A note in advanced: I only use good quality fur, not the cheap stuff you can find at most local fabric stores (they sometimes have good stuff, but rarely) And this limits some color options, ask if I can do your colors first. I want my suits I make to last a long time, so if I can't get your colors and can't do your suit, it's not you, I just wouldn't feel comfortable making something that I don't feel is a quality piece of work to me.
ALL markings on my suits will be sewn in. I HATE how airbrushed markings look, as well as their deterioration and boldness getting degraded over time.
Heads are all spandex lined for comfort. I can do two styles of fursuit heads, the regular foam version, which produces a large head (Not huge) but it's going to be about 2-5 inches wider on each side of your actual head. Or a slimline head, built so that the cheeks and muzzle front area will be the only thing padded out extensively. The slimline heads are "space savers, and can easily have the back of the head folded in and ears tucked down to reduce space without any harm to the head at all.
Feetpaws use EVA foam for durability to walk outside. My meerkat has been around for a few years and worn all over with minimal wear on the feetpaw foam. Feetpaws use plush slippers instead of shoes.
Furred feetpaws can be made with 'sandals' to go with them for an exta 75$ This option would go best with a plush type feetpaw, or a smaller "sock paw" as they have become to be known today.
Any suit that doesn't come with the standard spandex option, spandex lining can be added for an additional 150$
All suit prices have the continental United States shipping costs built into them. Shipping outside the United States will have an extra cost onto them, be aware ofthis.
Heads are the most complex part, the labor time put into them extensive, which is why the partials are so high. Everyone who has worn them says they are excellent and comfortable. I've tried on other suit maker's heads, and some are quite uncomfortable, ect...
Want something that is not listed? I may be able to make it at no extra charge, ASK! ********************** Full Suits:
Simple suits 1,100$ shipped
Simple suits are comprised of two colors with markings. I/E A fox, meerkat or wolf. These suits are made with head, handpaws and feetpaws separate from the suit. The tail can be made separate with a belt, or attached to a suit. **********************
Complex suits 1,500$ shipped
Complex suits are composed of complex designs and or heavy padding. A crux or a multi colored suit with varying fur lengths. A digigrade suit falls under this option, style of suit despite of colors or markings is considered a complex suit. **********************
Plush suits 1,700 to 2,000$ shipped
Plush suits are padded all over, completely spandex lined and everything is all attached. These suits are like slipping on a plushie, making your hands completely useless and require help getting off and on, this suit WILL require help. Simple plushie suits are 1,700, Fox, meerkat, wolf. Complex plushie suits are 2,000, Tiger, zebra, things with complex markings. **********************
Spandex or velour suits 900$ shipped
Suits made from spandex or velour. These suits will have a spandex lining and the outer layer of spandex of velour. This increases durability as well as a shield, as some spandex and velour is a small bit transparent. Hands and feet will be attached, and skin tight with no paw shaped padding. They can be added for an additional charge, but may not 'fit' the suits overall slim design.
Bathroom zippers are not recommended, as they will be obvious. **********************
Partial suits:
These start at 600$ up to 800$ depending on what it is. Foxes, meerkats, ect will be 600$ Crux and tigers, ect will be 800$ These are feetpaw, arm length handpaws, tail on belt loops and a head. **********************
Options!
I have several options for other things I can do with/for your suit.
Zippers: A front or rear entry zipper (front or rear at request) Bathroom zippers can be added at an additional 10$ Or a 'Half moon' zipper that goes from front to rear with two slides can be added for 30$ These are not cheap zippers and will not pull apart like the other suit maker's zippers I've seen.
Straitjackets: 160$ to 200$ They can be made for you (Without a suit) Or made to go over your fursuit. The suit jackets are a bit bigger and will fit a suitless body, but will be loose.
These jackets are not made from horrible materials. They are made from strong denim and strong cotton webbing. My straitjacket build parallels the 'Posey' jackets almost exactly. 4 rear straps with friction metal buckles for all the straps. A front arm loop, two side loops and a crotch loop.
Straps can be added for 20$ a strap. Custom colors or designs within the denim range can be added. Depending on their size, and placement, there may not be a charge for them.
Muzzles: 70$?
If you are getting a suit made, I can make a muzzle for it. The muzzle design can vary upon request, and will be denim/nylon as leather will stain the fur. Vented/mesh areas can be added onto 'closed' type muzzles, but with any muzzle made for a fursuit head, breathing will be restricted alot, even if it is an open design.
Muzzles can be made for a head I have not designed, and if you want one for a different head i do not have on site, can be arranged. But shipping costs will be on you both ways. Be warned! with the muzzles, they tend to close the muzzle up, and regardless of vents or holes in them, it makes breathing restricted, and usually pulls it through the eyes. It will get stuffy in the head and deplete oxygen levels greatly. It's recommended to fit a breathing tube, or snorkel of such types to get fresh air.
Hoods: 30$?
Same with the muzzles, you you want a hood, its best to get it with the suit as well when odrdering. It wil me made of a lightweight spandex to slip over your head with a tight fitting look. Ear holes/eye holes can be added, or it can be made to look in any style you may want.
**********************
Legal BS: (my condom to protect me from stupidity....)
[Section 1] (Suit payment, shipping and contact) All suits require a 50% down-payment that is non-refundable. The reason for non-refundability is that I will order fur and supplies which cannot be sent back for a refund. Once the down-payment is received, I can make design pictures, fur pattern pictures, anything related to suit design.
I expect to have you added to my messenger list so that i can contact you for questions, and the reverse. From payment to suit arrival, the commissioner will have my full attention when i am online untill the suit arrives.
