotech is awesome.

The reason I posted aerotechdesigns, is because he said he was having problems finding something with performance. At 235, I am wearing Pearl Izumi shorts in large and they are a lot better quality than the aerotech. But, I don't know if Pearl Izumi is any good for larger people.
