Spirit The Shiba Inu Fursuit Partial Positive ProjectThis item was a commission Paid: A Lump Sum of $1000 - $2999 Initial Contact: January 2020 Completion/Ship Date: March 2022 Shipping Origin: USA Type: Partial Style: Toony Padding: None SpeciesName: Shiba Inu Found in: Canidae(?) Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactVery easy. I originally messaged them on Instagram. Maker CommunicationI saw that Oakley was open for a slot in their queue on Instagram and reached out to them about it. The measurements were clear and easy to give through google docs. Project Completion TimeMaker got back to me the first day. It was about 2 days later or so that i completed all information and payment. The fursuit took a while to be completed as originally it was to be completed mid-late 2020 but was finished in early 2022. I don't blame Oakley for this as I think it was originally due to the pandemic and the problems that came with it. The suit was started on late February 2022 and finished in time for TFF (March 2022) which I paid a rush payment to get it done by then. Overall Project QualityOverall i’m happy with the product I received and would definitely recommend Oakley as a maker to anyone. The suit is extremely durable and easy to clean. I can definitely see myself having this suit for years to come. Components Head Wear SatisfactionFits perfectly and can breathe very well in it. From all the fursuits I have owned, this has been the one with best breath-ability. Vision is good also, very clear to see things and only small blind spots. Visual SatisfactionThe head came out practically perfectly. The eyes are printed well and the fur designs came out great. All the symmetry is nice except the tongue which is shifted a bit to the left, but besides that it’s good. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hand paws are 4 finger and are very comfortable. They are easy to pick up things with and stay on the hand. Visual SatisfactionPaws look perfect. There is nothing wrong about them. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe Tail is comfortable but is a bit floppy. When wearing it, it flips from side to side sometimes as the start of the tail (where it connects to the belt) isn't very strong/flat. Visual SatisfactionLooks fine, it’s more Husky styled than Shiba styled but overall looks good. RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
