Plus, my experience has been that they do run pretty big to begin with. You might want to try Jalie, too. I don't know about the men's sizing, but the women's have a huge size range and they do specialize in active-type clothing. HTH!

Here is the link. As I said, there are other patterns as well and some really good reviews here on PR. I am too tired to go look, but someone recently has made their dh really cool shirts. I need to do that for my huney as well. ------ "Sewing should be fun; make it that way!" Margaret Islander Flying through life by the seat of my pants and hoping I get my crotch curve right.

Hopefully, there will NOT be too much more snow - sometimes it can even snow in May, although that is very late. Yolanda

You didn't specify how "plus" your husband is, but the Kwik Sew XXL might fit, or at least might not need much added to the waist for them to fit. ------ --Michelle *** Blog: http://happilycaffeinated.blogspot.com/

The trick here will not be the pattern (because cutting clothes apart isn't too hard, it's just tedious, and don't forget to add your seam allowance) but finding the right fabric. It sounds like you want a waterproof, breathable fabric, and enough for a plus size husband. I googled it, and came up with this nice selection: seattle fabrics: outerwear

My brother loves nylon pants for snow shoveling and grass cutting. He wears fleece/ sweats or shorts under them. If you want a fly front zip pant, can't help on that one. If your local zellers hasn't closed yet, they have nylon pants (some even lined) on super cheap ($4 here) and walmart has them for $12 - $17.
