Anyone want to make a recommendation specific to Tall Bill: 6'6", 235 lbs.
Inseam 36" crotch to floor, actual chest and gut 44". (Hmmm...so why do 36" waist jeans fit? Ha! I think I know!)

For tall people! Henderson offers a semi-custom (add length to legs and arms, not to the torso):
Size Chart | Special Fit Information
The Henderson thing sounds perfect to me. Every single piece of clothing I own has sleeves and / or legs that are too short. O, happy day!
I thought about custom, but as this is my first wetsuit, and only 3mm, I don't want to take the plunge --- ooooops, sorry!

I feel your pain. 25 years ago I had to do a custom just to do my open waters (spring time with water temps a balmy 42 on the surface). Years later, a custom dry suit, and recently a new wet suit. Sucks big time when others just walk into a store and get some deal off the rack. A quality suit will last a good time if cared for properly, likely better than a mass produced one, and a proper fit makes the diving experience so much more enjoyable.
Your other choice is to just dive in the really warm tropics. That can get really expensive....

6'3 210 myself and oddly enough the bare (ATR-HD) large was one of the nicest fitting suits I've ever had. I should point out I was around 190lbs when it fit like a glove with winter thermals but I did have to scrunch a bit to get the neck seal over my head, but once it was on it felt like a custom cut. Now I'm a little fatter and my new Bare is a large-tall and fits great.
