up to 150 responses - thanks again everyone!

I will keep it open through the next week or at least until responses stop coming in - whichever comes first.

I will say that there are some definite patterns emerging

Even though you specified a six month time period, I kinda went back further. I really didn't buy much this year so I gave info more generally. Hope it is useful.

BTW, I notice more and more big folks out on the weekends spinnin' those cranks, so there is a market segment waiting to be served.

I wonder if someone can create a spreadsheet or database directory of sellers of bigger clothing so we only have to look at one place to see what is available and then go directly to the seller.
