Isn't "natural" polyester an oxymoron?  Also, what color is "unnatural"
polyester?

And, rather than asking them what color "natural" polyester is, I thought   it
would be more educational --- and possibly more amusing --- to ask
PaddleWise!

Yup, "natural" polyester is an oxymoronic use of the language.

Survey says --- "natural" Polartec socks are "cream" color.  So 
sayeth the God-fearing folks at Sierra Trading Post.  (I like the list's 
answers much better, and Sierra's out of all size large, should 
anyone's interest have been raised.)

They seem to be out of just about everything one calls about :-(.

    They probably never had those sizes in the first place.  Sierra Trading
Post is a remaindering operation.  They buy out unsold lots from stores and
manufacturers and sometimes military surplus.  Then they sell it at a
substantial discount.  Since the normal sized stuff probably did sell at
least some, we normal types are disenfranchised..............
A lot of times when their catalog lists the sizes available, many are not
there at all.
