With my upcoming purchase of a drysuit, my 7 mil farmer-john will be retired. I don't want to get rid of it (yet), since if I need to send the drysuit in for repairs during the dive season, then I can pull my custom altered 7 mil out of retirement.

I live in an apartment which will impact the storage method, but any suggestion is welcome.
 
Hey I know... get a mannequin to hang your wetsuite on.

Seriously, maybe just hang it on a wetsuit hangers.

I used to have mine hanging in the walk in closed with my 'normal' clothes. Then one day someone asked me what the smell on my clothes was.. I hadn't noticed but after they mentioned it I did. Anything hanging close to the wetsuit smelled like neoprene. I didn't mind, but others did. So now it's hanging in the spare room closet.

So now when I ask you "how's it hanging?" you'll know what I'm talking about, right?