Untill full payment is received for the suit, it will not ship. I can keep it in a box and a bag untill payment is finalized. This will delay arrival time if not received in a timely manner.
Construction time, based on complexity is about four weeks or less for each suit. Multiple suits and parts will require more time. For all intent and purposes, expect 2 weeks for shipping time.
All suits sent out will be insured for the maximum cost allowable, up to the full value of the suit. Be aware of this, as other countries or states may charge a VAT tax and other various things to rape you of your money. It will be shipped as a costume made of synthetic fibers, and may be subject to searches or other stuff that the customs may see 'fit' to imbue on the package.
Suits can be shipped at lower than actual value (insurance), but the commissioner will assume ALL liability and responsibility for the package as soon as it hits the shipping office, and i have left their premises. To be clear, if you want to avoid VAT and other stupid stuff, and the package gets lost or destroyed while un-insured, my liability is at 0% to replace anything that was lost or damaged.
[Section 2] (Materials, Prices and Sizing) Any of the suits prices listed here and commissioned off those prices listed here enters the Commissioner (you) and the builder (me) into a contract that states that the suit will be constructed and finished within a time frame negotiated and shipped out at an undetermined arrival time, provided that weather, shipping/availability of materials is not impeded in any way.
Any suits made below the listed prices above are not subject to the time frames listed on this body of text. These suits are engaged at a personal or 'friend' level. These suits may be worked on during another commission, or alone by themselves without another commission at the time of construction. These suits will be completed at a time spoken with the commissioner. As the commissioner may not be paying for labor time, or paying to fit a time constraint.
Suits will be made from customer measurements, and will be at those measurements, more than requested at customer request. The suit will fit the supplied measurements as provided by the commissioner. Any miss measurements from the customer as too large or too small than expected will be the fault of the commissioner if the suit does not fit them.
[Section 3] (Suit warranty, repairs, care and breakage) Suit Warranty:
My suits are built to withstand alot of torture due to the fabric quality, thread quality and construction quality. At this time, I do not see it necessary to offer a warranty if the suit is used within acceptable physical limits.
Suit measurements are a big effect on limits. The tighter the suit is around the body, the less movement it may allow. Less movement means a limited range of motion, going beyond this range will put stress on specific spots on the suit and may cause breakage. It is your responsibility to determine what your new range of motion is and to stay within those limits.
Physical Acceptable limits: The suit will be designed to fit the commissioner, and no one else. Though the suit WILL fit other persons, larger or smaller, it is not recommended to have them wear it, as the commissioner cannot be responsible for others actions in the suit that may cause damage.
Walking, running, jumping, sitting and standing. Are all normal physical limits expected to be placed on the suit. Dancing to the extent that the suit is not forced to to splits, or other flesh extenuating poses that the suit fabric cannot withstand are not to be exercised, or exercised at commissioner's discretion.
Repairs: As with any garment or object that exists in the world, it will break down and wear out. Minor occournaces of these items is up to the commissioner to handle. For example, paw pads falling off or becoming unstitched, eyebrow popping off or coming unglued, small holes in the fabric through stitches failing, tongue coming out. All of these examples are considered normal wear and up to the commissioner to fix.
If the suit should develop a tear itself in the fabric, away from a seam, it can be sent back for repair at the builder's cost for materials, but shipping falls upon the commissioner. If the suit sent back has a clear indication of being cut by a sharp object, and a panel replacement is required, the commissioner is liable for materials and labor to replace the panel.
Suit care: All suit care and cleaning is to be at the commissioner's discretion. The suit should be cleaned in cold water, and air dried for washing. Any foam filled objects on the suit should be squeezed out before being hung to dry. The suit is to be placed over a grate, open bottom shelving or vertically along the center seam as to avoid the water weight from putting stress on the fabric and seams at the shoulder. Care is to be taken around the head and eyes, as any harsh washing should be avoided to keep them attached. Further care can be 'googled' and applied, but use caution, as the methods for other suit cleaning/care maynot work with your suit.
The suit is made up of stitching and hot glue to hold various parts of the entire suit. The hot glue will stay together under normal wear and heat conditions. Excessive heat will destroy the glue cohesion. This may happen through, leaving it in a vehicle or box exposed in sunlight, heat radiators or other sources of abnormal heat. Any other part of the suit applies to the heat avoidance rule, as the synthetic fibers may become damaged. The same rule applies to excessive cold temperatures, as the hot glue can freeze and crack, possible causing problems with it's cohesion.
Care should be taken when using liquids around the suit. Liquids of any other nature than processed water, which include lubricants, polishes, drinks, bodily fluids, rain, sewage, pools, ponds, mucus, and blood should not come in contact with the suit to avoid dying the fabric from it's intended color.
[Section 4]
(Advisories) The suit can trap heat and absorb sweat. Be aware of your temperature and surrounding area. Avoid excessive sources of heat, IE the sun, hot tubs, heated rooms above 70 degrees fereinheight and unventilated areas with little air movement, or room to move in. Keep hydrated with water, and not relying on artificial methods as gatorade.
Alcohol consumption in suit is not recommended as it impairs judgement which may damage the suit or yourself.
[Section 5]
(Addendum and last notes)
Care should always be taken with your suit. Avoid situations where the suit could take damage from any source, firearms, sharp objects, slippery floors, the Death Star ect.
The suit should be treated like the piece of art that it is to ensure long suit life and keep damage and wear at a minimal.
Common expected suit life is about 5 years being extremely careful, and as low as 1 year with excessive suit wear and using it in an extremely volatile, abusive fashion.
