Does anyone have the name of a good guy for working on dry suits?

I am looking to get a longer sock sewn onto my suit. I have large feet and when I put my foot into a bootie the end of the sock in crammed into my toes.

Thanks guys,

Call these guys.  They are in Issaquah, WA.  I've never dealt with them, but I seem to remember someone had their dry suit fixed by them.  You may also try the manufacturer of your dry suit.  They may offer an alterations service.

I'll have to second DN's suggestion. Couldn't find a better drysuit repair/alteration shop in Seattle. Quality work, people, and gear. BTW they rent drysuits too.

George and crew at KA are great. I didn't know they did in-house drysuit repair. Probably alot nicer than rainy pass too.

I had problems with my Kokatat lightweight paddling (new Goretex) suit, the feet leaked.  KA told me they would not touch it, I had to send it to the delaer I bought it from.  Just sayin'.....
