Whatever happened to Polar Bear's Sewing Patterns?

Hi;

It would appear that Polarbear's patterns are no longer on the net.. All of the website's pages seem to come up as 404 or 403 non-existant or "forbidden". I hope that nothing has happened to Polarbear, he was a nice person.

Good luck finding large men's patterns... It is a real problem... You can try to find a copy of Simplicity 9477 Large Men's l/s shirt,s/s shirt, pants, & walking shorts (up to size 6x) (This pattern is discontinued, which is a real shame.)

Here are a couple of Hawaiian "Luau" shirt patterns in sizes up to 4x, which work up nicely: (numbers 210 & 220)

can also be used to make s/s "dress" shirts using "view b" ...(These patterns are presently available) Simplicity 4585 is a presently available men's zoot suit pattern in sizes up to 52 (2x).

Simplicity 4758 is a presently available men's boxer shorts pattern in sizes up to 5x.

Simplicity 4975 is a presently available l/s shirt, vest, and "western" shirt in sizes up to 5x.

Presently available, Simplicity 9469 is similar to the discontinued

9477, except it is available in sizes to 52 (2x) only.

McCalls has a **few** large mens patterns up to size 3x in the unisex/men/uniforms section of their present catalogue.

M4529, M4530, M4399, M2477, M8524 are all available up to 3x) Here are 3 sweater patterns in sizes to mens 5x to knit:

red design is available to mens 6x).. hope this helps...

If it's any consolation, he didn't have *that* many patterns. A brief pattern, a dress shirt pattern, a Speedo-type swimsuit pattern, some sweatpants, I think, and a casual shirt, and I think that was it.

You can always put in his URL at

and see if there are any pages archived from his site that might give you contact information.

Wow, cool site, thanks!
