My wet suit is alittle too small, and I heard of a place called M & B Wetsuits that is near my house and they do alterations to wetsuits. I was wondering if it was possible to make my wetsuit longer than it is. I am 6'3 and I wear a body glove 3x3 7mm wet suit and the height of it is only supposed to fit someone 5'10, the wetsuit still fits good but there is room for improvement I really don't have the money to go out and purchase another wet suit but I can if I have to. Any information on my situation will be very helpful.


Thanks

You'd have to ask and see.

Is the torso length OK? This would be like between your crotch and shoulders including a nice fit up in your armpits. If this is not good then it's probably hopeless.

Lengthening legs and sleeves may be done though it won't be too pretty. Kneepads and elbow features may end up off location but no worse than now.

Be sure to clearly understand all costs before ordering the work.

OOOHHH...alterations in general are pricey these days. You might be better off to order a new one. I'd check the prices out first...then again, I am all about a bargain...I'm cheap I guess...
