Hi! Not knowing the size you are trying to find I assume you've done your research, and have already found that Trident Militaria have the Telogreika jacket for purchase up to a Metric size 64 (54"). If that is the case, I'm guessing you are looking for something larger? I've been searching for...wow, I guess years now, and still haven't found any Soviet uniforms in a size larger than that. [glow=red,2,300]Edit[/glow] There are the 'amoeba' oversuits available. Those get up to about a 70" waist. I have something like 8 of them, as it was the only RKKA shirt/pant items I could find that would fit me. I've also been searching in vain for a pattern book with the measurements to make my own uniform; no luck there either. The only thing I believe that is left to be done, if you cannot find something larger than what I mentioned, would be to; purchase a small size of the item, take it apart, create a pattern from it with the help of a tailor or seamstress, and then have them create the item in the size you need. That's the option I seem to be stuck with at this point. I wear a size 58" dress pant for work...so I can relate to the plus sized uniform hunt. P.S. Sorry my post isn't more helpful.
