Tony,

Check out NRS at www.nrscatalog.com. They make a "grizzly" cut in their wet
suits. This is the only one other than custom made that I have found to fit
me. Their return policy is good too--my wife never seems to know what size
to order so she always orders a couple and returns the ones that don't fit.

All the usual disclaimers----I just buy a lot of gear from these people.
