Have you busted out the yammy yet Buddy?

Yeh.
It’s pretty good.
Not a perfect fit but does a solid job.
I’m picturing the guy it was made for as that classic Irish footy player build, strong and solid through the hips, wiry arms, small chest.

I’ve been wearing this through autumn, almost too warm but really flexible.

Rather than a Japanese guy. Do they make wetsuits with short legs over there?

You mean the suit was custom made for an Irish football player?
I was speculating about the cut of suits in Japan where the suits come from.

It was a custom for an Irish friend of Steve’s.
Correct.
Football part, I don’t know. Was just speculating his build.

I have a Volcom in the quiver.
gave it a good flogging last winter into spring and it's pretty worn now- felt like there was significant deterioration in the rubber by the end of last year.

Cheers, Buddy. Custom made wetsuits are a niche market.

Pulled the Isurus 2/2 out of dry storage today.
Such a superior wetsuit, even in it's 5th season.

They Haydenshapes designer yammie wetties look like they've come down in price since we had a laugh about them too.

Looks like a fashion item for hipster trash with fulsome trust funds.
