If all else fails, you could also ask the NEX Uniform branch. I know the main building in Cheasapeake, VA has a large thrift section. I would call the 800 number and see if they can point you in the right direction.

How about NSCS Athens? They should have a Thrift Store and are within a
couple of hours of you. You might have to find stars to replace the
porkchops you pry off the sleeves, though.

Heh. New is exactly what I'm trying to avoid, bein' retired, cheap and
all. :-)

Maybe (in addition to the Gosport) I need to check the classifieds around
D.C., where some senior guys retire. Better chance of finding my size.

Hey, thanks to all for some excellent suggestions.
