Kent Ketchum Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Okay, I am just getting back into SASS. None of my old stuff fits. And I am a big guy. Does anybody know who makes custom shirts? I can find just about everything else I need. But nothing that comes remotely close to a shirt that fits my neck. Who have you guys used in the past?

Sedalia Dave Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Check out Duluth Trading Co. They sell big and tall sizes in Button as well as Henley style shirts. Their Armachillo line is nice on hot days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 You could go to a fabrick store and ask if they know of someone. . That way they can measure you and fit locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Ask your dry cleaner establishment for the name of their seamstress. Every dry cleaning business employs seamstresses to repair clothes damaged in the dry cleaning process. Historically I have found these ladies to be very receptive to custom projects.

Griff Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Try these also: Historical Emporium; and here: Wild West Merchantile; also try Spur Western Wear; or Cattle Kate; or Old West Trading Company; There's a couple of others... but inventory in large sizes can be hit or miss! Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested in seeing what I might have available right now in your size, please contact me. I can take pictures of all shirts available in your size. I can also take pics of fabric I have on hand that is available. My email is basnyder1@comcast.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
