Need Help - swim suit for big guys

I'm looking for a "jammer" type suit but can only find them up to around a size 40. Which for a guy my size basically fits around my thigh. I'm a long distance swimmer and have been using "swim trunks" for years but lets be honest I might as well be wearing a parachute. I'm definately not interested in swim "briefs" - trust me NOBODY's interested in seeing that! I suspect I'm probably looking for someone that makes custom suits, if I can't find that, then I'd be interested in knowing where to find lycra material and have a local tailor try to make one. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Have you tried regular compression shorts? I think making a suit from lycra is going to be costly and will the tailor make them well enough? If you can et briefs that fit. use them. Wear a pair of regualr shorts until you geet to the pools edge if you feel awkward. If you're a heavy guy, most (mature) folks will see you're at least working out, and respect that.
