Features: None Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactInitial contact was great. I spoke to the maker at their booth at Anthro New England. Maker CommunicationCommunication was fast and easy, all done through email after the convention. Maker took no more than one week to respond back to emails. Project Completion TimeI was not on a deadline for this project so the fast completion was a surprise for me. It was completed in just over a month since purchase then shipped a few days later. Overall Project QualityThe project is very high quality and definitely worth the price I paid for it. Everything fits comfortably and looks good when put together. So far there have been no major tears and rips in the suit and it still holds up and is wearable for many more events. Components Head Wear SatisfactionHead was bought premade so it was made to fit different head sizes. I asked maker to add a back pillow so the head would fit better. With the pillow in, the head fits very comfortably. Vision is great and the ventilation is also good. Lining seems to be a balaclava so it is smooth and comfortable. Visual SatisfactionThe head looks amazing. Being a premade, most of the details were already finished but I did get to add on some customization with a hair tuft color, tongue color, and material for the teeth. The maker did a great job meeting these needs. Patterns are symmetrical for the most part. Some asymmetrical fur patterns but they don’t bother me, nor do they take away from the wear satisfaction. Shaving is very clean and even on the face and ears and the fur is very high quality and soft. Hands Wear SatisfactionHands are very comfortable and easy to slip on and off. They are lined with lycra so they absorb sweat well. Durability is amazing. I have used them at different events and nothing has popped or broken. Dexterity is a little harder because they are puffy paws but I had expected them to be that way. Paw pads and claws have stayed on throughout wear. Visual SatisfactionThe paws look incredible. The maker did a great job shaving and patterning the fur. The minky for the pads and claws are soft and clean. The claws stay on well and everything is well stuffed. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is a simple belt loop tail. It has very durable straps through which I use a normal belt. It is lightweight yet fully stuffed and very durable even on longer walks and suiting periods. Visual SatisfactionThe tail is cleanly constructed, with smooth transitions between fur colors. The fur is high quality, soft and vibrant. The tail has a nice swing when I walk and it is not an overbearing weight on my pants. Feet Wear SatisfactionFeet are very comfortable and slip on my feet like a slipper. There are elastics inside to keep my feet in place as I walk. They may be slightly big but this is now fault of the maker – I have naturally small feet and can slip out of even my normal shoes. These paws are very durable. I have worn them in public parks, beaches, city streets and convention halls. Like the hands, the interior is a smooth lycra material. Visual SatisfactionThe paws are big, well stuffed, and proportionate to the rest of the partial. Shaving is clean and the fur is high quality and soft. They match in color with the rest of the suit. Special FeaturesVelcro eyelids and tongue. The eyelids stay on well via velcro but were not the same color as the fur around the eyes. This was an easy fix I could do on my own with my own materials. The tongue is interchangeable with a longer one via velcro. The adhesive on the velcro patches eventually weakened with continuous suiting, and I had to sew in the shorter tongue. I can still use the longer tongue if I tuck it under the one sewn in. These issues were very small and easily fixable, and did not subtract from my satisfaction.
