Features: None Concept ArtPictures of a pine marten. I don’t remember specifics. Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactVery easy to approach. Approached at Anthrocon for the suit based on the footpaws at their table. They reached out after the convention to confirm details. Maker CommunicationCollaborated with the design and made sure I was happy with changes. Great communication. Project Completion TimeFursuit was completed within a year's time. That's a great turnaround time in my book. Overall Project QualityAbsolutely satisfied. He's my baby. <3 Components Head Wear SatisfactionVery comfortable and easy to put on. Built on a balaclava base with foam, so there are no hard places to rub against your head. It's recommended that you wear another balaclava to avoid having to try to wash the inner one. Breathing is no problem. Ventilation is through the mouth, so an outside fan to put in the mouth is recommended if you get hot quickly. I requested that the head be designed in a way so that I can wear my glasses inside. It's tight, but it works great. Still have to figure out a fogging glasses solution. Vision is great for a fursuit head. It is straight ahead, but it's full vision straight without a muzzle blind spot. Visual SatisfactionI love this suit with all my heart. This suit was designed by the maker with inputs from me along the way. This was a new character specifically for the suit. They did a great job making it a weasel and not general-furry shaped, if that makes sense. Symmetry is great. Shaving is great. Fur is very soft and the colors haven't faded. Expression is pretty fixed, but with some exaggerated body language and paw placement, you can convey a wide variety of emotions. Hands Wear SatisfactionVery comfortable to wear and surprisingly dexterous. I've played Uno in these and the only problem was getting the cards off the deck. Seams have been strong and neat. No lining. Visual SatisfactionSymmetry is great. Shaving is great. Fur is very soft and the colors haven't faded. Love the vinyl paw pads because they're super shiny. Tail Wear SatisfactionHas two belt loops in the back that are tight so that the tail sticks close to the body. Tail has held together well and quality is great. Visual SatisfactionSee above. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet took some time to break in. They were very difficult to put on for the first few times, but now they're easy on/off. These are built with foam and polyfill on a normal sock base. Durability is great. Because they're white, I have to do a lot of cleaning and they hold up well. These are indoor paws, so I have to be careful to not be outside often. Visual SatisfactionThese foot paws were the start of Douglas. They were at the maker's table and I just had to have a suit built on them. Quality is great like the rest of the pieces.
