Give me your recommendations for a tall 3mm wetsuit.
I'm 193cm 100kg (6'4" 220lb) and some might say athletic.
I have tried mares, seacsub, cressi and have not found good suit. If the suit is long enough it's always too wide. Size 8 mares was probably not too wide but felt too short.
I have 5mm seacsub xxlt, but I don't think they make tall versions any more. Are there tall versions on other brands?

When I dive in really warm waters where I dive with just a rashguard or with a thin vest my feet sink and I would like to get 3mm suit for helping with this. I do have 5mm boots and Apeks RK fins but those doesn't help enough.
 
Is Henderson available for you? OTOH, I don't see how a layer of 3mm neoprene on your legs will have a significant impact on your trim. I think there's probably more going on.​
 
Henderson XL Tall should fit great
 
6"7" ~250 lbs. I use a Henderson when I need a full wetsuit.
 
I’m a similar build and found the Pinnacle Cruiser line to fit well. They are longer and not as wide as others. Their Venture suits are way shorter even though it’s the same size chart, shows that nothing beats trying them on!

I'm about your size and weight and recently bought a 3XL Henderson Thermaxx full wetsuit. It fits nicely, but Henderson makes a 2XLT (amongst other tall sizes), so if you can find any tall sizes at your LDS, you should give them a try. My 3XL is about a quarter to half inch short on the sleeves, but not enough to be a deal breaker. It seems like the Henderson thermaxx suits are a bit more stretchy as well, so again, how the 3XL fits on me wasn't a deal breaker (limited on options). Hope this helps.
 
I'll mirror the Bare recommendation. They make a short and tall version at each size point. You are looking at an XL Tall given your sizing. I'm similar weight, 2 inches shorter and dive the XL in the Reactive and really like it. Owned numerous 3mm suits in my life and by far this is my fav.
 
I'm 6-3, 225. XXL 3mm Henderson Thermaxx and XXL PROBE Mens iDRY quick dry SEMIDRY 3MM (looks like they don't make it in 3mm anymore - ask them if you're interested) - both fit me like a glove
