Title: Ren Shirts for Very Big Men
Post by: stonebearer on February 08, 2010, 11:33:44 AM
I am in great need of getting a new shirt.  The one I bought years ago in Largo is falling apart and have not found any 6X shirts at the festival in recent years.  Does anyone know of any vendors that will be at BARF or an on-line shops?

If they do not respond in the next few days, please be aware that they are out building their booth at the newest faire in central Texas called Sherwood Forest Faire.  I am sure they will get back with you very soon.

Lady Kathleen of Olmsted, a member of this forum, does custom work for the same price as ready made, and her work is exquisite.  You can send her a ren-mail for more info.  In her profile, she has pictures of different items she has created, and many forum members have ordered garb from her.  My husband is a big guy (3XL)  who is short-waisted and has somewhat of a sway back.  His garb fits him perfectly, which he never could get off the rack.

I had a shirt made by Lady Kathleen for trf last season, it was fantastic.
I recommend her. Her work is a treat, and I look forward to commisioning
more pieces from her.

The largest shirt I have made for a client, which was a Pirate Shirt, was a 4X. The largest Pirate coat was also a 4X

Men come in all shapes and sizes. The ability to alter a pattern to accommodate varying sizes need not be difficult.
