Aside from eating some cheeseburgers, look for the manufactures that offer "Tall" and "Short" sizes. For example the Henderson Thermoprene line. Something like a "Small - Tall" or "Medium - Tall" should work well.

Consider custom. I looked at Bare, Pinnacle, and Henderson, and they don't have anything off the shelf that will fit your dimensions. Price is not much more expensive. Search the discussions for more specifics about custom wetsuits.

Thanks for your advice
I had thought about getting one custom but I am not sure the best way to do that.

Anyone know who makes customs suits and how much they cost?

My Pinnacle is awesome, you should check them out. And as said above, their Med-Tall might fit the bill.

You can also try the new Xcel suits. They have a new style out that is called the Vortex. Got one for my daughter in a 5-4-3 elastroprene (think thats what they call it) as her custom built was getting to small (short, she went from 5'8" to 5'11") and she loves it. It also comes in 7-6-5. Check them out at XCEL WETSUITS || OFFICIAL SITE (site also has dealer locator)

If you are looking for low price, I have a used Fathom farmer john 1/4 inch that should fit you. Are you anywhere near S.E. Michigan?

Take a look at the Bare Elastek 7mm. I just got it this summer. The material is very strechy and comfortable.
