this year i'd like to get a good looking suit. seeing as i have know idea what i should get please post ideas on jackets and pants that look nice and are good quality. i don't like camo or anything extremely bright but everything else i'm open to.  i'm just checking to see what there is so price is not an issue as of the moment.  i've checked oakley stuff but not too impressed and i don't know what there is out there. i don't know too many companies that make good outerwear because before this year i would just use jeans and a hoodie.  if you could post pictures or just point me to the right direction towards some nice looking suits i'd greatly appreciate it or if anyone is selling a suit in xxl i'm interested. thank you.

Directions:
Go around town one day going to all the SNOWBOARDING AND SKIING shops.
If you see something you like pick it up since you said price isn't a matter.
If you don't pick anything up, keep an eye out here. There is always some dope outerwear for sale on this site.

They're the Annex Technical Shell pant... they also have an insulated version with a removable liner. the-house.com had them for super cheap, but they pretty much sold out of all the large sizes and colors.

Yeah man, if you're not after anything bright and similar colur to the SB pictorial, i would definitely check out Orages new stuff, though you have to pay a lot to get good waterproofing/breatability and taped seams and stuff.
Holdens stuff is looking particularly sweet this year, some nice earth tones and stuff. Not sure on the quality though.
Some of Oakleys stuff (some not on their site) it really nice, some sweet darker colours in there, i'd really suggest checking a catologue.
Apart from that, i think 2up said it, go to the shops and pick out what looks good, fits good and performs good.
