Hello -- 3 stars first because I haven't owned it for a long time -- just got it. I paid $11.50 on the best day. FYI: I'm a 6ft 2in, 285lb tall guy in a Santa or Fat Gandalf uniform. With a tape measure I measure 50 inches but I have a 511 on a 44 or 46 waist that will fit. (pretty sure they fit 44 inches exactly) I also have a pair of 54 x 34 dungarees that are loose but comfortable. I usually live by the sweat of my brow, being disabled and housebound. However, once or twice a month I have to jog with documents and whatnot. Bibs are not practical. I have the belt from 47" to 51" and it's almost perfect (hole in the middle). The belt is cheap now so I'm not asking much but don't break it and force me to buy. I usually wore a leather saddle belt with 1 or 2 buckles. I prefer 1 and they last forever but fat sizes are not stocked. I just wanted to give you a hint to ---- big/tall or old and fat - buying clothes is a pain. I'm not trying to be a model, I just want my pants to stay in place. Tell us in spring how you endured it.
