Larry,
When I bought my wet suit a couple years ago I searched all over because most places do not carry them in "Big" sizes (Go Team Grey Seal or Let The Sarcasm Begin). There are many available online but all my Montauk friends told me not to buy if I did not at least try it on. I was looking for a suit with a lot more thickness than most guys here because I bought it for Skishing. I found a dive shop in Framingham that carry's a wide variety and they regularly carry the big sizes. I forget the name but if you search you will know it because they come up all over.

While you are at it you should look at a pair of "Force Fins"

Larry, you would definetly be mistaken for a seal, especially if you and Patrick ever go skishing.

Probably get jumped by some horny female gray seals.

Why even try.........

I've got a Mares Trilastic (or some crap like that)... VERY stretchy and comfortable, one piece. If your a big guy custom may be your only option.

I remember (This most likely won't be helpfull...) talking to a spearfishman one at WH. He had a custom suit made by a guy in italy (Yeah, that's right... ITALY). You sent him your measurements, he made a suit for you. It was around ~$150. He LOVED IT. Of couse that was 3 years ago and I have no other info that might help you locate the guy...
