All NASA space suits are custom made for every astronaut and every mission; they are HIDEOUSLY expensive, in the millions of dollars. If we went into the business of making commercial spacesuits (which we will need to do within the next few years) we could probably get the cost down to $25K or so. Not cheap by any means, but affordable. We would need at least "Small", "Medium" and "Large" sizes, and perhaps a "Tall" model as well.

By the time Bigelow Aerospace starts running their orbital hotel (with round-trip scheduled service via Virgin Galactic Spaceways), we'll need to have a supply of tourist-class spacesuits which can't be exceptionally expensive.
