A lot of those are crew suits, so it's possible - sizes are listed. Some of the jackmen are ex-NFL, FWIW. I'll be posting up some otherr sources.
I'm in negotiations with Charlie Geary for my old suit, which is pretty big (2 xl-tall)

My current suit is an IRL crew suit. Nice Momo one. Got it as a nice thank you from my brother in laws team for helping them out one race. I assure you there are plenty of "Plus" size crew suits available. I had to grab one of their smallest ones and I'm not exactly skinny.

My suit is a former IRL suit as well lol
