When commissioning a fursuit for the first time, one of the most common questions is:
should you start with a custom fursuit head, or invest in a full suit right away?
Both options have their advantages, and the right choice depends on your budget, experience level, and how you plan to use your fursuit. In this guide, we’ll break down the differences and help you decide which option fits you best.
Who We Work With
We work with clients who value character accuracy, comfort, and long-term wearability.
Whether you are commissioning your first fursuit piece or expanding an existing suit, we help you choose the most suitable option based on your goals, usage (conventions, photos, performance, collection), and budget—so you don’t over-order or make unnecessary compromises.
Commission Process
Our commission process is clear and guided from start to finish:
1) Send references → 2) Confirm options & quote → 3) Production → 4) Completion preview → 5) Tracked shipping
Key details are confirmed before production begins to ensure expectations are aligned and to avoid unexpected changes later.
References & Requirements
Clear references help us achieve the best result. Ideally, please provide:
• A character reference sheet (front/side views if available)
• Color palette and markings
• Any must-have features (ears, eyes, expressions, accessories)
If you don’t have a full reference sheet, that’s completely fine. Share what you have, and we’ll help organize the information into something workable.
Sizing, Comfort & Fit
Comfort and fit are just as important as appearance.
Depending on the item commissioned, we may request basic measurements such as head circumference, height, or shoe size. Clear measuring guidance will be provided so you can measure confidently and accurately.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Materials are selected based on durability, comfort, and visual quality—not shortcuts.
As with all handmade work, small natural variations may occur, but we focus on clean finishing, stable structure, and practical wearability to ensure your piece holds up for regular use and photography.
Timeline, Shipping & Aftercare
Production timelines vary depending on item type and current workload. An estimated timeframe will be provided before confirmation.
All orders are shipped with protective packaging and tracking. Basic aftercare guidance is included to help keep your piece in good condition with proper cleaning and storage.
Conclusion
Commissioning a custom fursuit is a personal and creative process.
Whether you are starting with a single piece or planning a full suit, taking time to understand your options helps ensure a result that fits your character, your needs, and your expectations.
