I've also found that KOM runs a size small. I wear a 2X in everything else but in KOM I have to go 3X. I don't know about Sleeping Indian but I've had great service from Bernie Parsons, KOM Outfitter, out of PA who advertises in Tradtional Bowhunter magazine. Call Bernie for info. He is a straight shooter who is probably very knowledgable about Sleeping Indian products.

Update to this. After lots of research I am going to purchase the Gray Wolf. Now that the Canadian $$$ is on par with the US$, it makes this even more attractive. KOM would have been my second choice.

I bought KOM a long time ago.  Good stuff.  Has held up well, and my stuff (XL) runs true to size.  However, if I had it to do over again, I think I might go with Gray Wolf.  Autumnwood out of Pennsylvania also makes some good wool clothing.  That, in my experience, does run about one size larger than tagged.

I emailed Jeff at Gray Wolf and he was very prompt in getting back to me and patient with all my questions. Very level headed guy and he treated me well. I'll give an update once I get my clothing (jacket, pullover, and pants). I am pretty excited about my purchase and the coming hunting season.

SI has always treated me right. Hopefully this was an isolated incident.

Tom, Just call in your exact sizes to Ted and he automatically figures in for layering. He knows his wool. Thats why he designed most of KOM stuff before going to SI. Good luck.

I had similiar bad experiences with SI. When I finally got the vest I ordered, I was not impressed with quality vs cost. Stupidly, I tried to use it rather than send it back. It never fit right, and ended up hanging in a closet.

This past Christmas my wife bought me a Grey Wolf vest. Unbelievable quaility. I hold Filson up a s the gold standard in wool, and this Grey wolf vest surpasses that.
