Wear Satisfaction
How satisfying this piece is to wear with regard to comfort, fit, material quality, etc.
The head is very form-fitting. It’s pretty snug, but I am able to wear it with glasses regardless. I like how snug it is because it feels like the movements I make in the head (even the slightest movements) are easy to read. The ventilation is very good, I have asthma and have not had any issues breathing in the suit. The vision is very good as well. I have been able to wear the head for two hours straight, with no discomfort. Even though it is snug, it does not hurt to wear.
Appearance Satisfaction

I could not have asked for a better head. Splinterfox captured Cleon’s personality and design perfectly with their creation. the markings are stunning and Sirus went the extra mile to find the perfect furs to use that matched my reference exactly. Every little detail that was put into this head is impeccable and overall lends to making this suit one of the best suits I’ve ever had the pleasure to wear or own. I’m still stunned over how incredible the suit head is.
Hands and FeetGives information about the hands and/or feet of the costume.

The hands are very poof-y and it makes them so much fun to wear. The entirety of the inside is lined, which adds to comfort. The paws stay perfectly on my hands as well- there’s no slipping down the arm. They are also fairly dexterous despite being so big! I am able to wear them without even noticing they are there. There have been 0 holes despite me wearing them so often as well.

The paws area adorable. The maker was kind enough to make little cat claw slits for me that I requested, and it adds to the overall cat-like appearance of the entire suit. I could not be happier!
TailsGives information about any tails the costume may have.
Wear Satisfaction

The tail fits very well in a belt, and it does not slide at all. It is comfy to wear, and I hardly notice that it is there. Its very durable, I’m able to swing my hips to make it move and I have not had any tears or seams pop. Overall, its a very sturdy tail!

The tail looks perfect, it matches the reference sheet exactly. The shading is very nice and gives the appearance of a bit fluffier at the end, following the reference sheet. All the furs used are very high quality and still feel so soft to touch.

How well does everything fit together and match up?
Overall, this is my favourite fursuit that I own. It has held up incredibly well, and I have worn it to almost every suiting event I’ve gone to since I received it. Everything fits very well and I have not had any issues with parts sliding or falling off. No seams have popped and there are no holes whatsoever. The shaving is very nice and markings are bold and bright. The suit is incredibly pleasing to look at and captures the entire essence of the character.
Overall Project Quality
I am extremely satisfied with this product. I could not be happier.
Purchase Process
Details the interactions between the customer/reviewer and the maker of the item with regard to the buying process.
Initial Contact
Sirus is incredibly easy to contact and incredibly responsive. It’s best to contact her on Telegram, though she does answer twitter just as frequently.
Maker Response Time
The maker will respond to all messages within a day or two, so they had incredible response time.
Maker Professionalism
The maker is incredibly kind and sweet, and you can tell that she is doing something she loves. Her professionalism comes across as caring and passionate, and it makes you just as excited for all of her projects as your own.
Project Completion Time
This product was in a wait-list for some time, but once actually started it only took Sirus about 2 months to complete. She has an incredible turn-around time, and it’s mind blowing to see how fast she produces quality work.

Final Comments
This maker is one of my favourites in the business. I entrusted her with the most important character I own and she delivered a product that blew all expectations out of the water. This suit means so much to me, and I cannot understate how incredibly happy I am with the result. The entire process felt… magical. Thank you Sirus, for bringing one of the most important aspects of my creativity and personality to life.
