Are any custom wetsuit makers offering "skin-in" hyperstretch type materials?

Because I was endowed with non-Hollywood proportions, I'm interested in a custom suit made from a "super stretch" type material. However, the the shops I've found only offer Gold-Core type (treated, skin-in, but not very giving) or 2 sided super stretchy materials. I prefer something that is stretchy AND seals to the skin, rather than allowing water to slowly seep in and is slow to dry.

I know Henderson offers Titanium Hyperstretch suits, but their cost plus alteration is rediculous.

Am I on a fools errand?

Take a look at Aquaflite. They have a product called "Oceanliner Titanium" for their custom wetsuit line. I have 2 of their suits and I'm happy with them.
 
I didn't think Oceanliner was a true "superstretch" material; I was under the impression is was similar to Henderson's "Gold Core".
