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. ;)

Shooting jackets are hot.
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.
