I got a made to measure suit & it seems perfect. I did made all measurements 3x over several days at different temperatures (to reduce errors -- eliminating bad ones & averaging close ones). I was particularly careful with the neck measurement for several reasons:
1. A diving instructor pal warned me that a tight neck can trigger some kind of undesirable body response (drowning/choking?).
2. My neck is quite large & I have noticed the size varies from hot to cold days.
3. I have quite a lot of muscle at the base of my neck but opted to measure at the peak of the Adam's apple & rounded up the average measurements (might have added 1cm? -- I don't think so).
Be careful measuring across the shoulders -- use the on-line video not the chart (for me there was a 5-7cm difference with the 2 methods!).
They are great suits. Let us know how you get on.
