Relationship With Maker The maker is NOT a friend
Prior Experience Yes, I’ve owned three fursuits prior to this and make fursuits.
Informed Maker of Issues I emailed her about my main issues with the suit but she haven’t given a response. It has been over 2 months since I sent the email.
Prior to receiving the suit, I reached out to the maker about two missed completion dates and dropped communication but also never got a response to these messages.

Head Wear Satisfaction
Pros
The head is overall the best part of this suit. It is comfortable, extremely light-weight, has good breath-ability, and has decent vision. There are blind-spots from the nose bridge and muzzle which is to be expected. The inside is lined nicely, with no foam exposed.
Cons
The entrance hole to put on the head is much too small.To put the head on, I have to physically squeeze my head through the suit slowly. The pressure from the squeeze often gives me headaches. Once on, the fit is a little tight for my taste but comfortable.
Visual Satisfaction
Pros
Visually, I’m very satisfied. The expression is just what I wanted and the head is very symmetrical both in the sculpt and the face markings. The whiskers, unlike my previously owned Aheunfursuit head, haven’t fallen out and seem sturdy. The follow me eyes work perfectly.
Cons
Holes- Unfortunately, this suit had a lot of holes upon unboxing. There was one small hole in the muzzle marking and one very large hole that is exposing foam that runs along the entire back of an ear.
Fur- The hair and eye-cheek facial stripes are not the same fur as the rest of the black markings. About half the black markings were replaced on the suit during the commission process with a different black fur, without my knowledge or opinion. These blacks are different colors, textures, and qualities. Aheun stated they replaced black markings due to discoloration, this discoloration is very visible in well-light spaces. The discolored fur is purple-ish. There are glue marks around the eyes.
Neck- The neck markings line up poorly to the bodysuit and the neck is shaped oddly. When worn with the bodysuit, the back of the neck folds upwards a lot exposing the backing of the fur to view and my own human neck. It will not lay flat while suiting no matter what I do to it.
Shave- The white and grey fur didn’t shave as nicely. They are choppier and coarse compared to the blacks. There are many spots, especially around the eyes, where the backing of the fur is showing. The shaving on the ear-tips is choppier than the rest of the suit. There is one noticeable seam on the eyebrow.
Eyelids- The best part of this suit, the eyelids are issue free. They are perfect and change the expression tons.
Body Wear Satisfaction
Armsleeves
Pros
Cons
The arms-sleeves do not fit past my elbows. They are much to skinny for my arms while the arms on the bodysuit are big on me.
Bodysuit
Pros
Cons
Fit- The bodysuit ended up being way too tall. Aheun was provided a DTD. This suit isn’t dropped-crouch yet when I wear it, the suits crouch sits at my knees. My crouch sits above the red line (in the photo provided) while wearing the bodysuit and the bottom of my rear sits an inch above the tail.There is about 5-6 inches of extra height on the bodysuit.
Quality- Before wearing the bodysuit, it was already littered with holes. There were 5 large holes (mainly in the markings) and many small holes. There is also a lot of messy stitching in the bodysuit that either will quickly become a hole or is off the seam and pulling the fabric in weird ways. After suiting, a lot of these seams did pop.

Pros

Bodysuit
Pros
Cons
Design- The bodysuit also has extremely wide fur skirts that flair out the leg holes, so large the feet-paws can be completely be hidden under it. The back stripe doesn’t line up with the continuation of the stripe on the tail.
Fur- Like the head, Aheun replaced some of the black fur on the bodysuit with a different furs without me knowing. Some markings are purple-ish due to this. Half of the furs are not as high-quality and feel course.

Absolutely adorable! Aheunfursuits did a wonderful job making both the indoor and outdoor feetpaws have nice minky paw pads. The paw pads poking out of the outdoor feetpaws is one of my favorite features.

Overall Product Satisfaction
How well does everything fit together and match up? My fursuit is definitely consistent of AheunFursuit’s style and previous projects.The padding, though not sitting where it should on my body, gives a good shape. I was disappointed with the overall look of my bodysuit while worn and it matching up marking wise with other parts. When wearing the suit, visual appeal does go down due to how baggy the stomach is, the butt sagging underneath my knees, and the odd fur skirt at the legs.
The colors of the fur not being consistent is my biggest let downs with this suit. The black fur was already a color compromise from dark grey so to have two different colored blacks is disappointing.
Overall Project Quality I overall am not happy with my fursuit. I cannot use my digigrade fullsuit, armsleeves, or feetpaws properly.I wouldn’t recommend Aheunfursuits at this time. If you were to commission them, I personally couldn’t recommend more than a head and premades as my fursuit head only had slight issues.
Purchase Process
Initial Contact I saw AheunFursuits was going to open for a commission queue and sent a ref for a quote. They emailed me and worked out early commissioning details. It was easy to give Aheunfursuits measurements and a DTD as they sent a diagram of where to measure.
Maker Response Time AheunFursuits went back and forth speaking with me through email, Telegram, and Instagram without much reason. It was very hard to get a hold of them and when they did speak to me, they rarely gave me a response to my previous message to them. There were two 200+ day timespans where AheunFursuits ghosted me. During these periods they still contacted other commissioners and were working on other fursuits. This is a timeline visualizing my commission experience
Timeline of Commission Process
Maker Professionalism Aheunfursuits was kind when speaking to me and professional enough in conversation. There was a language barrier, their first language is Korean, though I didn’t find difficulties with this too much. I didn’t get told much of what to expect but they asked the basic questions. I got two short time-spans during my commission process where Aheun spoke to me, usually giving 1-2 responses brief responses. After the initial questions, I didn’t get much of a personal response from Aheunfursuits. I got a few updates when pieces of my fursuit were completed. The only WIP I saw was the tapped head, tapped bodysuit, eyes, and the drawn out shape of pawpaws for the feetpaws . Near the end of my commission process, they apologized for their second absence in communication. They said their mental health impacted their ability to work and contact costumers, though some people in their queue were still getting responses to emails and updates. They avoided my commission and contact purposefully when overdue.
Project Completion Time I was told my suit would be started in May 2018 but it didn’t get started until Feb 2019. After this I was given two different completion dates of that were both missed. They did not work in order of queue but typically finished them in order. Almost their entire 2019 queue was finished before my suit from their previous queue. My fursuit was trackable up until it left US customs. It arrived very quickly.
