I don't have the large head problem, but have struggled for years to find decent overalls that don't castrate me if I try and stand upright

The biggest size they do (8+) fits me nicely but cost £45
I've got my own crash helmet for carting and the like.

.I've only ever come across 1 hat in a shop that fitted - XXL Drizabone.

I'd like to add belts to the trouser rant.
Over the last few years I've gone from a 32" to 34" to 36" waist (and one pair of 38" trousers which proves that sizes are crap). Now I've lost a little weight and some of my jeans and trousers hang off me a bit but they're still newish so obviously I need a belt to keep them up properly but most of my belts are old and size 34 so will only fasten on the last notch and only if I breathe in. so I ask the Mrs to get me a 38" belt (hopefully so there's a bit of slack). Gets home, puts it on and...it'll only fasten on the last notch and damn near cuts me in half! Grrr.

That's why they invented ladders, so the McStumpys of the world could clean their downstairs windows.
