What about getting clothing from a bike store?
BTW...Bean is more than a clothing store. They have sold other outdoor gear for a long time. When I was riding home after crossing the country my tent zipper crapped out, which is not a good thing in mosquito-ridden Maine. Asked the woman working the campground office if there was an outdoor store around. She asked me where I was headed. I showed her my map. She looked up at me with this dumbfounded look on her face and said "Well, you're going through Freeport." "And that means what?" I asked. She informed me it was the home of L.L. Bean. Picked me up a new tent and I was back in business.
