Best very long sleeve neoprene shirt

I am looking for a long sleeve neoprene shirt, but don't have any real marine stores around me to try stuff on.

The problem being that I have long arms and am very tall at 6'9".

I don't want to buy a shirt and mess with returning something I bought over the internet, but it is about my only option here. Just looking for something as the water gets a little cooler, but don't want to hassle with putting on the full drysuit yet.

I can deal with my wrists showing, I am used to that, but really don't want my belly button hanging out...Anyone know of a good 1-2 mm neoprene shirt that would probably fit the bill? I am sure some manufacturers typically make things longer than their stated size.

I am thinking of something like this:

Got a JP F22 in L IIRC. I'm 6'3" but the sleeves and torso are nice and long. Maybe call an online shop and have them measure it for ya.

JFYI they are known as "heaters". Might make them easier to search.
