BigBallBellyGirl:
I'm currently in the process of finding my true size and restocking my wardrobe for winter. I'm at my highest weight ever (420 - 430). I actively gained for much of this year, and though I'm not doing so now, I'm 135-145 pounds heavier than I was last Thanksgiving, and 50-60 pounds heavier than my previous highest weight. I struggle with clothes a LOT because I'm VERY big around the midsection. I'm having to stick with some warm basics from custom retailers. I can't find a winter coat though, and it does get chilly in Pennsylvania. Open to recommendations from fellow supersized folks.

I'm not supersized, but have you tried the plus-sized maternity section? You don't have to be pregnant to wear them, and most people won't know you're wearing maternity clothes.
BigBallBellyGirl:
This was the route I ended up taking! I found a custom retailer and ordered a heavy fleecelined maternity jacket in 6XL I also got a couple of heavy ponchos. Fortunately, I don't feel super cold most of the time, so where some people might need a parka, I'll probably do fine with the jacket!
That's pretty cool! Happy for you.
I'd still get something wintery. Last year it got to below 0 (-20 ish with wind chill). On the off chance something happens, it's good to be prepared.
