Sorry for opening a new topic as there is already a plethora of information here. However, the search ignores 5xl and adding extra and large has not rendered the desired results.

The suit is for a gentleman in our local chapter. He is partially blind and has a packed schedule while I have some free time so he needs a little help.

My thoughts have been find a suit that offers a tall 5xl (or even a 6xl)… I know that is ridiculously high for a factory-made suit so my idea is to either buy two suits and hand it off to a tailor to custom size it OR get a tailor to scratch build it. Price is not an issue at this time. Nor is time.

I have also considered even commissioning Magnoli for this suit. I know that not only will that cost be very high but also that the waiting list, at the time of this writing is 8 months. I’m just explaining I’m aware of this.

What I would like to know is if there are any avenues I haven’t considered (besides just abandoning the idea) or expanding on the options I’ve already considered or may want to reconsider. Or if there is anyone here who has managed to get a [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) like this and share how I might be able to acquire one.

Thanks so much!

You may want to check in with Gibson and Barnes who made the suits for GB2 but also offer custom sized [flight suits](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform). This may be a more timely answer as Magnoli has great stuff but you may still wait a while to get it.
