Today I went out to buy a pair of outdoor boots to replace the 1987 models dryrotting in my closet. I set a budget of $120, thinking that I could find a workable pair. 3 stores and $200 later I'm the proud owner of a pair of Red Wings, the only thing that I could find that both fit and wasn't made of fiberboard. I won't even tell you what it's like to try to buy shirts and topcoats when you have a 37" sleeve.

I wish I was 13E. Try finding 15E.
But, I refuse to spend more than $100. on shoes. I've got a few places, all mail order, where I can get half way decent shoes for less than $100. But, you'll pay dearly if you need the name on the side, as you know.
I, too, have to search far and wide for the 37" sleeve length.
