I'm gonna give it a try, but I'm leary because not only am I really fat, but I have a LONG torso and short legs (yes, I'm one of those fat people with short legs even though I'm 5 foot 7 in). Most suits like the one you posted end up not covering my ginormous rack because of my long torso. Still, for $30, I'll give it a try and eat the shipping costs if it doesn't fit. Besides, I was planning on ordering some padded bike shorts from Junonia anyway. Thanks for the info about the suit from Junionia.

Hey, there's a market here! Want my money? And there's been some great links in the comments to clothing stores... thanks!

If the insinuation is that fat people should be exercising all the time — because we should only exercise to lose weight — then why isn’t there a market out there for appropriate clothing?

Carolina, S. Carolina, and Georgia (where I used to live). ANNNND....they don't have online ordering. They're good for random finds, but mostly cater to the 70-ish and older crowd (if you don't like polyester or knit with lace collars, I wouldn't recommend shopping in their regular clothes...). Worth a look, however, if you live and/or visit the area... A Hamrick’s is this:

Their pants seem to run large though, I measured as their 3X (26-28ish) and the stretch pants were falling off me. The tops I got seem to run true to size. YMMV etc. This was all mail order. Apparently Australia is like Wisconsin! Who knew? I bought some stuff from the REI “extended sizes” range and it seemed pretty decent, along the lines of the stuff from Sport Hill.
