MNFurs Home Page › Forums › General Discussions › Fursuiting › Looking for Fursuit Crafters
I’m looking for people who craft full fursuits, and in particular, I am ultimately seeking a Snow Leopard design traditional to the real animal (rosettes not spots, short ears, etc.) My only past opportuity to get a suit didn’t work out as the craftswoman didn’t feel comfortable trying to do rosettes. Currently, I have a yarn tail, but I would get a new tail if it matches the suit better.
Only do parts? I’d still like to talk. I need to learn a few things:
If you believe you could do a Snow Leopard style in part or all, I would love to hear from you. I do not have a timeline on this idea, it’s just a long lingering desire and I don’t know any crafters in the fursuit line.
Also, you’ll want a new tail. It’ll look better with the suit as a whole, especially when the fur matches up. Yarn tails are cool, but you’ll want them to make the tail.
Gonna give you a few people who do beautiful work:
By Cats 4 Cats (local to MN)
Mixed Candy
OneFurAll
Don’t Hug Cacti
Clockwork Creations (for the realistic suits)
Those guys have proven reputations for great work and good service. But fursuits today range in the area $2k and higher area. So patients and saving are how you’re going to get in the doors with those guys.
That’s all I can think of off hand. There’s a lot more out there that I don’t know. So keep your eyes and ears out. Hopefully you find someone who meets your needs. 🙂 And if you have something coming up like a down payment for a car or expensive yet necessary buy, use the money on that instead! The fursuit makers will continue making and will open up again and again. Once you have what you need to afford one, go for it! 🙂
Other makers I’ve personally been impressed with their work would be Lion of the Sun (taught Adam Savage to sew fur actually), Beetlecat Originals, and Komickrazi (where I got my suit from).

I’m prepared to look into this as an investment. I’m financially responsible and quite aware of my banking. Good idea to point out the 2K being a possible range.
Edit: Never thought of searching for suits as “Mascot”. I thought that was sports teams only in concept. Derp!
They may be a little on the pricey side but the LemonBrat team is wonderful to work with. I would fully encourage you to check out their fursuit website and their other website where they sell Kigus and hoodies. You can find this here- http://lemonbrat.com
I fully recommend this group of artists because of my own personal experiences commissioning them for a hoodie and fursuit. They were a joy to commission and had great response times to questions.
I would also like to note my fursuit had a fan installed by them which was put in the muzzle.
