I don't know if Henderson does true custom work...I'd be inclined to doubt it. You could have a Henderson modified by a talented seamstress, perhaps, but there are special procedures for working with neoprene that she'd better know.
Most custom suit makers make the suits themselves from raw neoprene stock.
A good custom suit from a good custom shop won't cost much more (if at all) than a high end wetsuit from a major name (Henderson is an especially good comparison since they're pretty expensive... full custom suits would probably cost the same. they just wouldn't be Henderson suits, if all you care about is the name)
