Lions gear in BIG sizes

I have just failed miserably to get my brother in law a T-shirt/hoody/sweatshirt/jacket of any kind in my Christmas shopping because I can't find anything in his size, which his wife says is a 3XT. He is about 6'5" 315lbs so not a small fella. I checked Jersey City (Richmond Centre) and about anywhere else I can think of that sells Lions gear.
Do any of you know if they even make merchandise that size and if so where I might find some?

I am a bigger dude too (6'8" 300) and I have found MOST of the Reebok Lions stuff in 2XL fits me.

I'm big, but not Yank or your bro-in law big.......I've gotten all my 2X gear at Sports and Stuff in Chilliwack.
Rick always has those sizes.

I'm with you on the weight, thought not the height, and my experience is the same. Note that most of the Canadian vendors' stuff tends to run small. Can't seem to find very much retail larger than a 2XL, however. With the 3X stuff, you'd have to find someone who can order it directly from the manufacturer.
My problem, if anyone runs across a solution, is that the FlexFit hats are entirely too small. I'd love a hat, but it would have to be a fitted, size 8. If anyone runs across actual fitted hats and can pass that along, I'd be appreciative.

Can those be found online anywhere for those of us who are out of market?

I echo that sentiment. I thought I had a big melon, but you edge me out Cro. I wear a 7-5/8 fitted. Those flexfits do fit me, but after about a half hour it starts feeling like a vice is slowly being tightened on my skull. So I won't buy them now. When I was looking for a Grey Cup hat in Montreal I bypassed several nice hats because they were flexfit. Finally found an adjustable one and bought it.......without trying it on. A few days after I returned home I put it on and adjusted to the max it still would only sit on top of my head. I thought WTF and looked at the tag.......YOUTH.

Collectors Den in Lansdown Mall, Richmond had some adjustable lions hats. (I am not sure if they would fit some of the bigger melons but they are better then Flexfit.)
I got one I rather like, kind of a dark blue denim, an oval on the front with stylized "Lions" written in it (think kinda like a Ford logo, but black background), and just to the left of the hole at the back the old lion with his paw on the ball logo is embroidered, and "Since 1954" embroidered above the hole.
They may be a good place to order hats, they didn't have many different Lions, but claim to have more varieties of Canucks then GM Place, so they can probably order anything.
Also, Jersey City in Richmond Centre also had a few adjustable ones, there was even a black/orange RBK Football one with the paw on the side that looked like it would fit larger craniums.
Hope that is some help to people looking for hats.

I appreciate it, but not really. I've gone that route also but, like the flexfits, adjustables really only fit people up to about Hambone's size.
For some perspective, the largest helmet size in the NFL last year was an 8. So my head is up there with the big boys. Along with shoe size, but that's another story.
If anyone is feeling adventurous, after the holidays, I have the number for American Needle's Canadian distributor. I may ring them up and try the special order route.

Bobby Singh's bucket must be close to an 8. It rattles around loose on my melon. Barrin Simpson's helmet fits about like that youth Grey Cup hat I bought......perched on top of my head. Maybe in a football helmet version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears the Alexis Bwenge helmet will be juuuussttt right. Greylocks and the Three Lions?
