My fursuits

It probably began in 1997 or so, when I started going to Anthrocon but I discovered that I like animal costumes. I like wearing them, posing for pictures and giving hugs, and going to dances in costume. Despite the heat wearing those, it's a lot of fun. Anyway, that's the sum total of it but over the years, I've acquired a bunch of these.

Coyote

Coyote

Purchased from TJCoyote (and originally made by Ocicat) via online auction in 2004. Debuted at Anthrocon 2004. This is the best-fitting fursuit I have, which is quite a surprise considering I was only going by rough measurements when I bid for it. In fact, it seems to fit me better than TJCoyote, whom it was made for.

Black wolf

Black Wolf

Purchased from Ocicat via online auction in 2003. Debuted at JerseyDevilCon 2003. It is a partial suit, i.e. only the head, paws and tail. (which I notice is missing from the picture. Oh well.) Partial suits are meant to be worn with street clothes. For this one, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket is required. The advantage of a partial, as opposed to a full suit, is in the ease of transportation and ease of wearing/removing it. Also, it is not as hot as a full suit although in my experience, most of the heat is in the head anyway so it really isn't that much better.

Unicorn

Unicorn

Purchased at Things Unlimited, a thrift store, in Virginia Beach in 1999. Debuted at Anthrocon 2000. Very simple one-piece design, i.e. the head, hands and feet are all attached. It's a comparatively cheap starter suit.

Lion

Lion

Also purchased at Things Unlimited in Virginia Beach in 1999. Never debuted.
