Is there a standard national gear board?

My problem is I was thinking of buying a shooting jacket.
I got like the ones Fred sales. My problem is I need an extra large. Does he occasionally get more jackets so I could just watch patiently. Or are there other places to get them. I know cmp sells blue ones.

Skywalker,
Individual Appleseeders put things up for sale here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?board=19.0  and Appleseed-friendly businesses list things here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?board=274.0

I got a brand new olive drab jacket on Gunbroker several years ago for $15 plus $10 shipping.  I occasionally see them pop up.  You just never know. 

You can also get a jacket custom made here: https://sites.google.com/site/madebymcron/jackets 

Remember, if you are going to wear it as an instructor, we have a no camouflage policy.  OD or tan are safe, or UK blue  O0  Personally, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on one.  ;)

2 of the Alaska crew have jackets from mcron.  They are excellent.  I have the same style but true USMC surplus. I like it.

I have a shooting jacket I bought from Fred's years ago. I do like to wear it for shooting if for nothing else the padded elbows on rocks. I do wear it for instructing too for the same reason. The ones from Fred's and maybe the others do shrink considerably, mine was a 2xl, I wear a size L t-shirt. Just something to consider.
