Plus sized Sailing Gear

[PugwashesFatMate]

Hi,
I'm really hoping to find some knowledge out there on where to find oversized sailing gear. I have always been a big lad and have had 5xl gear for years.
Sadly with some family issues over the last year or so I have comforted myself with food a little too often.
What I am looking for is anywhere that sells Sailing Gear ( jacket & salopets) in size 6xl ?
Thanks anyway

I remember that Jeantex used to produce larger sized kit but I’m not sure they’re still doing so. But googling Jeantex I found this firm: Offshore & Ocean sailing suits who seem to do 3XL sailing clothing . Up at 6XL I think you’re in custom made territory though, that’s probably very expensive/unavailable.

I’d suggest looking at Helly Hansen gear. Their sizes seem to me to be super generous, I can get in their medium quite comfortably, where other gear I would want a large, or even an XL in some cases.

Take a look at Ravenspring, certainly for the salopettes. Their made to measure is the same price as the big name off the peg and my dry suit is v good quality.
I'm not sure that they would do a jacket but that should be easier to source

I have the same problem, as due to hernia awaiting op I have taken on weight (much to my annoyance as not as active as before) it seems the offshore sailing clothers think people are sticks when they are not. I need offshore gear as spend most of my time on ribs. At the end of the day big blokes like me still go afloat, and are handy on yachts as ballast.

Guy Cotten do some pretty large sizes

I bought a 3XL HH online ..... I think HH are having a laugh ....

I compared to my old Regatta 2XL .... same size.

Result : The HH does not fit ...

Agreed, that's where I'd look first.
