Well, frell

I had an image in my mind of exactly what would constitute good cold-weather gear for hanging around a clinic parking lot for hours in the winter. An image that derailed a moment ago when I discovered that LL Bean stops making flannel-lined jeans *one size below mine.*

The hell, Bean? I've been this size for a long time now, and it's the first year I *couldn't* shop from your catalog. Reducing your customer pool in a bad economy is a really bright idea, there. (Well done Winter Silks, because I can get the long underwear I wanted from you. Also glove and sock liners; at least one merchant is giving me one-stop shopping.)

Now the question is, do I want to start from scratch or will it be easier to get a pair of jeans and add the lining to them? And shall I go ahead and make/adapt a denim jacket while I'm at it?

wintersilks rocks.....

have you checked hunting supply stores? they sell cold weather gear in sizes up to "large men" .

I don't know what your size is, but Land's End also carries flannel lined jeans in plus sizes (and you might be able to try them on at Sears).

I got lined jeans last year at CostCo...

I have never come across the idea of lined jeans before. Can I just say that's an awesome idea? Though, I've gotten a similar effect by wearing a pair of flannel pajama bottoms under my jeans.

I say get a pair of jeans and line them yourself.
