Do you have a URL for that Foxfish? Would I be correct in believing you chaps in the Channel Islands don't get mugged by the British Chancellor for 20% VAT?
A few suggestions when getting measured for a made to measure spearo suit:
1. Take every measurement at least 3 times - discard any way off measurements, then take the average. [Spreadsheets are good for this.]
2. Measure both right & left sides (e.g. my right calf is a full inch further round than the left).
3. Take measurements on different days, at different times, temperatures, etc. - it can make a difference. You'll probably dive in a range of conditions. I've been very hot in my wetsuit (esp. when new, even in November) and quite cold (in early Spring, now that it is getting quite old).
4. If buying from Eliossub.it follow their video instructions precisely, don't second guess them.
5. That said, consider adding a little extra space around the throat. This was a tip from a dive instructor friend, apparently there is an involuntary breathing reflex that can be triggered if it is too tight. I've never regretted adding a 1+cm to my measurement, if anything I might have added a bit more.
