I had a wetsuit custom made for my son at Horizon Wetsuits (www.horizonwetsuits.com) and I couldn't be more pleased with the service or the quality of the suit. My son wore his suit when he got certified at Monterey, CA and although the other boy his age and even some of the adults complained of being cold, my son said he was toasty warm.
When I measured him for the suit I delayed for about a month on placing the order and although the turnaround time was a matter of a few days my son had grown an inch!! and gained 5 lbs.+!!! No matter, the ladies at Horizon Wetsuits had made the suit with room for growth and all it needed was a minor alteration, which they did for free. They even made a second hood *gratis* because my son needed a larger size for comfort.
I like the style of the suit, farmer john with a sleeveless step-in, because unlike the suit I bought from Henderson's, his is a suit where each piece is practical to wear by itself. My Henderson step-in has long sleeves and stops at mid-thigh, and the piece under it has full legs but no sleeves! I can't see myself wearing either piece by itself.
If you are thinking of going custom, please check out their website!! These ladies are great!
