Boulder Creek Men's Big & Tall Fleece-Hooded Camo Shirt Jacket.

Boulder Creek has been making clothes for big men for a long time, and they are thankfully consistent with their sizing.  One of the biggest problems I have had with ordering clothing online is that a 6XL can mean wildly different things depending on what country and brand is producing it.

King Size sent me this Camo print hooded shirt jacket, and just from the brand I knew I wasn't going to need to worry about the fit.  As far as the shirt itself, it is warm without being too heavy, and the sleeves button securely but are thin enough to be able to roll them up if you need to.

If you are looking for something to keep you warm but not too hot while working outside that will wear well and fit the way you expect, this shirt will do the trick and keep you comfortable in Fat Boy Heaven.

A new service is on a mission- can they out-geek LootCrate?

A few months ago I was contacted by a new Kickstarter project with a simple concept: to be a better and geekier box-a-month service than LootCrate.  The project was successful, reaching their funding goal in less than a week, and GEEKFUEL was born.

I just received their first ever box, along with a Kickstarter exclusive bonus box, and so far their method seems to be at least partially focused on enlisting popular artists from the DeviantArt community to add exclusive artwork to the mix.  Add exclusive comic books, limited edition Pop vinyl figures, caffeinated beverages and access codes for games and downloadable content on Steam and I think they have a chance to give the veterans a run for their money.

Instead of listing the contents I figured the best way to describe this product would be to take pictures as I was unpacking the box.  So here we go.  I give you GEEKFUEL:  

All told a pretty impressive showing for a first issue.  Subscriptions are available monthly, quarterly, every 6 months, or annually with price breaks and bonuses at each increased level.  I've been a big fan of LootCrate for a long time but GEEKFUEL is definitely making a name for themselves in Fat Boy Heaven.

Review: Jerseys from Geeky Jerseys.com

A few months ago I came across a hockey jersey design by an artist named Dave Deslisle, and in looking at his website found that he had worked with the folks at Geeky Jerseys to bring some of his designs for hockey jerseys to market.  That led me to contact them about some of the other great designs they had currently and previously.  

They will typically offer a design for 2-4 weeks (until they reach a minimum number for production) and then it takes 4-6 weeks for production before they ship to buyers.  It seems like a long time in the internet age, but once you get your hands on one of these jerseys and see the quality that goes into custom making every patch and then sewing the entire jersey together you will understand the time it takes to make these jerseys appear on your doorstep.

I can tell you that this jersey is of a higher quality material and better stitching than the official NFL jerseys I have from Nike and Reebok.  Sizing is accurate and a little roomy, running about a half-size big.  While these jerseys are not cheap, you will not be sorry that you spent the $99 for this purchase.

I have a couple more on their way over the next week or so, so we'll see if all of their product has this same level of quality, but unless proven otherwise I strongly recommend the quality and workmanship of their product.

Tonight I recieved my second jersey from the folks at Geeky Jerseys, and am once again impressed with the quality of the construction this company puts into their product.  

One of things I love is that when they do a new design, they not only are changing the designs colors and making new patches, but everything changes, from the piece work of the sleeves to the collar.  Everything works together to make the design an extension of the franchise they are trying to emulate.
