So you want a fursuit... Now what?? 🔹 Everything you need to know! [The Bottle Ep80]

[@wolfumus]

I wanted to add a quick note for anyone who wants to make their own suit. First of all, please, please, please do a ton of research first! Your final product will turn out so much better if you have a good idea of what you’re doing before you start. Secondly, take your time! When you take the time to consider flaws, what you could do better, what you like and what you don’t like, and all that jazz, you will have a result that you are so much more likely to love! I hope this helps any of you future makers!

[@pip-tizzle8597]

Ugh wish I would have saw this earlier! Thank you so much for giving young makers help.

[@bearboi6583]

I'm thinking of making my own Fursuit head, hand paws, and tail. how many yards of furr will I need??

[@dragonlova7005]

Bear Boi that depends on markings, tail length, your height, etc. My suits I typically buy a yard of fur for each color from Joanns (they fold the fabric over itself, so it’s more like 2 yards) and that covers it perfectly. And I’ll even have spare fur. So I’d recommend a yard? But make sure you have a bit leftover Incase you mess up :) I messed up and had to redo half of my pattern

[@23455Bill]

Another tip: SHAVE THE FUR!

[@thistle_flowers5018]

For practice, can I just start with things like tails and maybe ears on a headband?

That's how I found my maker. She's local and unknown, but her quality is amazing. And finding such unknown suitmakers always helps them as well. And a little side effect you benefit from if you don't have the biggest money, unknown makers can't go too high with their prices. Otherwise they'd quickly have to quit. And trust me! It's definetly worth a try! Unknown makers can be hidden gems

[@ReccaWolf]

Have a huge question about fursuit heads: Is there any way to possibly how to give information on your vision visibility and head comfort if you find someone online - use of eye spacing, size of head, nose posture, etc. I’m kinda worried that if you buy your first fursuit head, it might be a waste of money if the size or eyes are not spaced or sized correctly.

[@xx_d0ra3m0n_xx]

ReccaWolf same

[@banjohusky]

A lot of times if you can give the artist/ maker your heads measurements including where your eyes are, diameter, width between, etc etc etc, they can give you a decent idea of how well it will fit or not😁. Im making kine using a head base (Runaway workshop on etsy) and couldnt find a styrofoam head (head base) to build mine on. I relied solely on measurements and its came out fitting well so far!

[@LiSkyFox]

You can use glasses for reference?

[@tashkiira7838]

@@LiSkyFox Many fursuit heads are spacious enough for glasses to be worn under the head. But you have to be pretty specific about that--the maker needs to know ahead of time if you're commissioning a suit.

[@hikaru9624]

Gonna throw this out here: it's a good idea to *not* buy a fursuit from sites like Alibaba. It's cheap but it's likely to be rubbish and a stolen character. Ebay is a little better but do be careful as fakes and stolen characters are sold there too. Ebay is alright for buying parts from what I've seen.

[@aspenpawarts9333]

Hikaru WDM I mean... wdym stolen characters? Fake stuff and scams yeah, but stolen characters? If it’s a good fursuit and I like the design then imma get it if it’s cheap. Especially if sense your getting one your not going with your character. Nobody cares about that.

[@hikaru9624]

@@aspenpawarts9333 that's completely beside the point! Those characters belong to someone and it's theft of their IP.

I do have a fursuit already. But I love watching your videos. Also I know you have started suiting way before I started and it’s true that you need to pay for postage and import if you get your fursuits internationally. Good thing I made Bruzo with help from non furry friends but the resin base that came to me as a kit I got from the US. And the other thing that if you especially are getting a fursuit from international makers is you need to find out how much your country’s currency worth compared to the currency your maker is charging. Sorry for the long comment.

Excellent Advice as well as videos! I'm on the market for a fursuit however, I'm not sure which suit maker to go with. I'm looking at More Fur Less, Made Fur You, & Lemon Brat. I'm leaning towards Lemon Brat because I'm from southern Illinois and Lemon Brat is based in Northern Illinois as well so, I'm assuming the shipping would cost less money. The good news is I have more than enough saved up to purchase a full fursuit. The bad news is said money will be going into purchasing a truck. If I have enough left over after the truck purchase, I plan on purchasing a full fursuit. I also plan on purchasing a Protogen partial in the future as well.

hi! For anyone scrolling for recommended fursuit makers, check out Kit's Cove! They have a small gallery of suits they've made. They are kinda new.

[@roimu8537]

"Wearing a fursuit though can be easier said than done." As a kemono fursuiter I know that fact all too well. Things like very limited ventilation(very small mouths) make the suit heat up quicker, eyes that fog up and can really hinder vision(there's ways to combat this but it depends on what the eyes are made of, some don't allow for it at all.) make something that's already a bit difficult to wear that much harder to do so.

[@You-ip8dn]

Its true, making your own is really cheap! Well..... relatively lol. I paid maybe 500 ish USD to make my own full suit, worth about 2000. But it was a LOT of work. And took a LOT of time.

I wanna make a fursuit really bad. I already have two fursonas.

I have plenty but none of them is close to my heart enough to be made into suit. And even when I feel like Yeah, this one is going to be great! ... after a while I'm like Nah or But that's also hard to do and I'm a noob!
