Custom Waders?

Thinking about getting some custom waders and wondered if anyone has
any experience with them? My wide mind and narrow waist traded places
years ago. Finding breathable waders that fit my waist with a
reasonable shoe size has been a challenge. I fish the eastern Sierra
and it is likely to be 85 degrees on your back, standing in 50 degree
water.

Some offer "Stout" sizing but the inseams are too short.

Have been looking at the Gralite's.

Thanks-

Before you go that route, just make sure that one of the weird Simms sizes
isn't perfect-- there's something like 25 sizes. You'll pay, but you'll
pay for custom anyway.

Just as long as you don't get down to "Five foot two, eyes of
blue...."

Are you a millionaire??? Simms will take your measurements and sell you
a truely customized pair of wader for about $800. If you are more
budget conscious try Bare for about $400.

IF you really want to see eXpensive ask simms to make you a pair of
waders given your measurements. It is not listed on their web site
(custom stocking foot sizes are listed) but they will do this. Think it
is around $1000. In my previous post I said $800 but that was guide
price.
