Benik makes them, you can order them from Flaghouse (catalog) or the
like. I prefer to make my own (or have the family sew it, after I draw out
the pattern) from a fabric called NuStim Wrap, produced (order from)
Whiteland Technology in Exton, PA USA: It is cheaper ($15/yd) and more easy
to customize/allow room for growth by using velcro for closures. I love
the stuff, and add tape and straps to reinforce postures (such as increase
thoracic extension or use McConnel style shoulder or gluteus medius taping
for desired effects).
