Review InformationReviewerShasta The Husky Prior ExperienceNo, this is my first fursuit Wear Time45 Informed Maker of IssuesThe maker was notified daily of all the problems I encountered while wearing and trying it Shasta the Husky | Full Digitigrade Fursuit Positive ProjectThis item was a commission Paid: A Payment Plan of $1000 - $2999 Initial Contact: June 2023 Completion/Ship Date: October 2023 Shipping Origin: Italy Type: Fullsuit Style: Toony Padding: Digitigrade SpeciesName: Husky Found in: Canidae(?) Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactI found the maker through Instagram and was contacted precisely about this. Very professional maker because he immediately made it clear what he needed and how he would proceed with the commission Maker CommunicationThe discussion started on Instagram, then for my convenience and that of the maker it was moved to Telegram. I consider the service excellent, any changes or work in progress were promptly communicated to me and the best path was chosen. The maker was able to give me the right condolences even when problems occurred and she was very willing to make what I asked for. Project Completion TimeThe fursuit was completed ahead of schedule. The position was secured because he doesn't receive many commissions. We had set a possible completion date for an event and it was completed 2 weeks early, not to mention the various problems that arose. The fursuit arrived home in one day using national shipping Overall Project QualityThe product far exceeded my expectations and the price paid is more than fair. The fursuit in general is easy to wear although to insert the padding it is always better to have external help, because they must be inserted by pushing them and therefore the height must be adjusted to ensure that the gap in the legs is not visible. And very durable as a product. The colors are completely consistent with the reference, and is consistent with the style of the maker Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is easily wearable. It has a zip on the back which makes it easier to wear. Inside it is adjustable and this allows me to decide whether to wear glasses or not the inside has been lined with a breathable material. If you wear it with a balaclava it does not become soaked in sweat. Cleaning is very simple and the eyes can be removed for more complete cleaning. The ventilation, even though the mouth is very closed, is adequate. If you keep it on for a few hours you still need a fan, but for part of the time there is good air circulation He has a very wide vision and a very small front blind spot. you still have to turn your head to see the people next to you or what's under your feet Visual SatisfactionThe character is not identical in every way to the reference, because during the creation phase, some changes were made together with the maker, in particular the half-moons found on the face and legs. They were shot to have a better visual impact. The shaving is uniform across the entire fursuit and the length was respected based on what I had asked for. The fur is very soft to the touch and with the right maintenance it is easy to brush. The expression of the muzzle was specifically agreed with the maker so that it had a more cuddly appearance. His eyes are static but through eyelids and a magnetic tongue he can be given various expressions Hands Wear SatisfactionThe paws were made based on the size of my hand. They have 4-fingered paws and I consider them excellent to wear. Both paws have a reference based on the right hand or left hand. They fit well and don't slip off. Inside they are lined with a breathable fabric that absorbs sweat and are easy to clean. The pads are mostly hard but do not bother wearing Visual SatisfactionFrom the outside the legs do not correspond to the reference because a modification agreed with the maker was made for greater visual impact. The coat is well shaved and easy to brush. the claws are fixed correctly and in the right direction, they are very soft claws. The paw pads are fleece but firm, not soft like claws. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail adapts perfectly to the body, is comfortable to wear, and very mobile and does not bother you when walking. The stitching is tight and there is no problem getting a belt through. It appears to be well sewn and very light Visual SatisfactionThe tail turned out to be how I wanted it. it is shaved correctly and easy to comb, it feels very soft. It moves in the right way and isn't heavy. The tail corresponds to the concept of the reference Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet are comfortable to wear, they were made in digi format. One of my shoes has been inserted inside, so they can only be put on by me or by someone who has the same foot size as me, as well as having a right and left fit. Mobility is excellent, very soft and flexible. If worn for a long time, they may feel a little heavy. They are lined inside to absorb sweat and are easy to clean. They are put on very easily and the foot is firmly inside Visual SatisfactionOn the outside they are well shaved. The claws, like the paws, are soft. These paws were designed for indoor and outdoor use. Below they are equipped with an interchangeable sole for internal and external use, through velcro it is possible to choose which type of sole to use. The pads are made of hard fleece for indoor paws. For outdoor paws there is a soft rubber on the entire paw. The paw respects the reference concept RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating.
