Drysuit alteration advice

[Jasper]

I thought I got a great deal on a trilam drysuit on e-bay and it is plenty large enough everywhere but the circumference of the forearms. The wrist to wrist seems good but I can't get my forearms far enough into the sleeves to fit much thickness of underwear.

So it seems I need material inserted into the arms. Anyone else deal with this? Any advice on a shop or cost?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys. And for refraining from "cut back on spinach" cracks!

I have had work done by both gentlemen.

Both can/will do excellent work. That said,
Steve Gamble will most like be 30%+ lower in cost and most likely a lot a quicker.

I just recently had alterations done on my neoprene drysuit. I used Superior Diving Repair - www.drysuitrepair.com/
Mark does the work and is available to discuss the alterations. His wife Julie tends to be the person handling the emails and phone correspondence. I wanted the torso taken in a bit in my Bare suit. I had asked the factory to do it but they declined. I'm really happy with the new seams and the suit fits exactly as I had asked it to be. The cost was less than I was quoted over the phone and the return shippings was less than half what I had expected it to be. I will definitely use them for my next repair / alteration.
