I remember seeing a video of Parkway's wetsuit shop which showed how they constructed their suits. I saw it within the last 3-4 years.

Anyone know where to find it? It doesn't appear to be up on Youtube.
 
Dewit2it:

I worked @ Parkway in South Amboy, NJ and wrote the script for the video you mentioned.
The video was produced by a New York ad agency. The original Parkway employed skilled
folks and all work was done in house. Later the production was sent offshore to Taiwan.

I do not think you will find any copy on Youtube.

The original Parkway suits used high quality Rubatex neoprene and blind stitched and triple glued all seams. Good suits.
 
I did see it somewhere on the web, but I can't remember where. SDM also had an article I believe. (have to check my old issues)

I picked up two older Parkway suits (early-mid 80's) in the local thrift stores this year still in excellent condition. One was my former instructors! They were great suits.
