I've been looking at getting a jacket style PFD for a while now, but
haven't been able to find one that fits properly. Being on the XL
side of the human genome (like 2XL size), I try to find safety gear
that is practical and comfortable for me - which, I'm here to tell you
is practically impossible. [1]
I looked at the Mustang series jackets, but their idea of 2XL needs a
little work - the 3XL isn't even available as far as I know.
As it happens, my wife is more than aware of my constant quest for
size comfort in clothes. She came across an article I missed
concerning Orca Gear Float Tech jacket. She called the company and
asked some questions. They in turn asked some questions and they came
to a consideration that the 3XL is probably what I needed. She
ordered it and I received it for Christmas.
What a great surprise!
It fit perfectly - it's long enough, full enough through the sleeves,
shoulders, the internal PFD is very comfortable and the jacket is
very good looking being a yellow/dark blue combination. Self or
manual inflating which is a bonus.
I'm very impressed.

[1] I'm not THAT big, but I'm an odd size - I'm almost 6'4", weigh in
at 240 at my heaviest (that varies by 30 pounds), but I have a 30'
inseam, long torso and arms and rather broad shoulders.
