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.  ;)

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775

2 of the Alaska crew have jackets from mcron.  They are excellent.  I have the same style but true USMC surplus. I like it.
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren

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.
