[Paddlewise] Oversized wet suits

I know I'm supposed to be the "big guy" expert, but I'm stumped on this one:

Does anyone have any idea where it's possible to get a wet suit made in
Malden Mills "fuzzy rubber" in plus sizes -- like, say, 2x or 3x?  Or for
that matter, maybe a 2 or 3 mil neoprene in those sizes? I know that NRS
has a "Grizzly" farmer john in those sizes, but it fits neither my form nor
the function that I want it for. 

There doesn't seem to be any other lightweight wet suit available at a
reasonable price in the paddlesports area -- but I'm wondering if perhaps
in other watersports areas, such as diving, windsurfing, or even (shudder!)
jetskiing might have something that would do the job. Anyone got any ideas?

While I'm on the subject, a doofus question: why are most wet suits black?
The visibility is lousy -- and the black is hot, especially in the sun.
