The animals do not seem to like them much, but search and rescue cannot miss me.
Dang, I always wanted a car like that. Camo pants could serve as a close second.
If you hunt CO, you may want to enter a certain HT's contest........
I have a friend that gets his (and his young boys') Sitka and Kuiu stuff custom tailored by a friend of the families. Would never know the difference until he told me.

I have a buddy who is at the opposite end of the spectrum, not to mention my wife, who has the same problem finding quality clothes. First Lite, Kuiu, Sitka, Core4Element, list goes on... nobody makes a size small, let alone an x-small for my wife. I 6' 160lb and I feel like I swim in my first lite medium, there is no way my buddy who is 5'7' and 130lb. will fit into anything. I'm guessing that the margins are pretty tight for these companies and so they can't risk making sizes that won't sell well. I bet that they pick sizes that will fit the 25th-75th percentiles as those are the majority of their customers.
(Little correction first lite just started a women's line but only for base layers)

What pisses my wife off about women's camo is that she is 5'6" and 145 pounds and wears a 2X She camo jacket to be comfortable in. Talk about body shaming.
I'm 6'2"& around 185.
But I have real long arms,long torso and wide shoulders. Swimmers build.They called me "frogman" & Flaco when I was in ......nevermind42 yrs ago.
I have a hard time finding L tall . Some things are better XL ,coats and such.But sleeves can still be short and fit like a tent.
I also have 34" inseam & 33 waist.....no one makes that.
So I wind up with loose clothes which is OK for layering. Rather have baggy than tight.
M pants and XL shirt...lol. A bit baggy but very comfortable xcountry/hunting.
Cabellas has Micro-tex un-hemmed pants.Or did.
And large tall shirts. They actually fit real good on me.
I got 34W pants/unhemmed and hemmed them with pari-cord draw strings built in cuff area. Baggy.

I feel for you guys and hope you can find something that works. I am a fairly normal sized guy at 5'10" and 220 but I have large calf and leg muscles that make it hard for me to wear most underlayers. They tend to be a lot tighter than I like, and if I get a XL then they become lose and will slide off my non-existent behind. But hey, if that is all I have to worry about, I guess I'm lucky.

Try Day One Camo. They make all their garments one at a time so things are easy to get customized. When I ordered some stuff I talked with a live person that was able to suggest sizes based on my description of myself. The clothing was exactly as described and of good quality. It may be worth a call. Everything is pretty much customizable from fabric, pattern, and liners.

I think these boys just eat an Elk on the spot and carry the Antlers out. We have a Big and Tall store that just started selling Hunting Clothes. I have not been there yet so I cannot say what. I'll check to see if they have a Website. John

Look into propper brand for pants, They have a-tacs patterns, which are some of the best IMHO.

I'll give you ine thats tough. I'm short legged but long torso with a med heavy build. Without fail my pants look like parachute pants to fit my fat butt, and my shirts come untucked because of my long torso. Bibs would be the best alternative but I don't want to turn into my grandfather yet. Also, I second the gripe about womens clothing. My wife is tall but thin and has to chose between too tight on her hips or jackets that ride up and pants that fall down........on second thought I kinda like the fit of womens hunting clothing.
